That is what Henry VIII told Thomas More.
Pardon but was that not Sir Thomas More's defense at his 'trial' and that defense was ignored by Henry's hand-picked judges? Same thing as you were pointing out but from the different direction. In a fair society, SILENCE can not be assumed as affirming or denying. Of course SJWs of the ilk of Savala Trepczynski, executive director of the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley cannot permit that, they need the marching morons.
Thanks for posting this.
