An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

The Constitution does not make lying or fraud legal, much less acceptable. Speech intended to deceive & imperil public health should be illegal. Laws protecting, even promoting, misinformation and disinformation are amoral and reflect the corrupt intentions of this administration and its supporters.
