Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court Ruling Explained

what's at issue with with this Supreme Court case is whether or not it's legal to have this censorship laundering apparatus and what the Biden Administration is arguing is that the First Amendment did not anticipate social media and that and that the First Amendment as it's classically interpreted is no can no longer hold they're essentially making the argument they make with the second amendment that yes um the Second Amendment may have anticipated muskets um but it didn't anticipate you know these high powerered rifles type things and so there so the Second Amendment doesn't really apply to you know to these high-powered you know automatic weapons they're making that argument about social media that um that this that the social media has overwhelmed the First Amendment and the government needs to be able to essentially have a control mechanism over the spread of misinformation online and you know the issue is is if they are if they succeed in that argument the first amendment is legitimately dead in this country there if there is not a constitutional check on this power you will never have a a a a free election in this country again so basically Biden or Murthy they're claiming that it would be just absolute Anarchy we'll have a situation where there'll be just fake news disinformation people just run around believing in things that are you know bad and dangerous what does Missouri claim and why is it why is it Missouri well CU it was the State Attorney General's office of Missouri in Louisiana it was essentially an alliance of two State Attorney General's offices arguing against the federal censorship structure of the you know of the federal governance so this is essentially a you know a federalism issue this is this these are state attorney generals who who you know essentially you know brought this suit and you know there's a a number of plaintiffs who are involved in this the case initially started around covid censorship and the and the White House um censorship of of covid-19 and then uh basically all everything that that was unveiled both from from my work through the foundation for freedom online and through things like the Twitter files the much larger superstructure of this whole of society apparatus you know turned up and the case expanded from being simply about Federal censorship of covid to being about Federal censorship of of every sensitive policy issue because once they got away with it for the 2020 election in covid they expanded this to climate they expanded this to abortion they expanded this to immigration they expanded this to to Ukraine any dissident voice on any sensitive cultur uh uh policy issue it was deemed to be a an attack on critical infrastructure if you expressed misinformation online about it when you say they is it Democrats Republicans it is the Empire rather than the Homeland it is the people's whose jobs are in the managerial class of our international relations rather than those whose are the the the domestic priorities of people of the Homeland so this is a much bigger issue than Democrats versus Republicans
