U.S. Supreme Court rules Obiden administration cannot be sued for censorship
[Gateway] In a stunning 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden Administration’s policy of deleting, suppressing, and deplatforming specific people, topics, and ideas is immune from suit, leaving no one able to challenge it in court.

The ruling, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, came down with the following key decision: "Neither the individual nor the state plaintiffs have established Article III standing to seek an injunction against any defendant."

In sum, the court rules that the two different types of parties, states, and individuals harmed by these government policies, do not have ’standing’ to sue. This case procedurally related to the request for a preliminary injunction for the government to stop the censorship regime while the case was going on.

This decision will make the trial court action in this case more difficult but, insiders say, not impossible. "It’s a horrible decision, but the underlying case at the lower court marches forward. The Gateway Pundit is dedicated to fighting the government for the free speech rights of everyone, we are committed to ultimate victory," said John Burns, General Counsel for the Gateway Pundit.

#1 So who and how does one get 'standing' when the government conspires to suppress the 1st Amendment? Notice they left that out.

#2 I don't know how there could be a stronger case but we will see.

If Congress and President are Republican, a law could be passed.

But then if a Dem came later they could just ignore the law.

Pretty depressing.

#4 Procop, the simple (simplistic?) answer is the one that goes something like...

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

If the legal protections of the Constitution are inadequate, the fall back is the Declaration of Independence
