"...you belittled the Constitution to promote your agenda." Your entire post shows how you want to have it both ways. On the one hand you admit saying just what I claimed you had said, and on the other you call me a liar. Yes, this is classic Barbara. You would not know the truth if it slapped you in the face.

P.S., I never "belittled" the Constitution. That was your interpretation of my claim that lies were not constitutionally protected speech.

Why do you claim in this same post that tabloid lies are protected speech? Don't you realize that you've just contradicted yourself? Now you are saying that the Constitution defends one's right to lie - the opposite of what you earlier claimed to believe. Barbara, even tabloids have been successfully sued for lies.

But here we see your problem - to you, truth is relevant - if you say it, it's protected speech. You can make two, contradictory statements in one post and assume that everyone should accept this both ways.

Barbara, truth is absolute, and a lie is a lie.
