>“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
That is, quite literally, the very point of the Constitutional amendment.DEI on the Supreme Court. Not qualified, not smart. The First amendment is not obtuse, nuanced or complicated. She’s a moron.

'The Most Horrifying Thing I've Ever Heard From A Supreme Court Justice': Ketanji Brown Jackson SLAMMED For Remarks On Government Censorshiphttps://t.co/wWRe18kEcq
— DC Enquirer (@DcEnquirer) March 18, 2024
She is amazingly arguing that when the government thinks something is wrong, it has not just the right but the DUTY to censor.
That is jaw-dropping. It’s not our Constitution or our American tradition.
The government does not have a monopoly on what is correct or not. And on… https://t.co/zfTUJfG478

Ketanji Brown Jackson ‘concerned’ First Amendment is ‘hamstringing’ government from censorship
By: Annabella Rosciglione, Washington Examiner, March 18, 2024:
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson raised concerns that the First Amendment may stand in the way of government censorship in unique times.
In Monday’s oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri, Jackson appeared to be skeptical that the government could not censor social media posts in “the most important time periods.”
“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods,” Jackson said to Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga.

“You seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information,” Jackson said. “So, can you help me? Because I’m really worried about that because you’ve got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances, from the government’s perspective, and you’re saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems.”
Aguiñaga said his view was that the government should intervene in certain situations, but it has to do so by following the First Amendment.
“Our position is not that the government can’t interact with the platforms there. They can and they should in certain circumstances like that, that present such dangerous issues for society and especially young people,” Aguiñaga said in response. “But the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment. And I think that means they can give them all the true information that the platform needs and ask to amplify that.”
Jackson said a “once-in-a-lifetime pandemic” or other emergencies would provide grounds for the government to censor social media posts that are misinformative.
“I’m interested in your view that the context doesn’t change the First Amendment principles,” she said. “I understood our First Amendment jurisprudence to require heightened scrutiny of government restrictions of speech, but not necessarily a total prohibition when you’re talking about a compelling interest of the government to ensure, for example, that the public has accurate information in the context of a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.”

The central problem is: “who” decides “what” is harmful information that the public shouldn’t be trusted with hearing.

It/thing is a Marxist subversive radical and everyone knows it. It/thing was put on the court to turn America upside down.
One more like It/Thing and the country is finished. A Jacobin placed on the Court to enslave us all.
It/Thing is the most radical “judge” to ever sit on the Supreme Court.

So you are somehow, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, and you think the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution “hamstrings” the government from censoring citizen’s speech? That’s the whole point of the First Amendment. You are not qualified for your job. Peter Principle in action. You have failed up. We need to impeach this lowlife.

The purpose for having a bill of rights was to assure that government had no authority to limit those natural rights set aside for citizens. Any formal decision documenting support for government interference would constitute an impeachable offense, a assault upon the Constitution she swore to uphold.

And they media says that we are NOT infiltrated by communists and totalitarians? This is 5th Column infiltration at it’s highest levels. This female commie dog should not be disbarred but hung for treason! Is she so stupid that she thinks she will take our free speech with this BS? Yep, she is! It’s a known FACT that liberals, in general, have lower IQs that conservatives. Brainwashing lowers the IQ of all these morons with delusions of grandure.

Since this “PERSON” cannot identify “what is a woman”, IT should NOT be sitting as a “judge” who is to give an OPINION that a “LAW” agrees WITH Our American Constitution!! ITS JOB is to make sure NO EGREVIOUS “laws” are allowed into Our American Common Law Court System!!
