Supreme Court May Decide First Amendment is Null and Void—Yet Another Example of Left-Headedness Wrongfully “Solving” a Problem

Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson put her stupidity on full display by saying the quiet part out loud.

This from frontpagemag.com.

The Justice said:

[M]y biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.

However, Dear Justice KBJ, as written in the Preamble to the Bill of Rights, which btw is made up of the first ten amendments to the constitution:

The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

Is this not saying the function of the Bill of Rights is “hamstringing the government?” Or as stated: “…to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers.”

Then, to make matters worse:

Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh appear to be leaning on the idea that the government has a right to tell companies to censor particular individuals for political reasons, as long as the government doesn’t do anything more than say it, without making further blatant threats to the company.

Yes, Jackson is terrible, “but consider the obnoxiousness of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Justice Elena Kagan, and Chief Justice John Roberts” snickering together about the idea of government censorship.

While acknowledging that some of the government messages to the platforms referring to them as partners were probably not common in dealings with traditional media, Justice Kavanaugh said:

I had assumed, thought, experienced—government press people throughout the federal government who regularly call up the media and berate them.

Then Kagan said as Kavanaugh and others in the courtroom chuckled:

Like Justice Kavanaugh, I have had some experience encouraging press to suppress their own speech.

This happens literally thousands of times a day in the federal government.

Chief Justice Roberts chimed in, also prompting laughter:

I have no experience coercing anybody.

Hilarious bantering, no doubt, for fun times. But these are not fun times for We the People. You clowns need to get your shit together and do your part to help save our once-great nation.

Certainly, Jackson’s claims about the First Amendment did not sit well with constitutional scholars, including Republican Senator Eric Schmitt. Schmitt brought the case against The Obiden Regime when he served as Missouri’s attorney general.

He said:

Sort of the point.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) stated:

The whole point of the First Amendment

—and of the Constitution—is to ‘hamstring

the government in significant ways.’

From Laura Powell:

Listen to Justice Jackson expressing concern that the First Amendment may be used to restrict the government’s power. No one with even an elementary understanding of constitutional law principles should say something like this.

And from End Wokeness:

This is the most horrifying thing I’ve ever heard from a Supreme Court Justice. Ketanji Brown-Jackson is concerned that the First Amendment is making it harder for the government to censor speech. That’s literally the entire point.

While Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson may have said the quiet part out loud, several, even the ‘conservative’ justices, seemed to agree with her that “it would be dangerous not to let the government tell social media monopolies to take down certain political views and that the First Amendment should not get in the way of government censorship.”

And with this said, the First Amendment will effectively be made null and void. How many decades of brilliant thinking will be required to correct such a travesty by this Court? And will our beloved country last that long?

Final thoughts: This seems to be another instance of the Left solving a problem incorrectly and invariably creating new more profound problems.

Censorship of the truth will not stop the reporting of “fake news” or misinformation. Censorship alone will not stop the indoctrination of our children. Censorship will not prevent governmental abuse of power.

Perhaps, instead of addressing censorship, reform the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948) to address the current propaganda machine that national media has become.

Truth in print and truth in speech should be paramount, with severe financial and perhaps criminal consequences for violation thereof.
