This book examines the history of the legal discourse around
political falsehood and its future in the wake of the 2012 US
Supreme Court decision in US v. Alvarez through communication law,
political philosophy, and communication theory perspectives. As US
v. Alvarez confirmed First Amendment protection for lies, Robert N.
Spicer addresses how the ramifications of that decision function by
looking at statutory and judicial handling of First Amendment
protection for political deception. Illustrating how commercial
speech is regulated but political speech is not, Spicer evaluates
the role of deception in politics and its consequences for
democracy in a contemporary political environment where political
personalities, partisan media, and dark money donors bend the truth
and abuse the virtue of free expression.
