The classified documents case alone should have put the orangegoof in jail long before the 2024 election. But our justice system has... inefficiencies.

The Idiocracy "justice" system is absolute garbage. Merrick Garbage.
That along with the 3 branches falling to corruption there'll never be equality and justice for all within this system as it stands.
Merrick Fucking Garland
If we had a 4th branch in charge of making sure the others only passed laws that served e&j4a we'd not be here today, and we'd not have the plague we're suffering in our sts. Drugs crime Homelessness shootings are all symptoms of multi-generational oppression that goes back to the corruption in DC
The department of "justice" being part of the executive is part of the problem -- especially since the department of "justice" established a policy of dereliction of duty masquerading as law. Establishing that policy made the department "justice" illegitimate.
Supposedly, the media was supposed to play a similar "watchdog" role. But the media is owned by the Robber-Barrons, just like the rest of our government.
The death of the fairness doctrine which Murdoch campaigned Reagan to do is another thing that led to all of this. The media are not held accountable for spreading lies anymore.
The Fairness Doctrine never applied to “media” and never prevented lies.
Lies masquerading as news is however against the law -- faux got around that by exploiting the stupidity of federal judges.
Nope. Most lies are protected speech. Defamation and fraud are exceptions, but they have very specific elements.
Not when they're claiming to be news. Opinion is, but news is not. One of faux' tricks is to show actual news... At night when no one watching, and in court claim that it's all bullshit anyway. Literally
-- faux used "no reasonable person would believe anything our anchors say" as a defense in court... And since american judges are mostly chosen for their stupidity, that worked in court.
No - they said reasonable people know Carlson is an opinion show. MSNBC used the same defense of Maddow. And it has nothing to do with judicial “stupidity” and everything to do with the actual law.
FOX News is a **cable channel**, not a broadcast station. They do not carry an FCC license and are not subject to FCC regulations or oversight.
Going forward any company calling itself "news" should be enforced to share facts only. Opinions are like beliefs to ppl like me irrelevant. Unless it's from a professional in the related field. That's the only opinion I'll gaf about.
“Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;…”
Such a mandate would be a blatant violation of the First Amendment....
The 1st amendment was not intended to be a permission slip to say whatever 1 wanted. It was to protect us from holding our reps accountable for their actions. The intent is what matters.
Well we need something that does. We need to stop allowing politicians to mince words cuz it's become a language barrier now due to how long it's been going on for. The FD at least made it so the other side was presented. Or supposed to be anyways.
Your issue appears to be with the First Amendment.
Our FOS was never a permission slip to say w/e we wanted. It was to protect us from holding our reps accountable for their corrupt actions. Now we have to use it along with our Freedom of protest to fix it all.
1A is certainly NOT limited to speech regarding corrupt actions of government officials. Speech pertaining to the actions of the government (whether corrupt or not) is only one form of speech protected by 1A.
In order to understand everything you have to understand the purpose behind it. The purpose behind the freedom of speech was to hold our elected officials accountable. Because they hated politicians.
Freedom of speech and the press is absolutely permission to say what we want with a few very narrow exceptions. And yes - we can use it to hold elected officials accountable but it is a little wild to think they should be passing laws about what they can and cannot say.
