Libel and slander are lies told with malicious intent. You do believe that one has a right to protection from those who would do one harm, don’t you?
“You do believe that one has a right to protection from those who would do one harm, don’t you?”
Not legal protection. Fight lies with the truth!
The Constitution protects your right to say it regardless of your intent. The government has NO RIGHT to abridge expression of opinion as long as it doesn't disturb the peace or is a physical assault (bodily threat), ESPECIALLY regarding politicians, which was the main thought behind this amendment. Obama's violating the Constitution and 1st Amendment. He has NO legal right to stop you from expressing your opinions about him or anyone else or anything else. The justice system will hold you responsible IF you're able to prove libel or slander in court. But you're inalienable right to freedom giver you the right to express it. The burden is on the accuser to prove in a court of law if it was illegal. This is just more "Liberal Tyranny". The liberals and Obama are phonies. They're actually Neo-Nazis.
