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

Ok, what prevents you from committing murder?

Beside the point since murder is not one of the rights enumerated in the Bill of rights
Do try to stay focused

But to answer your question
It's YOUR DECISION NOT TO commit murder that prevents you from committing murder
Clearly that is something that differentiates you and I from murderers

Does the law STOP you from committing murder the instant before you do ?
No
The law MAY punish you AFTER THE FACT, if you commit murder.


Or is murder also protected rights?

Feel free to support your contention that murder is listed as a protected right in the Bill of Rights
