There is a large body of legal precident covering libel, which falls under criminal law, slander falls under civil law. Just get the retarded liberal prosecuters, da's and judges to uphold their oaths of office. Or replace them for dereliction of duty, breach of oath and possibly fraud. :-)

Thanks Dave, I do understand the basics of libel and slander, but does Caveat Emptor no longer apply to the consumers of news?
I think it's a slippery slope, and unconstitutional, to have the government censor news items.
What about presidents lying to the people...can we make that indictable first?

IMO, printing maliciousness against the U.S. President, like the two BuzzFeed Trump-haters did last week, should make journalists indictable.

So's complacency, it would seem.

No. That's as American as Apple Pie.

I doubt it is within even Trump's capacity to get more offensive......but I digress.

Bob Barr?
He hasn't been nominated. Check again.
www.cnn.com...
Washington - The Senate voted on today to break a Democratic filibuster of the nomination of William Barr to be the next US attorney general.
The 55-to-44 vote split on partisan lines with only three Democrats voting to advance Trump's nominee. Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Doug Jones of Alabama and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona joined Republicans to support Barr's nomination.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only Republican to vote no.
