US supreme court set to allow emergency abortions in Idaho – report
Jim Jordan, the rightwing Republican chair of the House judiciary committee, has been a prominent voice alleging that the Biden administration is censoring conservatives on social media.
The supreme court did not exactly weigh in on that claim, but did find that the Republican-led states who challenged the White House’s contacts with social media companies in Murthy v Missouri did not have standing to sue. Here’s what Jordan, who also chairs the subcommittee on the “weaponization of government”, had to say about that:
The First Amendment is first for a reason, and the freedom of expression should be protected from any infringement by the government. Our country benefits when ideas can be tested and debated fairly on their merits, whether online or in the halls of Congress.
The Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have uncovered how and the extent to which the Biden Administration engaged in a censorship campaign in violation of the First Amendment. While we respectfully disagree with the Court’s decision, our investigation has shown the need for legislative reforms, such as the Censorship Accountability Act, to better protect Americans harmed by the unconstitutional censorship-industrial complex. Our important work will continue.
