On Monday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed her worry that the First Amendment was limiting the government’s actions during a crucial time period. She directed her concerns towards Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga, whose state and Missouri filed a lawsuit against the federal government regarding its efforts to control speech on social media platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic, ostensibly for claimed public health purposes.
Her comments have ignited debate about the First Amendment and its use against government overreach. Americans have objected to the White House urging social media companies to censor information, including skepticism regarding vaccines or political discussions about election integrity. However, other Americans believed the government should censor and favor Brown Jackson’s rhetoric.
