Who decides if a political ad is a lie? | New York Post

Steve Driehaus [D-Ohio] is still a loser.
For those who remember, Driehaus was the Ohio politician who sued his political opponents for — get this — “depriving him of his livelihood” as a congressman. So egregious was this sorehead’s effort to criminalize people for criticizing him, even the local ACLU sided against him.
Now the folks Driehaus tried to bully into silence will get their day in the Supreme Court. Their case raises a fundamental question about speech: In a free society, who gets to decide the truth or falsity of political claims: the voters, or an unelected government panel?
