ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Even when presented with overwhelming evidence that Team Biden colluded intimately with Big Tech social media companies to censor conservative Americans, the White House doubled down on violating the 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I wrote last week<\/a>, on July 4th<\/sup> a federal judge blocked \u201cfederal agencies from communicating with Big Tech<\/strong><\/a> firms to censor posts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, after a lawsuit against the Biden administration by three Republican state Attorney Generals (AGs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the judge, Terry A. Doughty, the AGs \u201chave produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If the allegations made by plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States history,” Doughty wrote<\/a> in his preliminary injunction against more than 40 administration officials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the federal government, and particularly the defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment\u2019s right to free speech.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note \u2013 \u2018disinformation\u2019 is any information the left and Team Biden don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is serious constitutional stuff. One would think the White House might say, \u201cok, we overstepped a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not Team Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the Orwellian doublespeak, the left always uses to hide the truth, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said: “We are going to continue to promote responsible actions.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added: “That is something that we’re going to continue to do to make sure we protect public health and make sure there is safety and security.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using similar verbiage, the Department of Justice announced later that same day that it would appeal the decision, to protect public health, safety, and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, Team Biden said, we don\u2019t care, we want to keep violating the Constitution and censoring our opponents. And we are going to request an emergency order from the judge to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Daily Caller reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeffrey Landry opposed the Biden administration\u2019s attempt to stop the injunction in a court filing Sunday, writing the administration was essentially asking to \u201ccontinue violating the First Amendment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn essence, Defendants argue that the injunction should be stayed because it might interfere with the Government\u2019s ability to continue working with social-media companies to censor Americans\u2019 core political speech on the basis of viewpoint,\u201d they wrote in the court filing. \u201cIn other words, the Government seeks a stay of the injunction so that it can continue violating the First Amendment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, on Monday the same federal judge blocked Biden again, denying the administration\u2019s attempt to pause the injunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Post reported that<\/a> Judge Doughty noted again that the plaintiffs (the state AGs) would likely succeed in proving the government colluded with social media companies \u201cto engage in viewpoint-based suppression of protected free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to the hysteria surrounding his initial injunction, Doughty also wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Although this Preliminary Injunction involves numerous agencies, it is not as broad as it appears. \u201cIt only prohibits something the Defendants have no legal right to do\u2014contacting social media companies for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner, the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech posted on social-media platforms. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rejecting the administration\u2019s argument that the order could chill law enforcement activity to protect national security, the judge added that It also contains numerous exceptions for communications related to criminal activity, explicit dangers to national security, and foreign election interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, this important battle will continue as the AGs’ lawsuit works its way through the legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
