In an 8–0 decision, the Court ruled in favor of Hustler magazine, holding that a parody ad published in the magazine depicting televangelist and political commentator Jerry Falwell as an incestuous drunk, was protected speech since Falwell was a public figure and the parody could not have been reasonably considered believable. Therefore, the Court held that the emotional distress inflicted on Falwell by the ad was not a sufficient reason to deny the First Amendment protection to speech that is critical of public officials and public figures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustler_Magazine_v._Falwell
Хотя нынешние консерваторы, превратившись в партию трампистов, несколько подзабыли про Первую поправку.
I’m shocked there is no uproar from strict constructionist Republicans, who cherish the intent of the founding fathers. Shocked, I say. I suppose what’s true in their minds for the second amendment is not true for the first. https://t.co/PCPsM3w5Rx

В прошлом году на конференции CPAC Девин Нунес получил награду “Defender of freedom”.
В этом году на той же конференции сын Фоллуэла, над которым издевался Ларри Флинт, беседовал с сыном Трампа.
