Review Quotes: "Catherine J. Ross, one of the country's leading experts on freedom of speech, has written an elegant and provocative book on a topic of great importance: How should lies be treated under the First Amendment? As Ross shows, falsehoods can do enormous harm. But our constitutional jurisprudence has failed to provide a meaningful approach, especially when the lies come from a president or are viral over social media. In this clearly written, engaging book, Ross provides a path forward."-- "Erwin Chemerinsky, University of California, Berkeley School of Law"
