Read the following passage from Senator Smith's "Declaration of Conscience":
It is ironical that we Senators can debate in the Senate
directly or indirectly, by any form of words, impute to any American who is not a Senator any conduct or motive
unworthy or unbecoming an American-and without that non-senator American having any legal redress against us -yet if we say the same thing in the Senate about our colleagues we can be stopped on the grounds of being out of order.
What is Smith's goal in pointing out this irony?

Senator Smith's goal in pointing out this irony is to highlight the hypocrisy and double standard that exists within the Senate. He is emphasizing that Senators have the freedom to criticize and attack non-Senator Americans without consequence, but if they were to do the same to their fellow Senators, they would be silenced and reprimanded. Smith is calling attention to the unfairness and lack of accountability within the Senate, and advocating for a higher standard of behavior and discourse among Senators.
