John Jay…our first Supreme Court Chief Justice reminds us of FAKE NEWS:

 

Reminder….Federalist #2 WE THE PEOPLE have been fighting FAKE NEWS since the beginning of our Constitutional Republic:

 

"It is not yet forgotten that well-grounded apprehensions of imminent danger induced the people of America to form the memorable Congress of 1774. That body recommended certain measures to their constituents, and the event proved their wisdom; yet it is fresh in our memories how soon the press began to teem with pamphlets and weekly papers against those very measures. Not only many of the officers of government, who obeyed the dictates of personal interest, but others, from a mistaken estimate of consequences, or the undue influence of former attachments, or whose ambition aimed at objects which did not correspond with the public good, were indefatigable in their efforts to pursuade the people to reject the advice of that patriotic Congress. Many, indeed, were deceived and deluded, but the great majority of the people reasoned and decided judiciously; and happy they are in reflecting that they did so."

Why doesn't our current Chief Justice denounce FAKE NEWS?
