In other words, a public official can lie about official business with total impunity. One of these two must be mistaken (Not telling the truth). Thank goodness that we live in a Nation of Laws! /sarc
Exactly. That is what is at stake.
When we have neither truthfulness nor the rule of law, we are ripe to become what every other banana republic or third-world dictatorship has become. What separates us from Libya, Egypt, and Iran is the public’s ability to demand truth and the rule of law. If we lose that we lose everything that America is.
And to be perfectly honest, it’s not looking very good for America right now. The America the free world has known and loved is fading before our very eyes, pulled under by lies and lawlessness while the people’s hands are tied by courts saying that nothing about the government is our business.
Either we find a way to MAKE it our business, or this nation will drown in the cesspool. It’s that critical.
