[George from New England]

And the b.s. rolls on, out of OUR White House, occupied by the evil ones.

[alternatives?]

Democracy is defined as electing Democrats, any other outcome is a threat to democracy.

[Reno89519]

Hopefully the judge stands his ground.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Governmenting is hard.

[Tell It Right]

Stolen elections have consequences.

Assuming that the stay remains, how long would it be before a verdict is reached and therefore expire the stay?

Would the stay last through the end of the year or even through the primary and general elections?

[ConservativeMind]

“Defendants respectfully request that the Court stay its July 4 preliminary injunction pending Defendant's appeal of that order,” the government argued. “The Government faces irreparable harm with each day the injunction remains in effect, as the injunction's broad scope and ambiguous terms (including a lack of clarity with respect to what the injunction does not prohibit) may be read to prevent the Government from engaging in a vast range of lawful and responsible conduct—including speaking on matters of public concern and working with social media companies on initiatives to prevent grave harm to the American people and our democratic processes.”

The government does not face irreparable harm. How the the government get by before social media, if so?

These people all need to permanently silenced.

the attorney generals could not show harm from the censorship

Hello? The harm is the invaded right of free speech.

The attorneys filing this frivolous claim ought to be sanctioned and jailed until they refile something that isn't utter legal nonsense.

Moreover their duty is not to the gubmint bureaucracy but to the people of the United States.

[ConservativeInPA]

It’s funny how lawmakers cannot ever find things in government to cut. The idea that government employees have jobs to censor Americans shows the utter waste of tax dollars. Face it the vast majority of lazy ass government employees do absolutely zero to improve our lives. We need to cut government spending until it hurts everyday taxpayers and then cut some more. It’s the only way people will start taking responsibility for their lives.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

“ These immediate and ongoing harms to the Government”

Harm to this fascist government is exactly what America needs. Terminal harm.

[blackdog]

"We don't manipulate social media whatsoever! That is just a right wing extremist talking point!"

Followed by a request for an emergency court order to preserve the operations manipulating social media.

This government really thinks we is stoopid. Unfortunately they are by large, correct.

[Gnome1949]

You cannot defeat tyrants in a court of law.

They have to be defeated by force.

[AndyJackson]

To be clear this was filed with the Judge who issued the injunction, not the Court of Appeals for the 5th circuit.

[Organic Panic]

Think of everything this requests exposes. They are DEMANDING the right to censor speech and control the internet.

[AndyJackson]

defense of “democracy” as trumping American citizens’ constitutionally protected rights.

You could further defend democracy by cancelling the 2024 elections and removing the threat to democracy posed by giving people a choice as to who their elected officals are. [brain going into lockup from the cognative dissonance of writing that sentence].

If the govermedia's language usage were a picture:

[Revel]

So we went from the government saying they don’t do this to them now filing for protection to do it.

How much more corrupt can it get.

[Candor7]

So much news to censor, the Biden Administration doesn’t want any more cats out of the bag for the public to see.

CONTROL that speech Joey B.

While you can.

[Allegra]

In the emergency stay, the government contended that the injunction was vague and that the attorney generals could not show harm from the censorship, an argument that Judge Terry Doughty had rejected multiple times in the past.

Sounds like fear to me.

[FrankRizzo890]

You know, they say they’re fighting mis-information. But yet you can go on social media and find ALL SORTS of posts about the Earth being flat.
