Alvarez through communication law, political philosophy, andThis project examines the legal discourse around political falsehood in the wake of the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Alvarez through communication law, political philosophy, and communication theory perspectives. As U.S. v. Alvarez confirmed First Amendment protection for lies, Robert N. Spicer addresses how the ramifications of that decision function by looking at the legal discourse surrounding First Amendment protection for political deception. Illustrating how commercial speech is regulated but political speech is not, Spicer evaluates the role of lying in politics and its consequences for democracy in a contemporary society conflicted between political expression, political figures, and the media.
