Justice Alito is going to allow the Biden Administration to justify why they should be allowed to control all the content on social media platforms and coordinate with the social media companies to remove opinion & information against their interests. This should be interesting. 😂🤣😂
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would place restrictions on the Biden administration’s contact with social media companies.
The brief order issued by conservative Justice Samuel Alito came less than two hours after the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to step in.
It gives the court more time to consider what next steps to take before deciding whether to grant the administration’s request. In the meantime, the lower court ruling will remain on hold until midnight on Sept. 22.
[…] Alito’s order, which does not mean the court will necessarily grant Prelogar’s request once considered in more detail, said the states should respond by Sept. 20.
[…] “The implications of the Fifth Circuit’s holdings are startling,” Prelogar wrote. “The court imposed unprecedented limits on the ability of the President’s closest aides to use the bully pulpit to address matters of public concern, on the FBI’s ability to address threats to the Nation’s security, and on the CDC’s ability to relay public health information at platforms’ request.” (read more)

Yeah, we’ve thought that before and they ended up throwing us under the bus.
Sure feels that way.
Slavery of the Press.
Exactly
Agreed!
Biden has discovered a new level of Crazy.
Hunter indictment has probably pushed him over the edge of sanity.
Hopefully he’s doing this for the entertainment factor, and not seriously considering granting their request, no matter what silly arguments they come up with.
sundunce, really? ugh: Joe Biden Admin Begs Supreme Court to Let Them Control Social Media Content – Alito Says Maybe
What is wrong with Sundance in your opinion?
Not Alito. He and Thomas are solid.
Either that or we are totally screwed.
“Then why the temporary block?“
Yes this is a gut punch and it’s a shock. I never expected this from Alito.
Yeah unless hes sold his soul and gone totally corrupt, I agree.
That is how I’m reading it. Why not give them the opportunity to perhaps let a cat or two out of the bag?
Also displays a willingness to listen to the left, blunting the inevitable complaints from the left claiming conservative bias by a right leaning SCOTUS.
Bingo. Alito is indeed leading them into temptation and they are too eager to go.
my first thought too...
Supremes may want the opportunity to permanently stomp on this unprecedented illegal and unconstitutional deprivation of rights under color if law.
Those are my thoughts too.
The only reason that Alito would even consider giving Biden’s gagle of commies a chance to succeed at controling the social media sewer is that they have threatened him and his family physically.
Or Alito has turned to the Dark Side.
