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.
