What does "absolute" mean in this context?
Nothing trumps it.
Ok.

Give me an example.
Free speech and slander
The right to speech extends up to the point that it substantially affects another's rights. Therefore, slander is not an aspect of free speech.

Then the right of free speech is NOT absolute. It can be regulated.

No.

Consider set theory, if that helps.

Slander is NOT within the set of the right to free speech. It is /outside/ of the right.

BZZT
If that is the case, show me the statute that forbids slander
There is NONE

Do I gather correctly that you think that slander is an aspect of free speech?


Wow
That didn't take you long
Actually LIBEL and SLANDER are protected as free speech
There is NOTHING that PREVENTS you from expressing either one
The ONLY aspect of either one is that if you cause harm, you MAY be liable under CIVIL law
There is NO government EDICT that can prevent you from expressing either slander or libel

This is not complicated, bub
Don't confuse the act with the possible consequences
You have an ABSOLUTE right to open your mouth and do it
The rest is AFTER THE FACT.
