FROM LINK :"A federal judge who owes his lifetime appointment to Barack Obama today concluded that a pro-life organization whose leaders criticized a politician for supporting Obamacare for funding abortions just might be guilty of defamation – and possibly worthy of jail time.... According to online databanks, Driehaus was not re-elected in 2010 when former U.S. Congressman Steve Chabot challenged him, and the Democrat party pulled its financial support for television ads when Driehaus fell behind.... According to the SBA List, Driehaus filed a criminal complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission first, a situation that could have resulted in jail time for someone convicted under the statute. He later decided to advance the defamation case instead. "Through this criminal statute, he's even threatening me with jail time," Dannenfelser said at the time. "

This is like campaign finance reform, outlawing us from being critical of the elected who are public figures. You bet a newpaper wouldnt get sued easily.
