But do you really think my examples are far fetched? It’s not about what YOU intend with this idea. It’s the reality of how those on the left would twist such a law to intimidate and silence conservative thought and opinion. I get where you are coming from, but criminalizing speech, except in limited corcumstances like court and congressional hearings, is not really a good idea. Government cannot be trusted with too much power.
BTW, even perjury laws already on the books get abused by the government - just ask Steve Bannon and Scooter Libby. Do we really want to give the government more ammo?

already.
not criminalizing speech. criminalizing provable lies in elected office or attempting to gain office.
we must start punishing treason and oath breakers. Hopefully we can agree on that.
but lying to the public by a elected official, or those seeking office should not be tolerated, imo.
The system isn’t working and new checks are required.
