Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was ridiculed on Monday after voicing her concerns that the First Amendment could limit the federal government.

I am surprised this made it to SCOTUS. When the government is demanding it, it becomes a 1st amendment issue. Meta is acting as an agent of the government. This should have never happened.

      You’re talking about the content of what the government is asking. I’m asking about the act of asking itself, as was Justice Jackson

      Yes. The act of asking is itself the problem. Justices should not be asking questions of whether or not we should discard the constitution just because it makes her political masters have a hard time enacting their garbage.

          We’ll start at the beginning: So, there are absolutely no circumstances when the government can do anything to promote the public’s interest in health and safety through factual information? None at all? Zero?

          As I said, the government is free to push its own narrative through its own channels. If some government organization wants to spend their time spamming tweets, they’re free to do so. They can use their own websites, call for press conferences, that type of stuff.

      I didn’t believe anything. The science shows they don’t work. They isn’t a belief. That’s a fact. Studies before the pandemic showed that to be true, studies during the pandemic showed that to be true and studies after the pandemic came to the same conclusion.

      Fauci even admitted he knew he was lying.

      I get you people like 1984 but we don’t need to make it how we run our country.
