Outspoken-Token Judge Ketanji Parrots Her White Liberal Masters: The 1st Amendment is "Hamstringing" the Government from Restricting Certain Viewpoints and Content it Wishes to Eliminate

From [HERE] Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asked Lousiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga during oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden) when the federal government should be allowed to "compel or encourage" social media platforms to censor speech that is "threatening... from the government's perspective."

"My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways," Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said. "Some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty can not manifest itself in encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information."

"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," she said. 


"Our position is not that the government can't interact with the platforms," Aguiñaga explained. "But the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment."

Journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out on Twitter that "hamstringing the government" in its ability to censor speech is "quite literally the entire point of the First Amendment and Bill of Rights." [MORE]
