Abortion & Free but Flawed Speech | National Catholic Reporter

Abortion & Free but Flawed Speech | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: As sad as it is, the Susan B. Anthony fund has the right to lie.  The question is, does lying in politics rise to the level of libel.  I am not sure we should be drawing these lines, instead making the first amendment a bit more absolute.  If the suit goes forward, it certainly will make litigation a big part of political campaigns - much more so than voting counting in a close election.  The question is, could such a precident overturn an election?  I doubt it - as each house of Congress is the only and absolute judge of elections.  That last part decides it all.  This is a political question.  Of course, we on the left are all free to call out the badly named SBA Fund for lying and the pro-life movement with it.  If only we had that kind of freedom of speech in the Church, where Catholic politicians could call out the Bishops for allying with such organizations.
