“Anti-abortion group seeks to bypass ban on campaign lies”

The Susan B. Anthony case is back in trial court quickly after this week’s SCOTUS ruling:

A national anti-abortion group has asked a federal court to block enforcement of an Ohio law that bans false statements about candidates during elections.

The Susan B. Anthony List is seeking to post a billboard shaming an anti-abortion Democrat. In a motion filed Friday with the U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, the group said the law that prohibits the billboard “chills core political speech and violates basic First Amendment principles.”
