Brown proves that John Adams nailed it:
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
This is why attempts to mimic the US Constitution in third world countries always fail.

Free speech is on trial at the Supreme Court, but Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson is no fan of the First Amendment. The Constitution, you see, limits the government. But leftists want unlimited government — which is why they hate the Constitution.
*****************
When you have a Supreme Court Justice with the first name: “Kentanji” you know your “law system” is a joke.
Kentanji, Fani, Letitia.......Hmmm.....I’m sensing a pattern.... Nah, must be my imagination.(sarcasm)

“...encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information,...”
And therein lies the rub. She’s suggesting that the “government” is and should be the sole arbiter of what be deemed “harmful information” rather than it’s citizens.
That my friends is the bedrock of a communist autocracy.

"In a different exchange, Jackson claimed that a “once-in-a-lifetime pandemic” or any other such declarations of emergency should allow government to escape its constitutional limits. Declarations of emergency are historically common as a means of government power grabs."
Key point in the article. Jackson is using the "just the tip" argument horny teenage boys use in a heated makeout session in the car's back seat.
Now imagine that argument expanded to that WHO treaty-not-a-treaty monstrosity being considered. Everything will suddenly be an "emergency".
Its going to get to a point where people say the equivalent of Wyatt Earp in "Tombstone": "I don’t think I’ll let you arrest us today, Behan."

your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods Indeed.
That's the idea, Mizz Justice Brown Jackson. The Constitution in general defines, and strictly limits, the powers of government. The White Men who wrote it were a lot smarter than you.

“Hamstringing” is violent rhetoric!
It refers to the action of a competitor cutting the hamstring muscle of other competitors in order to win.”
kunta kinte was ham-strung, I saw it on Roots.
That woman is RACIST!!

Those I have known with those names, and LaShawn, Deontay, etc- I just call them the generic Scrabble. It is surprising how little objection I get, maybe they are unfamiliar with the word game. It occurred to me once that these names came from tossing out a mess of Scrabble tiles then lining them up and that’s a name.

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” That is why any effort to Make America Great Again without an even greater effort to Make Americans Good Again is doomed to failure.

The government, then, is always right, and can never be challenged. Wish I could say it’s been nice knowing the government.

She stated if there was a trend all over social media of kids jumping off bridges and dying, what's the harm in government asking sites to remove the posts to save lives.
All the women on the court seemed to favor the government during arguments I heard.

The Constitution is slowly dripping away, one protection after another.
Sad day when the sole job of a SUSC justice is to protect the Constitution doesn't believe in the Constitution.
