Judge in Missouri v Biden ain't buying what the government's shoveling

Ooooh, this is turning out to be such a good show. Before I get into the latest, let’s recap quickly, shall we?

The Missouri v Biden lawsuit sprang from underhanded censorship dealings the Biden administration began with the social media companies almost the second they ascended to the throne.

Literally 3 days after Biden took office, the government’s censorship operation was flying. The White House immediately launched a pressure campaign on social media platforms to suppress supposed “COVID misinformation.” The Surgeon General launched his signature “disinformation” initiative at a Virality Project event at the Stanford Internet Observatory. And, Biden himself publicly pressured platforms on July 16, 2021—one day after his press secretary Jennifer Psaki and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy did the same, as the plaintiffs describe in their filing.

The judge also asked Biden’s lawyers if the First Amendment covered Americans’ right to say that Biden is responsible for high gas prices and inflation.

Their answer?

It depends.

This is a really interesting case to follow. You can read some of the reporting on the case by Tracy Benz at Uncoverdc.com. The judge is not happy with the government agencies' actions and he is making sure they are aware of that fact.

The judge asked the feds if they had ever read George Orwell’s 1984, pointing out the similarities between the case and the book.

The Court asked the feds if all the emails between them and social media companies were real because “it seems like there’s a lot here.” The feds were forced to admit the tens of thousands of pages of evidence are genuine.

Would probably be a bad time to be dating one of the judge’s daughters. (Based on the Georgia precedent).

Recall how quickly that investigation disappeared. Especially after the primary investigating officer committed suicide.
