It's the party that worships the constitution ordering the Press on what they can and cannot do

To be fair, they're allowed to tell the press anything. I'm totally OK with that. I'm more upset by the fact they worship and swore to uphold the constitution and then tried to overthrow democracy, and now don't want to talk about it. Either it was a good thing and be proud of it and own it (it wasn't, but in their opinion...), or it was bad and a mistake and you should speak out about it and warn others not to make the same mistake.

There you go thinking Republicans care about anything again. This is the party of power, nothing more. If they ever tell you they believe in something it's because you believing they believe in that something will get them more power.

Oh I know they don't, I just like leaving bread crumbs for people who haven't figured it out. People have to come to the conclusions on their own, just telling them the answer will not get a positive result. This is why people who debunk shit for a living actually cause more people to believe in New Age nonsense.

Don't confuse "likes to selectively cite it in bad faith arguments" with "worships".
