Judge’s Twitter Account? Bombs Away.

Aside from that, this ruling makes as much sense as saying the individual mandate is a tax.

Then nobody else can block people on their twitter account.
What a ridiculous ruling.

I don't have a problems with twitter.
I can choose who to have contact with and who I avoid; all my choice.

No Twitter whatsoever...

I don’t think the judge has thought thus through because now I go to his court and sue Twitter over there shadow banning people....love to see the mental gymnastics the judge uses to say twitter can shadow ban people.

If its a designated public forum how can twitter block and harass conservatives?

No one can read the responses to Trumps tweets anyway - thousands of vile smarmy idiots.

President Donald Trump cannot block users on his Twitter feed

Why then does Twitter have a BLOCK feature?

Does this ruling mean Twitter must remove the BLOCK feature?

Does this mean he can’t block people from posting incredibly rude and obnoxious responses? It would be fine if anyone can read it - it is a public forum. I sure would want to be able to block who can respond.

Note also that the Left interprets the other aspect of the First Amendment as "Freedom FROM religion" -- they have the right to never come into contact with any icky evidence of Christianity. No public prayers or mention of Jesus. That's a First Amendment right nowadays."

“Why then does Twitter have a BLOCK feature?”

That will have to be removed. /s

Twitter artificially presents all the negative comments at the top of Trump’s twitter feed anyways. On purpose. Then shadow bans and bans conservatives.

I don’t see how Pres. Trump’s blocking of certain Twitter followers is a violation of Constitution. What specific constitutional clauses did the judge reference (ahem)?

How about when Mary Landrieu unplugged her phone lines during the Obamascam?

She abdicated her responsibilities to represent her constituents!

PLEASE READ!!!

here is the phone number and her website:

http://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/judge/Buchwald
Chambers Phone: (212) 805-0194

I just called three times and got hung up on every time...i told the person who answered we would call the judges phone number and harass her continually and they can do nothing about it as it it free speech...

Just as she is allowing people to harass President Trump on twitter and not allowing him to do anything about it...

Please call...

....so does this mean the 1st Amendment applies to all Twitter users?

If it does, then Twitter is constantly violating the 1st Amendment every time they block/ban someone posting something they don’t like.

So, judge, does this only applies to the President or to all of us? Is it only for Twitter?

How about listening? If someone talks to PDJT, is it illegal to put his fingers in his ears?

Can I turn my radio down if I don't like what people are saying? This sounds so bogus.
