Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Catherine J. Ross, one of the country's leading experts on freedom of speech, has written an elegant and provocative book on a topic of great importance: How should lies be treated under the First Amendment? As Ross shows, falsehoods can do enormous harm. But our constitutional jurisprudence has failed to provide a meaningful approach, especially when the lies come from a president or are viral over social media. In this clearly written, engaging book, Ross provides a path forward." * Erwin Chemerinsky, University of California, Berkeley School of Law *
"[The book's] argument [is] calculated and well-reasoned. There is no question that Ross has done their due diligence and masterfully provided a framework to address a concern that has been exacerbated by recent presidencies...As [she] infers, the framers recognized that the health of the republic cannot be stymied by rogue executives engaging in behaviors unbecoming of the office. Unfortunately, these behaviors are now a part of the discourse because Congress and the courts have failed to act. This book provides an excellent set of remedies to get them started." * Law and Politics Book Review *
