I hope she wins.

Eventually President Trump would be able to do the same.

Very Soviet of her. Opposing viewpoints are “not constructive” and must be squelched.

I hope she loses. Twitter should be required to remove the “block” function.

“People are free to speak whatever classist, racist, false, misogynistic, bigoted comments they’d like. “

Now that’s some real Marxist keywords right there.

I would love for her twitter account to be filled with comments to the effect of:

PS - I don't twitter.

A judge named Block is going to hear a hearing about blocking.

"Ocasio-Cortez tried to get the case dismissed, arguing Hikind “lacks standing to bring the action,” noting she only blocks individuals whose commentary is not “constructive.”

She doesn't have the right to be judge and jury over what's appropriate or constructive now that's she's a member of the Government.

What's she's doing is the textbook definition of censorship and that very comment right there is going to lose the case for her.

While I agree that there's a whole lotta non-constructive noise out there, if you open a portal (twitter) to speech, then as a Government official, you can't devise filters of your own making.

Maybe her winning strategy is to wear a low cut blouse, braless, and a short skirt with no panties...

Either everybody can block or nobody can block.

The judge does know that she is a Democrat and thus rules don’t apply to her?

The article states...

Judge Frederic Block... mandated Ocasio-Cortez appear in court on Sept. 27 and provide an explanation detailing why she blocked Hikind along with 19 other Twitter users.

Have you heard what the outcome was?
