"So I would not have been lying, or even mistaken, had I said in my book
review that in Heller Scalia 'actually resorts' to 'legislative history'
in its narrowest sense ('drafting history'). But I did not say that."
--The latest missive from Judge Posner
<http://newsandinsight.thomsonreuters.com/Legal/News/2012/09_-_September/Text_of_Judge_Posner_s_respose_to_Justice_Scalia/>
in the Posner-Scalia feud.

"Does GOP campaign literature contain a false statement? Ohio
Elections Commission to decide" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=40465>

Cleveland Plain Dealer
<http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2012/09/state_elections_commission_fin.html>:
"There is probable cause that a piece of anti-Issue 2 campaign
literature, distributed by the Ohio GOP, violates Ohio election law,
members of the Ohio Elections Commission decided today. The panel voted
4-0 to hold a full hearing Oct. 4 to decide the truthfulness of a claim
in the Republican mailer that members of a proposed redistricting
commission 'will be chosen in secret.' Ohio election law prohibits
circulation of false statements to influence ballot issues."
This is great timing for me as I'm in the midst of writing a piece on
regulating false campaign speech.
