Here it is..
I know they did...
You know they did...
They know they did....
The judges know they did..
Question is, what is the remedy?
The FBI has abused many defenseless citizens for a long time.
A better question is: Did the FBI violate the First Amendment when it had a ‘Partner Portal’ and directly took down tweets without advising Twitter to do it?
Again, some of the tweets Twitter did not even view or were not advised to take down — the FBI did it directly without their knowledge.
Yes
When you collude with social media sites, pay them with taxpayer dollars, so they will censure taxpayers who are also paying your salary, while you violate their right to free speech, I’d say the FBI is violating more than just the First Amendment.
Of course they did. So what?
The FBI is an Executive Branch bureaucracy.
The argument per the headline is a false premise and will fail if they pursue that line in litigation.
Obviously the only real recourse here is impeachment of the responsible party, and we all know that will either not happen or lead to something much, much worse.
Thus, the real traitors are not the FBI, nor the Biden administration.
After what they did to Trump we all know the truth: The real traitors are the GOP and those pulling their strings.
This is straight up spying on people who are not criminal suspects.
Yes.
Next question.
It is way beyond a violation of the first amendment. The alphabet agencies are participating in a “Color Revolution” (Hope the spelling is correct.) With designs to destroy the United States. I call it Treason.
Even if they did, who would prosecute them?
Like all of the Constitutional “government may not...” restrictions the Constitution doesn’t provide criminal penalties for this crime.
We need a constitutional amendment which sets out harsh penalties for government entities and employees who violate the Constitution. Congress could create laws, but laws are easily changed.
Yes. Congress funds the FBI, therefore falls under the 1st Amendment freedom of speech violation and should be defunded in total.
They will argue that since the FBI is not congress, or even constitutional, that they are exempt from violating the Bill of Rights. And by threatening like Schiffhead, “if you don’t censor what we don’t like we might have to do something about it” they can claim they didn’t “order” Twitter or big tech to censor anything. And an Obama judge will agree.
They didn’t just “collude” with Twitter. The federal government leaned on Twitter to do things that they, the federal government, could not.
This has been held by courts over and over again to be State Action.
The government, which has massive regulatory and oversight powers cannot lean on private companies as a means of getting around restrictions on government power in the constitution.
There needs to be consequences in the form of a massive class action lawsuit and mass firings of government employees involved.
YES. But Democrat voters don’t care. They elect frauds like Fetterman to the Senate who will vote for MORE reckless spending and block investigations.
To the headline. If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
probably not ... I think the 1st amendment restricts congress from making laws about religion ... but they probably violated some election laws ...
