The "conservative" Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled on a technicality that the White House and other federal agencies can continue to pressure social media companies to censor lawful speech protected by the First Amendment. From CNN, "Supreme Court allows White House to press social media companies to remove disinformation": The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the White House and federal agencies such as the FBI may continue to urge social media platforms to take down content the government views as misinformation, handing the Biden administration a technical if important election-year victory.More conservative cowardice on the part of two Trump-appointed, Federalist Society-approved justices. Justice Samel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Neil Gorsuch, wrote a dissent that dubbed the case "one of the most important free speech cases to reach this Court in years."We've got two bold rulings out of this court -- one on abortion and another on affirmative action -- and then just an endless sea of equivocation. There were plenty of warning signs -- especially during the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett -- but they were ignored for the sake of political expediency and advancing DEI.
