Justice Samuel Alito wrote a sharp dissent, joined by two other conservatives, Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Neil Gorsuch. So, Roberts, Kavanaugh, & Barret went with the liberals.

Hopefully, if Trump is re-elected and vacancies develop on the USSC he will get a list of nominees from a source other than his previous. He should also seek opinions from Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch on who they think would be the strongest “Originalist” candidates.

“Terrible decision. Basically it's unclear who, if anyone, has standing to sue when the gov jawbones a media outlet to stifle criticism, and it ignores the mountain of evidence presented showing censorship, as Alito points out.”
It is a terrible decision. On the bright side it greenlights the stern action President Trump will probably have to take to right the ship of state.
Hopefully the left will remember how happy they were with this decision when their excesses are curtailed.

Hoft’s declaration reveals that Twitter took action according to its own rules against posting private, intimate media without consent. Hoft does not provide evidence that his past injuries are likely traceable to the FBI or CISA.
Barrett said, "To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a Government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek. Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction"
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-411_3dq3.pdf In other words only Twitter can defend the first amendment on behalf of their subscribers. As it was Twitters rules set by the federal government.
I think I have that correct.

And this is how the SCOTUS “evens” it’s ruling out to appear neutral.

Yup, plaintiffs have to be able to prove they personally were injured when they to court.

Wait until the immunity and the J6 rulings come out. We are all going to be in shock. If you think this was a slap on the face of the constitution, we haven’t seen nothing yet. Prepare accordingly and have your Xanax, Maalox, whatever it is that you take ready and handy.

Both of them are, really, unimpressive! You win some, you lose some! Ultimately, these two are not winners.

Supreme Court tosses out claim Biden administration coerced social media companies to remove contentThis headline is picometers from an outright lie.
The reasonable conclusion any normal reader would derive, is that SCOTUS ruled on the issue and found for the government.
They did not. They punted with the execrable "Standing" dodge.

Standing is the killer of many cases, an excuse not to take or decide a case. BTW, is the issue of standing new or does this occur throughout history? I haven’t seen any discussion or analysis on this.

Apparently not … have a two tier system. Example: look what happened to Trump. In both cases he hurt nobody he paid his financial people or loans correctly. The bank said so and also the hush money cases that were thrown out before the corrupt NY lawfare bench remodeled the statue of limitations to benefit the whore and that piece of crap ex lawyer of his. I’m sorry, but our country has lost its way. And by the Supreme Court ruling this way against the constitution , only proves that we are indeed rapidly sliding off a cliff!

SCOTUS says plaintiffs lacked standing to complain, which I interpret as they didn’t want to hear the case.

Kav, Roberts and Barrett are Deep State tools. Garbage.
To: Rlsau1
I think if any sitting Supreme court justice were to suggest a replacement, and that knowledge were made public, would endanger that justice, and more than likely find themselves impeached, convicted and removed form the court. Especially if that justice was a conservative..
So, I think we would be better served with someone who is not connected to the GOPe make suggestions to Trump. 🙂👍
