oh word is Andrew Sullivan worried now that they've started going after legal status obtained through "falsehood"

No Harm?
A falsehood void of name

And told too well, brings shame.
A charge’s fictive ground
Does not excuse the sound

"You caught him in this NBA game too in Atlanta"
"Yeah," Schmitt says
There's no mention that Schmitt had all his facts wrong
