      There’s a reason I started my comment with, “In this instance.” I was only speaking to the fact that the VP encouraging private citizens to rat on each other is not a 1A violation.

      Pam Bondi threatening to target people is a 1A violation if she actually follows through.

        Yeah but James Donald Bowman knew that when he said it. Of course his demented rapistness’ has instructed them all to break the law. Its what he does, and as cult members who aren’t very competent at their jobs of course they’ll do it.

        She backed off, claimed it “won’t be prosecuted” but not actually affirming the 1A’s freedom.
