I strongly support this. Freedom of speech is not absolute and should carry civil liability and professional sanctions as determined by context, status of representation, and venue. I would like to see how they enforce this. It would be nice to sanction deceptions whether by stupidity or deliberation. On the other hand, I would not want to see somebody sanctioned because in the heat of the moment of a live debate they accidentally misstate some facts or incorrectly draw an inference. In that case the speech is not entirely truthful but there was no intention to deceive either. Debates seek to educate the electorate about a candidates mastery of the subject matter and their ability to qualify their position against a challenged response.
