“We are flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”
So said Jen Psaki, then-White House press secretary, in July 2021. They were words that would return to haunt the Biden administration and its sprawling network of faceless federal thought police.
Over two years later, the highest court in the land has agreed to hear arguments in Missouri v. Biden, the bombshell case brought against the Federal Government and its agencies first triggered when Psaki belled the cat.
The latest news makes it harder to deny that President Joe Biden’s White House violated the First Amendment by pressuring Big Tech platforms to silence content — much of which was factual — that simply proved inconvenient to their Covid-era agenda.
Topics that were muffled by the Biden administration include “the COVID–19 lab leak theory, pandemic lockdowns, vaccine side effects, election fraud, and the Hunter Biden laptop story,” per the original lawsuit.
“The United States Supreme Court has granted cert in Missouri v. Biden — the nation’s highest court will hear the most important free speech case in American history,” Eric Schmitt announced on X (formerly Twitter) last week.
As then-Attorney General of Missouri, Schmitt was one of two AGs to act as plaintiffs in the case on behalf of their states, the other being Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana. Joining them as litigants were five other individuals, mostly medical doctors.
Too plentiful to recount here, the long list of defendants begins with President Biden and his current press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, before taking in a swathe of U.S. federal departments and dozens of officials. --->READ MORE HERE
The Supreme Court said Friday it would hear arguments in a bombshell case in which lower courts have ruled that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by leaning on social media companies to yank content the White House deemed false or misleading.
In July, US District Judge Terry Doughty, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, barred numerous executive branch officials from contacting social media companies due to collusion and censorship concerns.
The Supreme Court has stayed Doughty’s ruling in Missouri v. Biden until the high court decides the case.
Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas favored rejecting the emergency appeal from the Biden administration Friday and letting the lower court order stand.
“This case concerns what two lower courts found to be a ‘coordinated campaign’ by high-level federal officials to suppress the expression of disfavored views on important public issues,” Alito wrote in his dissent opposing the stay.
Doughty’s ruling was affirmed by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in September, though it narrowed the scope of the district judge’s preliminary injunction. A three-judge panel found that the White House, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the FBI “likely coerced or significantly encouraged social-media platforms to moderate content” and in doing so, likely censored free speech.
The appeals court removed officials from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the State Department from the injunction. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
