Nope. Lying is bad but destroying freedom is worse. We cannot give up one of our most cherished freedoms just because some folks may abuse it.

And that is precisely what would happen.  Trump's is the bully argument from start to finish.  It is Nietzsche on steroids. The strongman can file suit after suit, even against people telling the truth. It takes a lot of time and money to run a lawsuit. Big guys wear out little guys all the time. I'm an attorney. I know how this works. Trump knows how this works. The chill on free speech would be YUGE.  This truly is the dark side.  Don't give in to it. I am not kidding. Do not give in to it.

Peace,

SR

The media should be held accountable when causing lives to be ruined by their lies and slander.

I’d say what the MSM does today is suppress free speech from anyone that isn’t on the left.
