Reply to comment by liber_tas in Free State Founder Jason Sorens Fails in Court To Silence Critic by smartest_kobold

Well, yes, that's literally how the law works. The legislative branch passes the law and the judicial branch interprets the law. If you'd sincerely like to know where the line is, I suggest studying case law. Lots of decisions and precedent to read through here: https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/encyclopedia/case/63/libel-and-slander

Yes, so someone might think they're slandered, the court might decide not. Not sure what your point is though.
