“HUMOR POLICE:” Gavin Newsom’s Censorship Laws Ruled “UNCONSTITUTIONAL”

Gavin Newsom destroyed the richest state in the country, shredded it, and then criminalized free speech so no one could speak of it. And this greasy carny barker is the best the Democrats have for a Presidential run.

A Victory for Speech, A Defeat for Newsom: Court Finds Two California Laws Unconstitutional

A federal district court ruled Friday that two California laws that censor online political speech are unconstitutional…. The two laws challenged in the lawsuits are AB 2839, which targets and punishes speakers for engaging in certain political commentary, including posting satirical memes and parodies of politicians, and AB 2655, which requires large online platforms to act as the government’s censor and remove certain political commentary from their sites.

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California found both laws to be unconstitutional. “Making fun of politicians and criticizing the government is a core First Amendment right. That includes using new technology to create parody campaign ads or satirical memes,” said ADF Senior Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse, who argued before the court…. “Our job is hard enough when our jokes keep coming true, as if they were prophecies,” said The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. “But it becomes significantly more difficult when self-serving politicians abuse their power to try to control public discourse and clamp down on comedy. We’re pleased the court recognized the First Amendment secures our right to tell jokes, even ones the government doesn’t like” (ADF).
