The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday postponed plans to vote on subpoenas to compel the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook to testify on allegations of anti-conservative bias after some panel Republicans expressed reservation about the maneuver.
President Donald Trump and his Republican allies have scorched the two social media companies in recent days over their handling of disputed New York Post reports alleging ties between Joe Biden and his sons business interests.
Gameplan in flux: GOP Judiciary leaders had announced plans to hold a markup Tuesday on whether to subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to testify on allegations the company's decisions on user posts stifle conservative viewpoints, which Twitter denies. Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) later said the planned vote would also target Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The panel announced Monday it will now consider whether to authorize the subpoenas at a high-profile executive session Thursday where it is separately expected to approve Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. The committee said in a statement it will continue to negotiate with the companies "to allow for voluntary testimony" by the CEOs, but that if an agreement is not reached the panel will move ahead with a vote on the subpoenas "at a date to be determined."

Some stupid Republicans with no survival instincts, it appears. If they don’t do something about this blatant in-your-face censorship NOW while they can, they will not be able to do anything at all later and, if God is just, then in the end, they will suffer the most because of their weakness and wicked failure to protect the 1st amendment.

They have a backbone....against Conservatives and their supporters.
Correct. And they are drama queens who want attention at the thursday mark up hearing. Sasse had a tantrum at one of these a while back and Graham delayed things. It’s all beltway theater run out the clock nonsense, anyway.
