This is beyond ridiculous. This is just more vicious anti-Trump propaganda.

The First Amendment gives people the right to speak, but people also have the right to not listen to them.

Trump doesn't want to read what some idiots are writing and he has the perfect right to that. Those people can post anything they want, so their First Amendment rights have not been impacted.

Kudos to the lawyers who convinced a stupid client to pursue this kind of idiocy in a Federal court.

If there was any legal basis for what they're claiming, then why isn't Twitter named as a defendant?

Can I sue my Congressman if I write him an e-mail and I don’t get a reply? LOL.

Bullshiite.

There is a personal account @realDonaldTrump
and a public account @POTUS

If they’re not blocked from the @POTUS account, then they still have access to a public forum to air their views.

Trump being president doesn’t lose his rights to privacy, and though the @realDonaldTrump might be open to the public, he still has the right to limit those who have access to him.

People have the right to say what they want, they can’t force people to listen.

“This is beyond ridiculous. This is just more vicious anti-Trump propaganda.”

They know going out the gate that this is ridiculous, but they are seizing on any “opportunity” to try and gum up the works. It's just too bad we don't have better means of sanctioning this kind of activity. The fact is though, this is ALL THEY HAVE! The Left has virtually no power. It sucks today to be a Leftist.

They can still go to his page and read his tweet history. Free speech doesn’t equate to a right to be heard. Will they demand his cell number, as well?

What times I’ve followed a link to Trumps Twitter acct. a;; I see in the replies are nothing but juvenile,slanderous lies and re-tweeted anti-Trump memes.

A lot of leftwits seem to be getting through just fine.

Same hypocrite types who protest the right of conservatives to host and give speeches on taxpayer-funded properties, including those bastions of free speech, universities. Even resorting to violence and physical assault to prevent it. But they not only have a right to speak, they think they have a right to force other people to hear them.

Free Speech does not impose a duty to listen
