Suppose someone mentions that gold and silver are money and paper is not supposed to be money under our Constitution. That the fiat currency we now hold is absolutely illegal. What will be the reaction from the Liberals and even many Conservatives to that?

Perhaps to challenge you site a reference.

I would direct them to the appendix of "The Great Income Tax Hoax," written by Peter Schiff's father, Irwin Schiff.

There, one can see the Supreme Court cases, Wheat; etc., that point out that gold and silver are real money.

Also, I would note that while the Articles of Confederation allow for fiat currency; e.g., emit bills of credit, that language was omitted from our Constitution.
