I am not a lawyer, but I know from reading various stories on this type of lawsuit that a person holding or running for public office has a much more difficult time suing in civil court in this type of case.

As for criminal court, there is not law that applies.

If I am wrong, please post the law.

If you threaten a public official, if you create a public disturbance you can be arrested.

But not for what you say providing you say it in a place allowed by law; meaning that you are not crashing someone else’s party to do so.

This is about intimidation and suppressing the truth about Obama. If they scare people with prosecution, they only need to hide the truth another seven weeks.
