Justice Jackson:

“I understood our First Amendment jurisprudence to require heightened scrutiny of government restrictions of speech, but not necessarily a total prohibition when you’re talking about a compelling interest of the government to ensure, for example, that the public has accurate information in the context of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.”

So it seems as if limiting scientific debate to align with government propaganda is permissible using this logic.

If she were a scientist we would still be living in the stone age.

They use the same logic vis a vis the 2nd amendment to say that most if not all firearms should be banned. So it’s not surprising that they would also try for speech, including “disinformation “ and “hate” speech.

Just like Jackson doesn’t know what a woman is, she also doesn’t know what the constitution is.

She’s a well-trained idiot and she’s doing exactly what she was selected to do.

Maybe someone should explain the Bill of Rights to The Biden's minority hire.

Next thing you know, Kentanji Brown Jackson will be acting out in court like Fani Willis.

The sole purpose of the Constitution is to limit the actions of the Government, not the people.............................

“Hamstringing” is violent rhetoric!
It refers to the action of a competitor cutting the hamstring muscle of other competitors in order to win.

Knife, blood, pain, violence.
The legacy media should get all over this.

They need to present it as government is limiting the free speech of black, females, then she would be on board with stopping it. Identity is everything to these people.

If the SCOTUS members do any kind of deliberations amongst each other, I hope that senior Justice Clarence Thomas SCHOOLS THAT MARXIST (almost cussed right here)!

“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government..”


Justice Brown seems to have a deep misunderstanding of what the Bill of Rights is all about. The Bill of Rights was deliberately added to ‘hamstring’ the government. It was the price demanded to ratify the Constitution itself.

"Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson is no fan of the First Amendment. The Constitution, you see, limits the government."

I have never found a Democrat to read and study that. Every Democrat I know, sounds like a Republican but RIGIDLY VOTES "against the man."

Unless I’m calling for violence or causing panic leading to *immediate* and *local* risk of death...then f*ck off. I will not give an inch.

It’s limiting the power of government exactly as it is supposed to. Government is not THE source of truth, even during a pandemic...this one was a great example. They didn’t just get things wrong - there was corruption in the institutions, deliberately infringing on freedoms without any ‘truth’ whatsoever.

WTF?! She needs to be impeached immediately.

What part of “ 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.”

The ONLY reason the FCC was allowed to regulate speech was because the government controlled and licensed the radio spectrum. There is no law that gives the government the right to demand speech be removed or other speech be promoted. They can buy and place content all they want but under the same rules WE have.

Free speech is on trial at the Supreme Court, but Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson is no fan of the First Amendment. The Constitution, you see, limits the government. But leftists want unlimited government — which is why they hate the Constitution.

*****************

When you have a Supreme Court Justice with the first name: “Kentanji” you know your “law system” is a joke.

Kentanji, Fani, Letitia.......Hmmm.....I’m sensing a pattern.... Nah, must be my imagination.(sarcasm)

Jackson expressed skepticism at reigning in the federal government’s

At least the Federalist didn't say "raining in".

“...encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information,...”

And therein lies the rub. She’s suggesting that the “government” is and should be the sole arbiter of what be deemed “harmful information” rather than it’s citizens.

That my friends is the bedrock of a communist autocracy.
