So people can now be jailed for running an ad that criticizes an officeholder or candidate for office before an election? This is no longer a free nation.

Exactly. You criticize a politician two months before an election and you go to jail. Which means practically anytime in the next year. This decision is the same league as Dred Scott, Roe V Wade And Lawrence V Texas. Another unconstitutional atrocity birthed by the SCOTUS Supremes.

So people can now be jailed for running an ad that criticizes an officeholder or candidate for office before an election? Or praises one for that matter. The other side, whichever side that might be, can be counted on to turn you in. Of course noone would run your ad anyway, because they could then be held as an accessory. Freedom of the press just went down along with freedom of speech. Much of "the press" hasn't figured that out yet.
