Having departed from the founders' understanding of libel, the Supreme Court of today declines to protect the reputation of public figures—a gap that has been abused by the press to run unfounded narratives. Author of No Liberty to Libel Carson Holloway joins the hosts this week to trace the morphing values of the 19th and 20th centuries, and to advocate a restoration of older principles. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt narrowly lost to Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman in the L.A. mayoral race following a sudden wave of mail-in ballots, highlighting California’s lax voting standards.
