Bad idea. Who gets to say what is and isn’t a lie? If this law were in place right now, for example, Trump would undoubtedly have already been convicted under it. The DOJ is controlled by Dems, and they have declared that the 2020 election was absolutely fair and clean. Trump has claimed otherwise — they would consider that to be a lie and would most certainly have prosecuted and likely have convicted him.
I’ll keep the First Amendment the way it is, thank you very much. If a politician slanders someone, they can be held liable in a civil suit, but criminalizing free speech is not a good idea.
it’s got nothing to do with the first amendment.
Perjury is a crime.
Whether its performed from a person to the court, or a person to the public for the purpose of attaining office. Or by a person in office to the public.
Perjury is a crime.
Tell the Democrats about vilifying free speech. I have so much more to say...
I agree. Horrible idea.
