Ervin Guinn

False statements and lies should not be presented as facts from either side of the political spectrum. If it takes government intervention to stop this misinformation, then that's the way it should be.

Can not allow our freedom of speech to be tampered with at all !!!!! All they are doing is damage control protecting themselves

Nothing people are talking about is the government's business. They need to sit and shut up. Maybe they could try listening instead.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson comments that First Amendment “hamstrings" government. What a terrible thing for a Justice to say. She would happily remove our First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

Vernon Taylor

And we all know why she's there.

Lida Vitt

Max

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.
