    I believe the supreme court Should not be a lifetime job.these people are political appointees and instead of interpreting the const. They follow political lines far to often. They are an embarrassment.

    What do we have if lying is constitutional? We have a country awash in innuendos, false truths, half truths, misrepresentation, deceit, misleading and a out and out country of falsehoods. "Oh what a web we weave when first we practise to deceive." It has been a law forever that an investigator can tell lies to a suspect in a crime in order to gain a confession.
    Looking for a person who will tell you the truth will be impossible. It is commonplace for candidates for office to tell the people lies, half truths and completely false statements thinking that somewhere down the road it will majically become true.

    The real danger in lying or telling lies is that we begin to believe it ourselves and no longer no the difference between fact and fiction. We start to live in "la-la" land, a land of fantasy which is found to feel so much more secure than reality.
