By SRH,
The Supreme Court heard arguments today on whether the Biden administration violated the First Amendment by pressing social media companies to remove posts about COVID-19 and the 2020 election that authorities deemed false.
The court sounded skeptical of the respondents’ arguments that the White House is barred by the Constitution from recommending to social media companies that they remove material it deemed damaging, even if the proposals themselves did not constitute “coercion.”
Brian Fletcher, Deputy Solicitor General for the United States, claimed that the White House’s discussions with news media and social media businesses about the information promoted on their platforms do not constitute state “coercion,” as barred by the Constitution.
Instead, the government was just using its “bully pulpit” to “persuade” private parties, in this case social media corporations, to do what they are “lawfully allowed to do,” he claimed.
Several justices questioned the administration on what actions fell within and outside the scope of “coercion.” Justice Neil Gorsuch questioned President Joe Biden’s claim that social media corporations were “killing people” with misinformation during the pandemic, and whether this was coercion. Mr. Fletcher maintained that “this was an exhortation, not a threat.”
I Sure the court has never Considered:
The First Amendment;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 vaccine did not stop you from spreading the virus, stop you from getting it, or even protect you because people still got COVID even after the fake vaccine.Yet they stopped anyone who made comments about that or that they were harmed by the vaccine, even though many were and now that is coming out.
The court is reviewing whether the government’s pressure on websites to remove posts about COVID-19 and the 2020 election violated the First Amendment.
The first amendment is really obvious. If the Supreme Court rules incorrectly on this issue, we will know that this country has officially ended.
It took Hitler less than two years to alter the nation.No free speech, no press freedom, no assembly rights, and no guns! Consider the situation carefully.
