Ketanji Brown Jackson Concerned First Amendment ‘Hamstringing the Government’
Joel B. Pollak 18 Mar 2024
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said Monday that she was concerned that the First Amendment was “hamstringing the government in significant ways, in the most important time periods.”
Jackson addressed Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga, whose state joined Missouri in suing the federal government over its attempts to censor speech on social media platforms during the coronavirus pandemic, ostensibly for public health reasons.
Jackson had earlier presented a hypothetical situation in which social media platforms were allowing a dangerous trend to circulate in which children were encouraged to jump out of windows “at increasing elevations.” She asked whether government authorities could not “encourage social media platforms to take down the information that is instigating this problem.”
Aguiñaga suggested that the government could use the “bully pulpit” to push back against the content of the information, but could not call the social media platforms to encourage them, or coerce them, to take down the information.
Jackson objected, saying that it was not enough to say that the government could post its own speech. There were situations, she suggested, in which the government could “encourage or require this kind of censorship” necessary for public safety.
Conservatives have objected to the White House calling on social media companies to suppress information — such as skepticism about vaccines, or political speech about election integrity.
The case is Murthy v. Missouri, No. 23A243, in the Supreme Court of the United States.

Justice Token proves she can be incredibly stupid. They didn't study the Constitution at her so-called law school.

This is the woke mind. 'Buh buh buh reasons! situations! public safety!' Moral justifications of vague smoke that trump clearly written language.

If someone jumps out a window because of something he or she saw on social media, isn't that Natural Selection at work?

She's such a a freaking idiot.

Well, she couldn’t define when a woman is during her confirmation hearing so this opinion coming from her is to be expected

Well I guess that depends on how you define growing into her robed, I'm sure she will expand to fill it one way if not the other :whistle:

EVERY one of the first 10 Amendments to the US Constitution in some way forbids, limits, or restricts Federal government potential actions. Brown wants to be a tyrant.

As do the prohibitions on ex post facto laws and bills of attainder in the original text of the Constitution, as does the separation of powers, and the enumeration of powers granted to the Federal government... having a hamstrung, but still functional, government was the genius of the American Founding.
