Rights, even those guaranteed by the constitution, are never absolute. Free speech rights don’t protect us from committing libel or slander, for example.

In a crowded six way race among Republicans in HD 11, Donnie Horner is lapping the field in terms of fundraising. August’s haul of $7,675, though modest compared to previous months, nonetheless had a couple of noteworthy names, in the form of GOP powerbrokers Michael Munz and Peter Rummell. Rummell gave $1,000 and Munz donated $500 on August 18. […]
