Imagine in the current and previous Republican Parties breaking the 10 commandments was a common thing. And they professed their fealty to their religion. Where you deal in sins. At a certain point the sins can be so transgressive it becomes very difficult to be forgiven.
I see all govt functions as secular and should be dealt with that way until such a time a revolution takes place and replaces the Bill of Rights, and our secular law with Biblical laws. (Which treatments of transgressors is much more painful and may include amputation, torture and even state-church sanction murder.)
To continue to allow flagrant lying to be done without sanction is unforgivable and must be changed. Just as the idea of Free Political Speech must allow for lying also is aberrant to our culture. We must give them a reason to speak only the truth. Change the laws to be especially harsh in govt. Though in place of tongue removal I would use injected paralyzing agent for awhile till they have time to talk less, lie less, and turn to truth alone in govt or resign with a black mark of those lies to follow them around till they die from a natural death. And put it on their tombstone as well. We treat political liars a bit too lightly and we need to make it certain they never simply lie. This was long before our current regime where lying is the least of their malignant actions.
