You really are clueless about the constitution, and the background
behind it, aren't you? You don't have the slightest idea about
why the first amendment is there, or what it means.

You are completely in the dark about the reason that political
speech is the *highest* protected form of free speech, that in the US
anyone can say anything about a politician, without fear of prosecution.

You do not know that it is practically impossible to slander or libel
a politician, because this is exactly what the framers of the US
constitution WANTED to be the case. They WANTED the press to be
completely biased, unfair, and dishonest about what they printed.

They recognized that any government that could not stand up to the
inferno of a competely unfettered press was doomed to failure, and
that any govenment that could not tolerate same was doomed to devolve
into tyranny.

You do not appreciate this, nor do you apparently care.

Tell me sir, once they crown you emperor, how do you enforce the
fairness requirement on the press?

Well, the first thing you would have to do is pass a law about it.

Right there you run afoul of the constitution, because of that thing
that says "Congress shall pass no law...."

What does it say - some kind of law? Only laws about fairness? Or
maybe only laws that favor the current adminstration? Small laws?

No. It says NO LAW. None.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

You will notice it also forbids the free expression of religion. Not
to mention freedom of speech.

Im still waiting for your cites on the claim you made about :freedom
From religion:
