Justice Alito is going to allow the Biden Administration to justify why they should be allowed to control all the content on social media platforms and coordinate with the social media companies to remove opinion & information against their interests. This should be interesting. 😂🤣😂
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would place restrictions on the Biden administration’s contact with social media companies.
The brief order issued by conservative Justice Samuel Alito came less than two hours after the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to step in.
It gives the court more time to consider what next steps to take before deciding whether to grant the administration’s request. In the meantime, the lower court ruling will remain on hold until midnight on Sept. 22.
[…] Alito’s order, which does not mean the court will necessarily grant Prelogar’s request once considered in more detail, said the states should respond by Sept. 20.
[…] “The implications of the Fifth Circuit’s holdings are startling,” Prelogar wrote. “The court imposed unprecedented limits on the ability of the President’s closest aides to use the bully pulpit to address matters of public concern, on the FBI’s ability to address threats to the Nation’s security, and on the CDC’s ability to relay public health information at platforms’ request.” (read more)
Methinks they doth protest too much.
Thwart Your Local Derp State!
Alito would love for them to dig their own grave.
My thoughts exactly TLH! “It’s a complicated business folks.” Trump at a 2017 Rally
his first public utterance as president elect
Thanks for the clarification Kustie. I do remember watching a Trump Rally live when he said it, too.
Yup‼️ Alito wants them to expose their rational before slamming the door on their grubby fingers. I just can’t wait for the rebuke 😜.
It’s Hoffman 🥴
No, their rationale is in the paperwork they just filed a few hours ago. Alito is giving them what they want for 8 days: allowing the government-run deep state social media censorship machine to continue to operate for at least 8 more days. The plaintiff/appellee’s response will be due in six days. So we’re actually waiting for the pro-free speech rationale to be “exposed.”
Alito is not the problem. Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are totally unreliable IMHO. They have failed PDJT numerous times and appear to only be reliable enforcers of the government institutions as currently structured and operating under Establishment “rules”.
They’re afraid. simple as that.
Yes. But I distinctly remember Barrett emphasizing her decisions would be “without fear or favor” during her confirmation hearings.
Sadly, I believed her.
So did I, Barb. 😡
Sadly, Barrett accepts the jesuitical jurisprudence of the “common good,” which is a get-out-jail-free card to disobey the law and the constitution whenever you think the “common good” warrants disobeying them, i.e., whenever you feel like it.
If you are referring to Barrett getting her J.D. at (undergrad at a Presbyterian – founded small college) and teaching at Notre Dame’s law school, you are in error. The university was founded by the Order of Holy Cross not the Society of Jesus. However, given the current occupant of the chair of St. Peter, well…
SCOTUS, at the very least, has been pretty unwavering on the first amendment.
Problem is, the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution has nine more very critical amendments of which SCOTUS has been very shaky or silent.
Then there is the 14th Amendment, which has been thoroughly trampled by the Obama and Obama-Biden Administrations and the Deep State during all including the Trump Administration without appropriate response from SCOTUS.
And Roberts is the least reliable of all. People who think the Supreme Court is going to save us from the deep state tyranny that has been carefully constructed over the last 20 years are being naive to the point of silliness. If the Supreme Court were even slightly interested in rescuing the constitutional republic, they would have done something about the 2020 election theft, and they did not.
We’re heading for a civil war that our side will unquestionably lose, because their side has the military and all the armed federal agencies, plus pan-opticon security state that is focused on 24/7 surveillance of we the people. I think we’re headed for a multi-decade dark age, at least.
Yes. I don’t even count Roberts as a conservative. IMO he is simply an anti-Trump , Deep State controlled puppet.
“Fear not, for I have overcome the world.”
–Jesus Christ, Light of the World
But He also warned us it was going to be a wild ride.
They are decades long Bushies. That always the answer when it comes to those three.
👍
They have failed AMERICA numerous times…
Fixed it for ya.
Bingo, it’s just like in those mob/gangster movies where they end up having to dig their own graves, think the Robert DeNiro film Vegas and the scene with Joe Pesci and his brother in the Nevada desert!!! 😵
Panic in DC (& Wall Street/Sea Island world).
😂😂😂😂😂
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, McCarthy had a meltdown on Gaetz and told him “to file the motion” to vacate. Sparks flying all over the place with the RINO house members.
RNC/GOPe imploding. 💥
Never interfere with an enemy ….🦗
…while in the process of destroying himself, lol.
Nice assist, ARR!
Personally, I prefer “while he is in the process of stepping on his own d*ck” but whatever,…lol.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
OMG, you are in rare form tonight.
Having observed him for several years, I think this act you describe, Dutchman, would be technically impossible for McCarthy to do.
Good point,…stepping on his own clitoris,…too graphic?
OK. I laughed way too hard at that!
Yeah
If Mc broke the deal, file the motion, Its that easy. Expose some more of these RNC Rinos on the take.
I wish he showed as much anger at Dems and the weaponized government as he does to his conference. Very telling but we already knew.
Censorship is Cowardice.
It is an admission of defeat.
Or, Mc pointing out that the “motion to vacate” is a toothless threat, as it only stops all business, while they take another “9 days to select a Speaker” only to end up right back where they were, before.
THATS why Mc has broken “the deal” because it was ALL a head fake by Gaetz and the Freedom caucus, wjo are the new “controlled opposition” continueing the kabuki theater of Goudy.
If it stops all business for 9 days, and they do it on September 25th, but without passing a budget first . . . ->
Shut down.
Censorship is the universal rule of all governments everywhere throughout human history. Freedom of speech and of the press was the glittering exception to the rule. Alas, it turned out to be too short-lived.
Krugman has never ever correctly said anything.
So I’ve concluded he’s always been told what to say.
Kind of like the old adage of whatever company is on the cover of Fortune magazine, short it.
Maybe he’s just not as smart as he thinks he is.
He’s a legend in his own mind.
Krugman is the smartest guy in the world. His grandmother said so!
“Krugman has never ever correctly said anything”
Last week, when my teen (a senior) left AP macroeconomics book home – I noticed it was written by Paul Kraugman and Robin Wells.
I did some searching to discover he’s $itting pretty – dominating in public education textbook market by saturating young brains with his nonsense and our tax dollars.
Scary.
🎯
Krugman wrote an economics book that is used in high school. Much rubbish. The guy deserves a nobel as much as 0bama
The best description I ever heard of Paul Krugman came from Bernard Goldberg.
“Krugman is often compared to John Forbes Nash, another Nobel-winning economist. But there are two important differences. One, Nash actually made meaningful contributions to the field of economics. Two, Nash lived out his paranoid delusions in private, not every Tuesday and Friday on the pages of the New York Times.”
🏆⭐️🏆⭐️🏆⭐️🏆
Krugman was the Fetterman of his day.
Idiots are always opening their mouths when they should keep them shut.
Lol. Krugman, writer for the failing/lying NYT, an Economics professor at CUNY. Typical Lefty with no clue about real life.
Krugman also predicted that if Trump won in 2016 that the economy would crash – such a doofus
He has a record of being correct on any issue only paralleled by Joe Biden.
Whatever this numbskull says, think the polar opposite and you’ll be right. He undoubtedly thinks the sun rises in the west.
They only want to censor speech that is true!
yup. Disinformation and Truth are one in the same. So how hard is it really for Twitter and Google’s AI programmers to flag “disinformation”?
The cannot even tell the difference between a man and a woman.
They HAVE inadvertently made it so easy to discern the Truth.
We don’t NEED to spend hours, pouring over detailed research on the arguments on both “sides” of Climate Change, or the Vax, or the Ukraine war.
Just look at whatever THEY first ignore, then villify as rascist, nationalist conspiracy theory, and we can KNOW that THAT is the truth.
For those of us keeping score at home the Fact-Checkers have made it too easy for us.
The Dems despise the truth and so does Lucifer. Two peas in a pod.
But Lucifer was there first!
See “The Screwtape Letters” for how lucifer passes on his ‘craft knowledge’ to younger devils …
Great book! Should be on everybody’s “must read” list!⁹
“The Father of Lies”, and true leader in our corrupt government!
Mike Benz was on with Kyle Seraphin for almost two hours this morning. The talked at length about the censorship regime and alluded to Missouri v Biden.
Mike Benz used to be a high up tech guy at the State Department.

This will be one of the single most significant rulings SCOTUS can make. Public conversation is either open and free or controlled more tightly than China or any other communist nation
And perhaps Alito wants the issue in front of the SC so that they can rule soundly and decisively on it.
BINGO!
Perzactly.
Biden has effectively violated this ruling, in the published “advisory” memorandum to the press, on reporting on Bidens Impeachment.
And, calling it an “advisory” is there way of preemptively trying to get around the core argiment of the missouri case, which has already been addressed in the arguments by the plaintiff.
The Gov. can not do (censor speach) by proxie, what it is prohibited from doing directly by the Constitution.
There is no “emergency”, “public health” or even “National Security exception (see the Pentagon Papers case).
And, when the Fed Gov. TELLS media or Big Tech companies, its NOT just “advising” BECAUSE of the awsome POWER the Fed. Gov has over ANY Business.
The answer to lies, is NOT to prohibit lies, its to allow TRUTH, which means NOT censoring.
Yet another Irony. It WAS the NYT’s, 30 years ago that took it to SCOTUS, to affirm their is no Natl. Security exception to free press.
And now the Rebel alliance of alt media (Jim Hoft, TGP) taking this case to SCOTUS and destroying the deep state arguement for Censorship by proxie.
Put this along with the coverage by TGP of election fraud, J6, etc. add in Sundances exposure of Jacks magic coffee shop, The RDS ploy, Regitigers expose of J6,.. the Rebel alliance of alt media is TOTALLY dominating the MSM/Big Tech.
Just as another thread is singing “ding, dong the GOP is dead, this thread is singing “Ding, dong MSM/Big Tech is dead!”
^^^^^
watch for the pillow case over the head
No, the issue will be fully briefed eventually, and does not need to be briefed to deny this request to keep the censorship regime in effect until the end of the judicial process.
What this ruling suggests is that Alito sees, at least on the surface, some validity to the argument that the censorship regime must remain in place or the American people are not safe from [insert your parade of horribles here: terrorism, crime, misinformation, malinformation, etc.] Else why leave the censorship regime in place for even 8 days?
This is not good. Not good at all. An awful lot of jurists have been convinced that the censorship regime–the partnership between the deep state and social media–is a good and necessary thing. We will soon see whether a majority on the SCOTUS have been so convinced.
David: Alitto’s allowance does not seem good to me, either. The SCOTUS will look for and find ways to allow the Executive Branch to do what it wants, with a few easily circumvented prohibitions to appear “balanced.”
We can hope. But there is no longer any guarantee at all that the SC will uphold constitutional principle. It depends much more on who is wanting to be invited to which soirees in DC.
Few dilemmas are more clear cut than this one.
They doth, they doth.
It’s the election AI data scrapers, services and Big Tech warlords going to be put to work
leaks. whistle blower new pathways
I think that Alito may be trying to discover and or exposing the administration/doj’s strategy in presenting to the court to the public.
I agree; Alito is playing “their” game and about to call them out.
Hmmmm, we’ll see about that. Here’s hoping you’re right.
Some here may find it interesting that many folks up here ( British Columbia) see that “ the wheels are falling off” the political B.S. wagon.
The President Trump witch-hunt, the Biden crime syndicate, the “war”laundering scheme in Ukraine, real inflation, an obviously incoherent fake President Biden, the Paxton “ railroad job” the De Scumtus farce.
Maybe most especially is the attack on free speech…geesh!
Tucker, Rogan, etc are watched by tens of millions daily.
Add to that foreigners, Russell Brand, Neil Oliver and Nigel Farage.
The audience is in the 100’s of millions weekly.
Let us get serious here…few genuine independents, or semi sane individuals are buying the utter sh*t that is being peddled.
In a perverse way should Paxton be impeached it may have a positive impact as the proverbial sh*t will hit the fan, and a four and a half million Texas voters will be seriously angered.
Cheers!
Many see it here too but you won’t hear about it through the media.
Talk on the street has been increasing in my neck of the woods and it is completely different than what you see or hear by the media.
Pretty much with the internet with exception to here on CTH and a few other places.
I do believe that here is the USA as well as globally, more and more people are tuning into “alternate” news sites (vs run of the mill DNC-controlled LSM ).
The “millenials” seem to be the most indoctrinated and most rejecting of news that does not “suit” their ideologies. Let’s hope they decide to not vote in the upcoming primary and general elections. Perhaps we can persuade them to glue themselves to some major roadway or another national museum on Voting Day.
Agree, though I’ve started noticing a few, very few, millennials coming around.
Hopefully, they will influence some of their friends our way.
Revenue and views tell the tale.
For many years, THEY had control of the narrative, they had control of the Institutions and by exploiting the credibility of those Institutions, and control of the narrative they were able to manipulate Public Opinion.
In 2022, Big Tech and MSM each “lost” $1 BILLION in revenue.
Viewership of the Fox R non debate vs Tucker/Trump interview, is just one of many examples affirming they have LOST viewership, and our Alt. Media has gained it, and with it, and by maintaining CREDIBILITY, now has taken that ability to shape public opinion.
Lately, had two different conversations with MAGA “strangers” at the grocery store.
BOTH stated the essence of regitigers expose of what J6 was about.
Neither was familiar with TGP, AT or CTH (I ASKED) and yet THEY volonteered a short “elevator speech” version of regitigers explanation.
THATS IMPACT. And yes, I DID give them info on CTH, TGP etc. (I ALWAYS do!)
Same thing happening around me.
Hell, I got people engaging me instead of the other way around lately.
When I get one like that, I fill them in with as much relevant info as I can candidly and tell them to think about it and share with their like minded friends.
Always comes out good with smiles to each other lately.
Tide is turning!
I have a democrat twin-sister who was encouraged by a very good friend to listen to a daily alt media podcast (cue related) about a month ago and out of the blue last week she calls me and says, “I think all these indictments are going to backfire on the Democrats!”
encouraging ..I resist the urge to take credit. The thing about truth is that eventually people find it. It takes time. It’s like the weak force in nature. You have this long eliptical orbit that seems so far away from gravity…and yet, even in the long reaches of space and time, the body locates itself to the truth. I only mentioned the truth…it would have drawn bodies no matter what or when I stated it. Truth works like this.
There IS something very natural, spiritual even, about the elemental force of truth…you can try to repress it, forget it, dismiss it, avoid it, and even lie about it…but it’s there…always there…every powerful. Humans respond to truth in the same way that anything of mass is attracted to HIGHER MASS. It’s quite illuminating when you consider it…everywhere you look, and mostly in places you don’t, there is truth..powerful, forceful, unstoppable gravity. Human beings may not be perfect, but we are created in a fashion by the HAND OF GOD.
emet
אֱמֶת
it only seems inexplicable and daunting to those who are afraid…soiled and disturbed by corruption….to these people, truth is kyptonite…a sore…bothersome and terrifying.
to those who believe and have faith in the perfect aspect of GOD…truth is refreshing, exhilarating, hopeful and joyous.
this is how I feel about it. I do not understand it….I cannot understand it..but this is how I imagine it…depend on it. Not some voodoo mysticism..but a natural and very important part of why the reality makes sense and it dependable. Truth attracts all. Nothing is left untouched.
When I pray, I am specific. give me truth…the work you see was only telling the truth…I had to remove self from the equation to gain an honest respect for what I was allowed to find. My prayers were answered. It was not the answer I was looking for..but it was truth. and there is something very satisfying in the journey. Sharing it was an act of duty. nothing more.
and to note, as I have stated before, this is just a small part of what is so much a larger truth…my “work” is incomplete and unfinished. I was unafraid to admit this is also a truth…that there is a bigger story to tell…and more work to be done. I guess that is really what this life means to me. The unending timeless purpose to seek the truth.
God Bless America
God Bless America
True,
IMO many give the MSM too much power.
It’s kind of like attempting to have a rational conversation with a borderline psychotic ex. Or family member. ( usually a mother)
Many have found that indifference is the best weapon/or defence if you like.
Cheers!
Texans are already seriously angered by the Paxton impeachment. I wrote my state representative and state senator both for the very first time on Monday. If Paxton were to be removed from office despite the state senate knowing full well that it would be extremely unpopular decision . . . I don’t really want to think about it, but I think it would be more demoralizing than angering, because we would effectively be on notice that the Bush junta cannot be stopped by public opinion or other normal political means or processes.
As the saying goes be careful what you wish for or, in this case , what you appeal for . Hopefully , it is a case of “more rope” . Unfortunately , though , the Gov’t can always count on 3 sure votes -with them it is : “ The answer is Yes / What was the question? “ ..
The 3 votes did them NO GOOD, on repealing “abortion is a right” or “Affirmative Action”, two MAINSTAYS of the enemy, for 60+ years, or restricting Religious freedom.
And wasn’t it Alito who was uncharacteristically harsh, in criticising that dingbat Justice who can’t define a woman?
Govt.,…prepare to be spanked, in public with your pants around your ankles!
Just saying that is the field of play – always an automatic 3 votes for Gov’t No matter what the issue -Then you go on from there counting the rest of the votes –
Prelogar, a Mueller/Weissman alum.
Everyone’s got their price, so we shall see.
Hoping and praying for a clear and decisive smack down of the Administration State…BUT, I also have to admit to a slight amount of trepidation. We have put so much hope in SCOTUS and have been bitterly disappointed in the past. I trust Alito more than anyone else on the court other than, of course, Clarence Thomas, but I’m still not going to count my chickens until they have well and truly hatched!
So, forgive my ignorance here, but what is meant/implied by “Alito’s order… said the states should respond by Sept. 20″?
(I don’t recall “the states” ever being asked to weigh in on a Supreme Court issue.)
The Supreme Court receives briefs with pros and cons on them. State DAs can participate I am guessing. What the Supreme Court should not accept is briefs from politicians.
Missouri is one of the plaintiffs. Can’t remember the other.
Loisianna A.G. Landry as well as Missouris AG (Now Senator) Joined this suit, originally brought by several citisens, including Jim Hoft, of TGP.
I believe it is protocol to allow a period for questions, concerns and rebuttals to the (whatever) issue at hand. Always. Except in the cases of FJB’s insane “executive orders.”
NOET-Ret: Lawyers being lawyers, doing more lawyering, rather than making a decision.
Prelogar wrote. “The court imposed unprecedented limits on the ability of the President’s closest aides to use the bully pulpit to address matters of public concern, on the FBI’s ability to address threats to the Nation’s security, and on the CDC’s ability to relay public health information at platforms’ request.”
That’s rich. The CDC is concerned with the pharma industry’s health, not the publics, thus the rise of critics. The FBI participates in “threats to the Nation’s security,” and the WH regularly cranks out mis, dis, and mal information that public discourse, as opposed to the clapping seal media, counters. The WH’s complaint is that its critics have valid points and so long as the the public can get a broad base of opinion, they’ll come to the wrong conclusions: So they feed us tripe like Hunter’s only crime is a gun ownership violation, and while their two impeachments of Trump were evidence based on mis, dis and mal information from the Clinton campaign, the DNC, FBI and DoOj, impeachment of Bribem would be unfair, a political stunt and not based on evidence. TLDR: Sit down, shut up and obey.
It is hierarchy not hypocrisy. “We are in charge and you’re not”.
You thought Fanny Willis was a pain in the ass…
Election Fraud has many consequences
That wasn’t KBJ who originally said that. It was one of the 2015 – 2016 FBI “Russian Collusion” goons. Maybe Peter Strzok, maybe his lover Lisa Page, maybe Susan Rice? I don’t remember which one, but I am sure it was “out there” way before our newest SCOTUS member (who cannot define a woman), KBJ.
My memory was lover Lisa Page.
Pretty sure this was intended as a funny though;-)
Im pretty sure shes telling Obama everything too
Imagine a wild fire, it demands control before it gets out of hand, offering only dubious realities. Now take that picture of a wildfire and think of your cellphone. How many cellphones are operating in the United States? Millions, right?
Ok, instead of flames, think of a picture or a stream of words as flames which you transfer to your friends…see how fast they get the picture or texts? Really fast, faster than a…wait for it, wild fire, even a speeding bullet!
Is it any wonder why a government would want to control that? To get ahead of a picture/text wildfire? You’re not sure…ok, think of those “flash mobs” who all of a sudden show up at a store to loot it…same thing as a wildfire only the object is theft, with the communication tool to assemble the simple cellphone.
Last, but not least…does the Master wish to control the slaves? Now you get the picture…control of information and potential responses…got to be careful for the informed might revolt! “On a need to know basis”is a line most have heard in life. Control at work.
Mommy and Daddy know best, only now those two have become the government demanding to control you as best they can, in every way they can…censorship is working, cognitive dissonance is operable…you will love your governing by others and follow their every command, willingly…slaves!
Come November we will see how many slaves are in the United States, willingly…but before count those wearing face masks for an indicator of compliance. The hysterical will lead this parade. Trans people up front!
It was after all a Rockefeller who wished the internet had never been invented but now that it was here, we’d have to treat it as the #1 threat to national security
Basically Jay was saying that if he could go back in time he would have killed the Internet in the cradle.
Excellent!!!
These black robed monks better take their extended respites now becuase the next 2-4 years, and if there’s anything left, it’s going to be asses and elbows on that docket up in their disgusting city on the Potomac. Trump convictions and appeals not withstanding multiple interlocutory appeals from now some 35 defendants between the Acela corridor marxist bench in addition to the lipstick lesbian Nessel’s equally lawless persection of 16 elderly Patriots in Michigan. If one of these monks drop dead in the interim it’s over especially as Gorsuck, cryin’ Kavanaugh, and Barrett have been virtually complete BUSTS. I’ll leave this simp Robert’s to the rest of you. And as for all these alleged Ditch McConnell “appointments”… LOOK AROUND. Work for you does it?
Don’t sleep with any pillows Mr Alito
No hunting trips in Texas, either!
No baseball games in DC either…..
I think the communists pushed Alito too far.
Payback time?
Let’s hope so.
Aside from Thomas and Alito, the SCOTUS is dead to us.
Sundance, you were right on the money with your prediction that the 5th Circuit Court was goading the administration to appeal its decision to the Supreme Court.
Great point
Just Say No Now!
Why doesn’t the SC step in and stop the bastardization of our Judicial system. By not doing so, they are making themselves irrelevant.
The Supreme court can;t just stick its nose in things. it can only rule
on cases brought before it.. Even if they agree something is wrong they
can;t do anything unless someone brings a case to them.
Over the years many piles of BS have been fed to the people by way of propaganda they don’t know that is legal or being use on them. All that truth coming out at once, we will need a lot of sawdust to clean up the puke it is sickening. Censoring to cover up, the tree of liberty is in need of watering.
Sawdust also useful in soaking up other bodily fluids, which are about to be in need of soaking up.
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.
If the court chooses to ignore the document that creates it’s existence, Then it will cease to exist.
Well there’s no weasel wording around this decision that even John Roberts could manage. Americans have been pushed too far. The court could easily render itself perfunctory.
Well they can’t “justify” anything when telling the truth
Alito is Catholic.
Praying Alito is a Vigano.
#LogosRising
This good conservative Lutheran believes Alito is a Vigano, or vice versa, and I treasure them both.
By Monday noon Fake News will be pushing all conservative Judges to recuse themselves.
Anything that the Biden Administration is for, I am against. I don’t need to collect any data to support any decisions. I am confident in that simple decision rule, and it saves me from having to read through BS arguments.
Brilliant move, the twisting into ‘pretzel logic’ should be something to see.
I think that this is a classic case of Alito giving the Dems the rope to hang themselves with 🙂
Hah, they took the bait!
Maybe this will finally put silence to those who keep bemoaning how the Courts are a lost cause?
Nah, woebegones gotta woebegone,..
We’ll see. Hope springs eternal.
“The court imposed unprecedented limits on the ability of the President’s closest aides to use the bully pulpit”
Flat out nonsense. Depriving others of speech is not a “bully pulpit”, it tyrannical.
How could the US Supreme Court support state-sponsored censorship of public issues in public media???
Alito and Thomas will have their metal tested in the next few years. The deep-state and their partners in the media and the democrat party have already set the table for a Trump-like Russian Collusion set-up and impeachment (or worse, felony charges). If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to anyone.
Thomas I have no concerns about. He’s already proven his steel. Alito has shown flashes of metal, but he might not want the hassle…..
The government wants censorship back so they can start the next hoax and bring on the great reset.
Biden was prepaid and China wants results. They want to destroy us.
This writer has the answer, Unsubscribe from Everything!
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/were-all-terrorists-now
The “nothing to hide” argument, which, as Edward Snowden points out, was likely the brainchild of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.
Americansreallytookto it back in 2013, when Snowden revealed the government’s mass spying programs. Unless their private photos were being looked at, nobody cared.
Fast forward 10 years, and Americans seem to have adopted the same basic attitude toward the revelation that the government is spying on millions of social media accounts.
So what if the government is spying on us—how else could it protect us from Russia and domestic extremists? Defenders of the new censorship regime focused on the politics of those censored, arguing over the finer points of what counts as a legitimate extremist threat.
But they’ve missed the point: The government is reading our tweets, and monitoring our activity online, regardless of our individual political persuasions.
As a former military intelligence contractor told me: The real name of the game is data fusion.
The government wants to collect tens of millions of tweets and cross-reference them with geolocations and credit scores, not so that it can protect Americans from Islamic terrorism or domestic extremism, but in order to exercise power.
Soooo . . . Biden admin tells SCROTUM to censor free speech. SCROTUM says, “Go ahead and try that” and rules they can’t. Then Biden admin says, “Screw you” and does it anyway.
How is this a win for us?
No immunity and civil liability for any government official who does it, but more importantly, exposure.
Exposure. Exposure. Exposure.
How many Americans are really aware of the use of their tax dollars to build the censorship industrial complex?
Only those paying very close attention.
This will help change that circumstance.
What could the argument in favor of government control possibly be? I’d like to hear it. Is Alito just giving these idiots rope to hang themselves in front of the entire world?
moved
In their pleadings, the defendants in the case (basically, the Fed Govt.) have tried to present their arguments, and you CAN read them.
They come across as grasping, the way the loser in an argument generally does.
Bear in mind WHAT is being consideted for a SCOTUS hearing.
The plaintiffs filed suit, against the Biden admin, alleging Fed. Gov. agency actions which amounted to Censorship by proxie, directing Big Tech to censor stories on Covid/jab, Hunters laptop and 2020 Steal.
In the PRELIMINARY phase, when plaintiffs were only presenting enough evidence to convince the Judge to grant them a trial, they presented enough compelling evidence that the Judge granted them a preliminary order, telling the Fed. Gov. agencies to stop such behaviors, PENDING a trial.
The Govt. appealed that ruling to 5th circuit, which affirmed the Judges ruling, and now SCOTUS is being asked to weigh in.
The Original trial is STILL progressing, with DISCOVERY which enables plaintiffs to search thru memos, emails, etc. both of Gov. officials and Big Tech,..think of “the Twitter files” but without any damage control.
Point is, this is STILL very early days, but already this case has got “to the heart of the matter”, and our side has won major battles, twice.
This IS “a BIG F*cking DEAL!”
Quick,… cue the new UFO buzz to deflect from the Mumbling, Stumbling, Bumbling Biden/Admin’s exposed current scams and failures.
That, or maybe their newest Blk Ops plan to terrorize and traumatize We The People Voters,… to keep their Narratives alive.
Hey, you can smell’em now, and their Fear makes them dangerously desperate.
The exec branch gets tons of latitude by arguing national security. The domestic terrorists are the biggest threat in the history of the known universe seems to me to be the route in arguing security needs.
There goes the second to last conservative.
So y’all thinking this is a slam dunk for the rule of law and sanity?
🍿🍿🍺
“Bully.” What an appropriate choice of words…
SCOTUS will rule 9-0 against the regime.
Not Jackson, I think. This will be very interesting.
It would be nice if they hear the matter while letting the Order go into effect. Nothing like a well written Order from the Supreme Court to make a challenge highly unlikely in our lifetimes.
