Thanks for cutting/pasting those conclusions. Yes—the case is significant and that judge is quite perspicacious, honorable, and is going places!

Mr. Niteowl77’s Rule of the Thirds:

One third of the population will do the right thing; one third of the population will do the wrong thing; the remaining third will do whatever the more convincing (or coercing) of the two other thirds tells them to do.

The larger the bureaucracy, the less thought it gives to destroying your life or your family.

Shreveport, Louisiana, had the most explosive fireworks on Independence Day when Judge Terry A. Doughty blew up the federal government’s censorship of conservatives on social media. Trump appointed him in 2018 and Doughty is now the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, based in Shreveport.

The attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri sued to stop federal agents from coercing social media to censor conservatives or anyone else who dared criticize our government.

The deep state cited an extra-constitutional power to fight misinformation and disinformation but the biggest spreaders of lies are the FBI, CIA and the rest of the federal government.

This Doughty’s law clerk. I’m told by my contacts inside the Louisiana lawyer fraternity (nest or coven may be a better term) that he’s probably the author of the opinion.

I just perused the beginning of the ruling and it is a textbook description of the abuse leveled by the Whitehouse to work with the social media companies to censor people on Facebook, Twitter, Google and YouTube. 75% of it is about Facebook.
