    There's almost no way that they can be in accordance with the law and perform any kind of function in that role.
    So folks are boiling the question down too weather or not it's PARTISANSHIP which makes it legal or not for the US government to have a Federal bureau that certifies "truthful" information for the country.

    If that's the point that The legality of the office rest on then it's already over.
    Why?
    Because the Office of Information SAYS it's not Partisan.
    Govt lawyers in court defend it.
    & Govt prosecutors can't seem to find any partisanship.

    It's for the good of the country.

    Leaping frogging the Constitution is such a habit now that it's not even on the table as a legal defense for this New layer or unconstitutional BSery.

    Political Pragmatism on the right has allowed us to get here.
    Along w Assumptions that... "It won't go that far"...
    And it's to RADICAL or POPULIST or UNREASONABLE to follow the limits of the Constitution.

    Constitutionally There's no place in it for blanket govt Surveillance or a ministry of Misinformation .... Etc etc etc.
    But that's fringe thinking.
    enjoy your ministry of truth, I'm sure all the so-called conservative Constitution loving Republicans will love it when they are in charge of it.
