How could anyone be against this law?

Make all govt fraud penalties be an automatic 200% restitution of all money gained due to the fraud.
A corp could no longer pay a 50K fine and pocket the 2 million they made from the fraudlent activities. Aka just a cost of doing business.

Try 200% restitution for all Fraud, no matter who the victim is? Lets start with truth in Advertising.

 

Politics is exempt for truth in advertising.

lets just start with govt fraud.
Obama should add that to his re-election rhetoric.

 

How could one determine the reparation amount when, say, it is a presidential ad that isn't truthful?

A standard $50 mil?

 

Why should politics be exempt?

 

Duhhh! Who do you think made the law?
Political advertisements/speeches ARE specifically exempt from the truth in advertising law.

congress is also exempt from sexual harassment crimes, etc.
