Lol. Protecting her right to free speech doesn't require me to agree with her speech. You, thankfully, don't get to dictate what is/is not protected.
That free speech is ok, but it sounded like a threat to dismantle our national security, constitution, and laws of the land. She took an oath to protect the constitution, not to dismantle it.👍

She can do nothing by herself. We are protected by our government's checks and balances. She is espousing radical idealogy which is idiotic. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about over her comments.

I wish Bezos would move his AMZN headquarters to Tennessee. Tell SEA to pound sand and pack it up.

What is it?

Putting out a fire that local and state governments created in reaction to a 100-year pandemic.

Generally, printing money is government attempting to avert deeper recession which, nearly uniformly, monetary policy played a role in creating or exacerbating. It's a natural outgrowth of quasi-corporatism, business cooperating with politicians in exchange for tax and regulation favors, and competitive advantage. Politicians receive donations, "job creator" street cred, and often a parachute landing point after politics.

At no time does government take over production (socialism), nor assume de facto control of production (fascism-national socialism) which by definition puts production under social control. I don't object to calling it corporate welfare, but a welfare state (corporate or social) is not the defining characteristic of a socialist nation; social ownership or control of production is.

Are her comments not a violation of her oath of office? She swore to uphold and protect the Constitution.
Words do not violate the Constitution. Actions violate the Constitution. She can say whatever she wants, but it's meaningless unless she attempts to put those words to action. Even then, there's lots of leeway. It's the job of the courts to interpret the Constitution, which is why the fact they have become a political body worries me. Justices and judges should be about the law, not politics.
