A federal judge on Monday turned down a Justice Department request to temporarily pause an order that blocks top Biden administration officials and several agencies from contacting social media companies, rejecting the government's claims that the injunction was too broad and threatened to chill lawful conduct.
U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, appointed to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump, reiterated in a 13-page ruling denying the Justice Department's request for a stay that Missouri and Louisiana were likely to succeed on the merits of their case against the Biden administration.
"Although this Preliminary Injunction involves numerous agencies, it is not as broad as it appears," Doughty wrote. "It only prohibits something the Defendants have no legal right to do — contacting social media companies for the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner, the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech posted on social-media platforms."

Screw the Biden Administration.
They have been using Federal resources to smear and harass conservatives.
I can’t wait to smear and harass Democrats with those same opportunities. However, we won’t get that.
Well, there’s a judge with balls, and they’re hanging on the right side.
Screw the Biden Administration.
Remember when Obama said you’ll control everything if you control social media
President Retard doesn’t want to stop being a NAZI
The judge just downloads the same order and changes the date. These swine can’t understand that they will get nowhere with Doughty PERIOD.
Judge Doughty was confirmed 98-0 by the U.S. Senate!
Not even ONE Democrat voted against him.

The MSM and Democrats are trying to score points against Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, and is presiding over the Trump document case in Miami.
Cannon received 12 Democrat votes, and 14 other Democrats did not even bother to show up for the vote!
