Where Stands the Ministry of Truth? ⋆ Brownstone A recent federal court ruling has many people questioning whether the First Amendment, and its protection of our bedrock freedom of speech, has been extinguished in our country. I want to help clarify the status of this epic, high-profile case that is currently trending in the media… Missouri v. Biden, which I mentioned briefly in my Substack last week. As you likely know, this case was brought last year by the state attorneys general in Missouri and Louisiana together with some private individuals (a couple of whom are colleagues of mine, and one of which – Dr. Aaron Kheriaty – joins me as a Fellow at Brownstone Institute), challenging the Biden Administration’s blatant obstruction of our First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The plaintiffs argue that the federal government colluded with Big Tech companies such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., during the pandemic to silence those who were questioning the government agenda, their protocols, their data, and so on with regards to the pandemic. Of course, the government argues they were working with the social media giants to moderate content in order to stop “misinformation,” whatever that is. You know, to keep you safe. And healthy. But a federal judge in Louisiana, Terry A. Doughty, wasn’t having it. So when the plaintiffs requested that the court issue a preliminary injunction to stop the federal government’s illegal collusion with the social media companies, Judge Doughty granted the motion! Let me provide a bit more color, and explain where the case stands now.Institute
