California congressmen wrote a letter to state attorney general Kamala Harris claiming the freedom of speech “is not designed to protect fraud and deceit” of the likes being spread by oil company ExxonMobil about global warming.

Nineteen Democratic lawmakers told Harris her “investigation as to whether ExxonMobil lied about the truth of climate change and misled investors does not constitute an effort to silence speech or scientific research.

Hmmm. Getting in before the Nov election trying to suck up to camel-duh harris huh. On of the 2 "dim" running for boxcars senate seat. Anyway, :...“is not designed to protect fraud and deceit” of the likes being spread by oil company ExxonMobil about global warming." It should be noted that it also doesn't protect the fraud being perpetrated on the entire world for a non-existent problem that even if did exist, we aren't gonna do anything about. I know, just send money. That always fixes everything right?

Liberalism has always been about gaining power then crushing dissent.

I’ll say what I want on any scientific topic. If you forbid it and try to arrest me, you are stasi and I have a right to shoot you.

Clear enough?

“The First Amendment doesn’t protect the free speech of people who disagree with me.”

The Second Amendment does that.

So just speaking your opinion about an idea is fraud? It sounds to me like a fundamental undermining of the Second Amendment.

...“The First Amendment doesn’t protect the free speech of people who disagree with me.”....

Liberalism’s first rule is to completely silence the opposition . When that fails, the opposition must be completely destroyed.
All speech must be filtered through their Ministry of Truth.

“The First Amendment doesn’t protect the free speech of people who disagree with me.”

The Second Amendment does that.

Boy oh boy those Founders have us just where they want us!

THANK YOU GOD.

I still reel when I think about how far seeing that Constitution is. And how much it pisses off the Establishment.

I was corrected by a Freeper yesterday when I said it was the Libs. They were right its both sides....

If we banned lies and falsehoods, every single liberal and Warmist in America would be executed for grossly violating such a ban.

Any government that abuses the American people and denies them their rights as explained in the Bill of Rights must be removed and replaced with a new government.

She oughtta be really careful about talking about “Fraud” and “Deceit.” There’s a point at which even God’s patience will find an end, and she’ll be eating her words with a heaping helping of crow.

At least that is what the earthly founders intended.

What really HAPPENS, is entirely at the mercy of God. We especially are not in an advantageous position to force others to do what God would prefer, if we ourselves are not addressing our own lives to such ends.

“Common sense” speech control.

The next logical step after “common sense” gun control.
