And who would determine exactly what a lie is? A jury in a liberal stronghold would. And so anything a Republican says would become a criminal act.
Meanwhile, a bold DA in a red state would start indicting Democrats. The whole country would devolve into a mess of show trials.
So on balance, this is a bad idea. It’s the job of the press to expose the lies by politicians. Our problem is not the lack of new laws. Our problem is a biased mainstream press. That’s the difficult nut we’ve got to crack.
It is a politically biased mainstream press with no morals or moral code "The ends justify the means"
Who determines what is and is not perjury?
“Meanwhile, a bold DA in a red state would start indicting Democrats.”
Um...already happening. Gotta return to rule of law and civility - else it’s gonna get REALLY nasty.
