The early reviews are in, and three federal judges appeared in agreement Wednesday that a movie lambasting Hillary Clinton seemed an awful lot like a 90-minute campaign advertisement.

.....Attorney James Bopp argued that they should be considered "issue-oriented" speech because viewers aren't urged to vote for or against the Democrat.

"What's the issue?" asked Judge A. Raymond Randolph, a federal appeals judge sitting on a mixed panel to review the case.

"That Hillary Clinton is a European Socialist," Bopp replied. "That is an issue."

"Which has nothing to do with her campaign?" U.S District Judge Royce C. Lamberth interjected.

2. Good news, Rodeodance.

This is one of the strangest cases, seemingly indefensible to me. I'm glad to hear that the federal judges agree.

5. You people bashing Hillary and making fun of this

What would you do if they made a movie about Obama and called him muslim, untrue, slurred his name and all that stuff. You would be so mad you'd jump over the moon. Why do you think republicans have the right to continue to slur and lie about Hillary but shouldn't be allowed to do the same about another candidate. Just shows the republican thinking of some of the other guys supporters.
