Your right to speech is protected, but not a right to slander.

So my right is infringed. This infringment is a moral and just infringment, but an infringment nonetheless.

Society is simply a matter of lines. We must decide where those lines are drawn. Sometimes, the line is just and reasonable, i.e., the infringment on free speech when it comes to slander or libel. Other times, the infringment is unjust, as in McCain/Feingold.

"So my right is infringed."

Think of it as "reasonably restricted".
