Often times in politics, what is a "lie" is more a matter of opinion rather than fact. Who gets to be the arbiter of truth?

If only we had some sort of system, where individuals could be sued for making damaging statements. Maybe each side could present their case, and a jury of their peers could be the ultimate deciders.
