>If it is truly a right, then it can’t be imposed by statute. It would be unconstitutional in same way commanding you to ‘speak your mind’ is unconstitutional. State constitution shouldn’t matter.
Then how can your right to speech be imposed/infringed upon by either perjury or slander, both of which ARE covered by statute?
Because it is specifically political speech that is protected. That’s why I said ‘speak your mind’ as the example rather than ‘don’t shout fire in a crowded theatre’ as the example.
