Jim Jordan Rips Ketanji Brown Jackson's Concern about the First Amendment: "Hamstringing the Government"

Jim_Jordan: "She said you've got the First Amendment 'hamstringing the government.' Well, that's what it's supposed to do, for goodness sake. It was literally one of the craziest things I've ever seen that you could have a Supreme Court Justice say that in the oral argument made no sense to me. That is frightening. because if she really believes that, that is scary where we are heading. Understand what took place here. This was censorship by surrogate. This was big government telling big tech to take down speech that they disagreed with, and it was the most fundamental kind of speech. It was political speech."

RepDanBishop: "Do we want to have a situation in which the government, the FBI, and other agencies are constantly trying to walk a line? How far can they go to keep perfectly legal, protected speech off of public platforms? I just don't think the government ever has a valid interest in doing that."

Jim_Jordan: "They [federal government] were pressuring and going after speech that was true, that turned out to be accurate, and yet they were trying to take it down... The White House sends an email to Twitter saying take down this tweet ASAP. And guess what the tweet was. RFK Jr. saying Hank Aaron took the vaccine and passed away. Two true statements. They wanted to take him down, and by the way, who was that individual? The guy running against them in the primary election. That is as scary as it gets. Let's hope the court reaches the right decision."

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is concerned that the First Amendment is "hamstringing the government."
