Reince Priebus says Trump has "looked at" amending Constitution to sue journalists
Quite how he will manage it is yet to be decided.
A chilling insight into the orange rodents mind.
???
1. if someone commits slander or libel, lawsuits are ALREADY GOING ON.
Sylvestor Turner won his lawsuits over slander for media misrepresentation, though these didn't happen in time to change the outcome of those elections back then.
His karma may have played in his favor, because he won his later bid for Mayor (after all the previous problems had long blown over, and he didn't even bring those back up again).
2. Trump and any other citizen has as much right to use media for our individual free speech as well.
Perhaps he needs to clarify what is coming from a separate account that is not endorsed or connected to federal govt office.
He can still speak out, he can still complain and sue for slander and libel as any other citizen can do in cases a violation of the law has occurred.
he just can't abuse his public office to influence a decision that should be based on the case, not on the people or political affiliation of the parties to a conflict or a complaint.
Because of the POTENTIAL of abuses of power in his case, maybe he should
have neutral observers and civil rights watchdog groups consult on this case.
Like a bipartisan commission. And advise both sides to resolve violations and not to abuse party, politìcal or govt power to manipulate the process in any way.
If we had full transparency of the whole process, maybe that would keep things on the up and up.
Where neither side would play underhanded games, then try to play the politics card and blame the other for points.
