"Nasty As They Wanna Be", Terri R. Day
"Nasty As They Wanna Be", Terri R. Day
Terri R. Day
"Nasty as They Wanna Be" reflects on the social and legal implications of campaign speech restrictions. On the heels of a vigorously fought presidential election, much of voters' and media attention focused on the tenor of the campaign ads and accusations. Although most states and municipalities have some type of "clean campaign" speech restrictions, this paper takes the view that such attempts are per se unconstitutional. The relevance of the "market place of ideas" and New York Times v. Sullivan remains paramount when government attempts to control the content of political discourse during campaigns.
