If Only There Were Fines

I don’t need to quote the first amendment to you. You might even know it better than I do. Basically, hopefully, it protects our freedom of speech and religion, among other things. It seems that the FBI and other officials of the federal government were doing all they could to decrease, even eliminate, those rights by telling the social media to stop people from being able to use the social media to say certain things.

It’s all out in the open now. Even Old Joe’s press secretary has implicitly admitted it in a press conference. Moreover, she said they would do it again if they felt they needed to. Now isn’t that nice. They don’t stop us from saying what we want. They just make sure others do. Same thing. No difference. That gag that was put on conservatives was by the government, by remote control. Moreover, they seem to be proud of themselves for doing it.

My question now is, how are things going to be set right. People have lost their jobs because of what they did. Doctors have lost their practices. Lawyers have been shunned. Some have even gone to jail. Let us not forget the two and three-olds that were tossed out of planes because they refused to wear masks. Certainly, we don’t want to overlook the schools that were shut down by a few power-hungry animals.

Now, let’s see. What do I think should happen now. The people who met with those social outfits should be tried. If found guilty, they should be required to pay fines.

I only wish it were possible. However, I don’t think it is. Odd as it is, even if found guilty, I don’t think that any fines can be levied. I don’t think they can be forced to spend one day in prison. I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.

Perhaps I can get a lawyer and prove the Director of the FBI caused me harm by impeding my speech. However, no matter how successful I am with my suit, I don’t think I could collect a dime. Though the Constitution does say that the government cannot pass any laws against my freedom of speech, as far as I know, there are no statutes prescribing any penalties or fines for government officials limiting my speech, directly or indirectly.

So, unless I am wrong, and I really hope I am, those that have been wronged have but one recourse…shrug their shoulders and strive on. Perhaps one thing we need to do, if we can ever wrestle the government away from those power hungry dems, we need to put some teeth to the first amendment, and maybe a few of the others too. When a government official crosses the line, let’s make sure he pays, if not with his freedom, then at least with his wallet.
