    Yes, but in this case we are not talking about a lie, we are talking about an opinion which you yourself consider a lie.

    It comes back to objective truth Vs opinion which I have already replied to you about.

    Regardless of this, there are cases where lying is protected by the first amendment.

    The example of where lying is not protected in the case to which we are referring would be:

    Be a provable assertion of fact (not an opinion)
