Another S. Court Case to Watch | National Catholic Reporter
Another S. Court Case to Watch | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Sadly, they won't even debate the veracity of the claim (which is entirely true). This will be decided as a First Amendment issue - so the question is whether the Ohio Constitution allows the suit and whether the First Amendent applies. Given how campaign finance cases have gone at the state level lately, there is little hope that this suit will be allowed to go forward. Still, the Justices may just discuss it in oral arguments anyway. Even if they do, it won't mean anything. The answer to lying political speech is more political speech, even if that speech is skewed by Citizens United.
