Joe Biden: Stomping On The Constitution. Again.

What do you say we end the week with the most important court ruling of 2023, perhaps of the decade.

No, I’m not talking about the excellent Supreme Court decisions in June that struck down affirmative action, cancelled Joe Biden’s illegal student loan “forgiveness” and upheld religious freedom.

I’m talking about the 4th of July ruling from a Louisiana federal judge that blocked the Biden administration’s sneaky back door attempts to stomp on the First Amendment’s protection of free speech. Biden did this by urging social media companies to censor opinions that questioned or contradicted the White House party line.

Most of you don’t need a reminder of what the First Amendment is about, but a sizable number of Americans do. Those in need of a tutorial were educated in schools where teachers were too busy slandering the Founding Fathers as a bunch of white supremacists to teach kids about the brilliant principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

Put simply, the Constitution restricts the government’s ability to interfere with individual rights.

Here are the words that James Madison fought to include in that founding document:

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.

Do you see a virus exception there? Neither do I.

Biden administration officials knew they couldn't directly censor Americans who questioned the legality of the government’s sweeping unconstitutional actions during the pandemic and the misinformation government factotums spread daily.

Instead, they encouraged social media companies to do their dirty work.

What we now know was that private companies - unencumbered by the Constitution - were merely doing the bidding of the Biden administration when they deplatformed hundreds of commentators who questioned the singular opinions emanating from the CDC, FDA and the White House.

One of the first victims of this proxy war on speech by the Biden administration was former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson who questioned the legality of the lockdowns, the efficacy of masks to the safety of the hastily developed and sloppily approved mRNA vaccines.

Others joined him on the list of social media pariahs.

It wasn’t until Elon Musk purchased Twitter that we learned how extensively Biden’s henchmen meddled and that we had ironclad confirmation.

Shoot, at one point Joe Biden planned to appoint a czar to ferret out misinformation. By the way, misinformation was anything that questioned the Biden regime’s position on the virus and later on the fairness of the 2020 presidential election.

This behavior was appallingly un-American. It cost lives, livelihoods and reputations. These maniacal attempts to muzzle anyone who questioned government were a shocking step toward fascism. 

It wasn’t just those on the right who were booted from social media. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has questioned the safety of all vaccines for years, was also a victim of this assault on the first amendment.

On Wednesday, in what’s been characterized as a “brilliant” 155-page opinion, Judge Terry Doughty issued an emergency injunction that ordered the government to cease communicating with big tech companies. Except in matters of national security or criminal threats.

Fox News reports that there are specific individuals named in the court papers:

The injunction issued Tuesday by Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty ruled that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment as it pressured social media companies to censor speech it deemed misinformation on topics such as the COVID-19 vaccine and election integrity.

Officials named in the injunction include White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

This week Biden’s mouthpieces doubled down on pressuring tech companies to censor what they call “misinformation superspreaders.”

Fox News again:

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Wednesday that the administration “certainly disagree with this decision” and will “continue to promote responsible actions to protect public health, safety, and security when confronted by challenges like a deadly pandemic and foreign attacks on our election.”

“Our view remains that social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take action or to take account of the effects of their platforms are having to the American people but make independent choices about the information they present.  They are a private, as you know, entity, and it is their responsibility to — you know, to act accordingly.  And so, we’re going to continue to be responsible in that way,” she added, noting that the DOJ was in the process of reviewing the injunction. 

What’s even more shocking are corporate media companies shamelessly supporting Biden’s efforts to censor Americans.

Get a load of this, from Thursday’s New York Times:

The case “is being overseen by Judge Terry A. Doughty, who was appointed by President Donald J. Trump and has previously expressed little skepticism about debunked claims from vaccine skeptics. In one previous case, Judge Doughty accepted as fact the claim that “Covid-19 vaccines do not prevent transmission of the disease.”

Debunked, my derriere.

What are they smoking at the Times? It is a FACT that the vaccines don’t prevent transmission. Everyone knows that. 

By July of 2021 even Anthony Fauci admitted that vaccinated people with what they were laughably calling “breakthrough” infections - implying they were rare - could spread the disease.

The Biden administration’s vigorous efforts to silence opponents are so odious that they ought to result in impeachment of the president and stooges in his administration.
