Awful: The Supreme Court Gives Biden the Go-Ahead to <i>Continue Pressuring Social Media Companies to Cenor Conservatives</i> While It Takes Its Sweet Time in Reviewing the Matter

Awful: The Supreme Court Gives Biden the Go-Ahead to Continue Pressuring Social Media Companies to Cenor Conservatives While It Takes Its Sweet Time in Reviewing the Matter

A court imposed an injunction on the Biden Administration, forbidding them from their practice of Friendly Coercion of social media monopolies, pressuring them to censor conservatives and true information about covid and vaccines and masking.

The court had not conducted a full trial on the merits of the lawsuit against Biden yet; it imposed the injunction pre-trial, reasoning 1, the plaintiffs would likely ultimately prevail and 2, allowing the government to continue censoring people while awaiting the trial deprived them of their speech rights in the interim.

The Supreme Court just overturned that injunction and told Biden he can continue censoring his political enemies while the lower court conducts a full trial.

The Supreme Court has blocked an injunction that would prevent the Biden administration from pressuring social media firms to take down content. Justices agreed to hear the Biden administration's appeal of the injunction, which will be stayed until the high court issues a ruling that could either uphold the injunction or block it permanently.
The decision to grant the stay and hear the administration's appeal was issued in an order Friday. The court previously issued a temporary stay while it considered whether to hear the case, so the injunction has not been enforced.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented, arguing that the stay "allows the defendants to persist in committing the type of First Amendment violations that the lower courts identified. The majority takes this action in the face of the lower courts' detailed findings of fact."

So Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh supported the liberals (and John Roberts). Wow, what great justices.

Let Amy Coney Barrett be the very fucking last justice Republicans okay based on biography and gender and race.

The case began with the Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general suing the Biden administration in US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, alleging that the government violated the First Amendment by colluding with social networks "to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content." US District Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump nominee, issued a sweeping injunction ordering the administration to halt a wide range of communications with social media companies.

...
Alito's dissent on Friday, which was joined by Thomas and Gorsuch, criticized the majority for issuing its decision "without any explanation." The decision "suspends the effect of that injunction until the Court completes its review of this case, an event that may not occur until late in the spring of next year," Alito wrote.
"Government censorship of private speech is antithetical to our democratic form of government, and therefore today's decision is highly disturbing," Alito's dissent said. A stay requires the government to show that there is "a likelihood that irreparable harm will result from the denial of a stay," Alito wrote, arguing that the Biden administration did not clear that bar.

The government's key censorship agency, CISA, braces for (ineffectual) GOP attacks.

This is Politico ~~reporting~~ repeating, so of course they push the idea that America cannot survive without an agency created by Trump five years ago.

An agency set up under Donald Trump to protect elections and key U.S. infrastructure from foreign hackers is now fighting off increasingly intense threats from hard-right Republicans who argue it's gone too far and are looking for ways to rein it in.
These lawmakers insist work by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to combat online disinformation during elections singles out conservative voices and infringes upon free speech rights -- an allegation the agency vehemently denies and the Biden administration is contesting in court. The accusations started in the wake of the 2020 election and are ramping up ahead of 2024, with lawmakers now calling for crippling cuts at the agency.
"CISA has blatantly violated the First Amendment and colluded with Big Tech to censor the speech of ordinary Americans," Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which oversees CISA, said in a statement to POLITICO.
The fight over CISA underscores yet another way Trump's election fraud claims are reverberating into 2024. And though the hard right doesn't have enough votes to defund CISA today, the growing backlash against it has supporters worried that a hard-right faction could hobble the agency in the years ahead -- undermining its efforts not just to secure future elections, but also protect key U.S. and federal networks from major hacks.

LOL. I mean, there's no possible way to defund its censorship functions while continuing to fund anti-hacking efforts, right, Politico?

...
But when Chris Krebs, the then-head of CISA, debunked Trump's 2020 election fraud claims, the president fired him. And since the GOP assumed control of the House in 2022, like-minded Republicans have been ratcheting up their scrutiny of the agency.

So that's the only censorship activity CISA is engaging in, Politico? It didn't coordinate with social media monopolies to censor true information about covid and vaccines, huh?

The Supreme Court will also review Hawaiian judges' invalidations of laws against children getting sex change operations.

As multiple federal courts have issued various rulings on the legality of child sex bans, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the Supreme Court is likely to take up the issue.
In Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky, federal courts have upheld child sex change bans, while bans in other states, such as Arkansas, have been struck down. The arguments against the bans are often derived from the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the 14th Amendment, but those arguments aren't likely to survive on the Supreme Court level, where challenges to the bans are likely headed, legal experts told the DCNF.
"The next stop is the Supreme Court," Sarah Perry, a senior legal fellow for the Heritage Foundation, told the DCNF.
The circuit splits at the Appeals level of the court system all but guarantee that a child sex change lawsuit will find its way to the Supreme Court, Perry explained.
...
The new standard set by the recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization also presents a potential issue for anyone who would argue a child sex change ban violates the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause, Jipping told the DCNF.
"Dobbs has changed the playing field by insisting on the text, history and tradition test in the case of Due Process," Roger Brooks, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom and co-counsel for the Alabama sex-change case, told the DCNF.
Rights derived through the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment must be "'deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition,'" the Supreme Court wrote in the Dobbs decision in June 2022.
"It's not rooted in our text, history, or tradition," Perry said, speaking about child sex change surgeries and gender ideology.
There must be some sort of legal precedent and history of ordinances or laws that were created to ensure the protection of a right that is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, Jipping told the DCNF.
"This court is skeptical about creating rights that aren't in the constitution," Jipping said.

Wow, what a radical notion -- taking the position that a "constitutional right" must be mentioned in the actual Constitution to be right.

We'll see if Judging Amy once again sides with Roberts in her Liberal Ingratiation and Media Make-Over Tour.

I don't know why anyone is surprised.

As I was saying at the time, the Federalist Society suggests potential justices to R presidents / politicians based on, essentially, who is least likely to be a "judicial activist" which in practice means challenging precedence.

Which is kind of hard to ascertain from judges opinions at any level other than the highest appellate court (state or federal). And of course the vast majority of justices come from lower federal courts where their job is to simply apply existing caselaw to new issues.

No one has ever explained to me why we want judges who won't overturn bad precedents.

It does.

It is also a lesson that everyone who has ever been in government at any point apparently failed to learn. This is not what CISA was for, nor what it is supposed to do. CISA's charter was fairly simple: work within the US government and (cooperatively and with their voluntary participation) major companies to harden IT infrastructure against cyberattack. That's it. Develop and distribute best practices, operational standards, etc. to help defend government and industry systems against hackers.

Then it decided it should also be involved in other infrastructure protection (power systems, phone networks, etc.). Then it decided that it needed to compete with the other spook agencies in the "disinformation" power play.

It is absolutely outside its charter, and CISA is running roughshod just like everyone else. This *always* happens. The correct answer - regardless of the question or circumstance - is never, for any reason, "there ought to be an agency..."

82 73 I don't know why anyone is surprised.

As I was saying at the time, the Federalist Society suggests potential justices to R presidents / politicians based on, essentially, who is least likely to be a "judicial activist" which in practice means challenging precedence.

Which is kind of hard to ascertain from judges opinions at any level other than the highest appellate court (state or federal). And of course the vast majority of justices come from lower federal courts where their job is to simply apply existing caselaw to new issues.

No one has ever explained to me why we want judges who won't overturn bad precedents.

Yes, which is probably how CISA found itself in the position to make a serious power play in the name of "disinformation control."

CISA's job was to coordinate with the government (where it has some jurisdiction) and with private industry (where it depends on voluntary cooperation) to develop and promote security practices to defend against cyber attacks.

But that mission required a lot of engagement with the private sector. CISA people built relationships with tech companies and other major companies. They know each other. They work together.

The social network (the real kind) was in place and exploitable for the new "disinfo" mission.

BTW, Ace, NBC News today, Family of Americans released by Hamas say they can't celebrate until all hostages are released. In part,

Judith and Natalie, who are both related to former Israel-based NBC correspondent Martin Fletcher, were taken captive from Nahal Oz, one of several kibbutzim near the Gaza border that were hit hard in Hamas’ attack.

The mother and daughter were met at the Gaza border by Israeli Brig. Gen. Gal Hirsch after their release on Friday and taken to a military base where they were reunited with their loved ones.

Speaking on the TODAY show on Monday, Fletcher said he did not know why Judith and Natalie were singled out for the release.

"Maybe they were the closest to the border and it was just simply the easiest to free them when the time came," he said.

FCC is launching process to strip FOX News in Philly of its broadcasting license for pushing big lie... last July, media reform activists petitioned the FCC to revoke Fox News’ local broadcast license in Philadelphia over its rampant election fraud propaganda, which is a clear violation of the “character clause” embedded in the Communications Act.

Even if it doesn't get fux nooz's license removed, it will send a big message to these right wing media assholes that they need to start trying to tell the truth for a change!

Allowing the destructive propaganda to dominate communications which create and nurture cults of any kind is very, very DANGEROUS as we've seen for the last three decades FFS!!

This is an extremely dangerous precedence. Some should spend a little more time thinking this one through.

This press release is incredibly misleading and Occupy Democrats is a waste of your time. WTXF is an affiliate of Fox TV...The Fox News programming everyone hates is ONLY on their cable channel, which isn't regulated by FCC.

Oh, to be sure. We know from the Twitter Files that at least NSA and FBI are involved, too. CISA is by no means alone.

But I think that the robust social and professional networks that developed as a consequence of CISA's mission (private sector cooperation on security standards and practices) gave them a leg up when the spook complex shifted wholesale in censorship operations. CISA went from something of a special-purpose IC backwater to a major power player on the back of the opportunistic censorship mission, and has outperformed it's bigger, better-funded and more capable cousin agencies.

Setting aside the malignancy, I think CISA's astonishing power increase is an interesting thing, and I think it comes down to those human networks that grew out of the original mission.

CISA rolls out post-election audit tool for 2020, November 22, 2019. The software, Arlo, is an open source tool and election officials from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, Ohio and Georgia have all signed on thus far.

In part, "The Department of Homeland Security has announced a partnership with election nonprofit VotingWorks to pilot new open-source post-election auditing software in several states ahead of the 2020 U.S. elections."

The software, Arlo, was developed by VotingWorks as a free, open-source tool to help states conduct post-election audits to verify voting results. DHS said that election officials from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, Ohio and Georgia have already signed on to the pilot and that earlier iterations of Arlo have already been deployed by several states in off-year elections held this month.

"At a time when we know foreign actors are attempting to interfere and cast doubt on our democratic processes, it's incredibly important elections are secure, resilient, and transparent," Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs said in a statement."

Now the other 211 people in the caucus realize they can play the same game. And they have more numbers. Which means we all got fucked for Gaetz's stupidity. But he's your hero, which must be a small bar.

McCarthy was stupid enough to listen to Nancy Pelosi who said she had his back. Who's the idiot again?

For the record, I don't give a shit about Gaetz, but McCarthy was a world-class loser if he thought the Democrats would stick up for him.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes

Well you get the sort of judges who overturn precedent then it starts to look all political and then people will wonder if the original precedent itself was political and then they start to wonder if the whole basis of the court system is rotten to the bone and then John Roberts feelings get hurt.

You see where this leads.

Gaetz is a fucking idiot and a mental midget. He wanted McCarthy's scalp because he blamed him for the ethics probe. He also blamed him for other stuff which is demonstrably not true. So Man with a Little Brain and not much else, used the one man rule to take down the speaker, which apparently was his intent from the beginning with the only missing point being a pretext. The minute McCarthy had to consider the other 211 people in the caucus, Slack Jaw Dumb Shit pulled the trigger along with the Seven Dwarf Brains. Now the other 211 people in the caucus realize they can play the same game. And they have more numbers. Which means we all got fucked for Gaetz's stupidity.

NextGov/FCW: Manfra announces plans to step down from CISA. November 21, 2019
One of the federal government's top cybersecurity officials announced she would be stepping down at the end of the year.

In part, "Jeanette Manfra, the longstanding and well-respected leader who helped stand up the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department of Homeland Security, is leaving at the end of the year.

"After 12 years at DHS, I'll be leaving CISA at the end of this year. This is not an easy decision, as it's been one of my greatest honors to work alongside such a remarkable team on this incredibly important mission," Manfra wrote on Twitter. "Together, not only did we establish CISA, the nation's first civilian cybersecurity agency, but we have also made great strides towards protecting our country from cyber threats."

If you run the numbers people with the clot shot are substantially more likely to get COVID.

Clot shot proponents argue its because people around COVID are more likely to get COVID, but the data strongly implies the clot shot reduces your immune response to everything...including COVID.

I saw recently they put a big ol' monument up around Dredd Scott's grave. I visited it once, many years a go. A very modest headstone, for a very modest man. I suspect if he could talk, he'd say he preferred the old headstone to the garish monument.

Posted by: BurtTC

The Gaetz hate is totally misdirected and, I think, part of the reason the house is in disarray. It's some kind of cognitive disconnect that can't understand that it was McCarthy's lying and not keeping his word that caused his loss.
His loss should be our gain. The House had ample time to pick a winner but the die hard 'wishie washies' would not and so far are not doing anything but disrupting the vote.

They wouldn't accept Scalise who is a McCarthy knock off and they wouldn't accept Jordan who is a Trumper. They are twenty or so malcontent grifters.

What Gaetz' moved demonstrates is that the Republican caucus in the House ranges from conservative to RINO with the balance tilting toward RINO. No matter who finally gets the job I bet we will eventually hate them to because the Republican majority is so small nothing is getting passed without compromise legislation.

258 Women have a tendency in this direction, towards authoritarianism.

When I worked in the court system as a probation officer, I can't tell you how many cases I saw where some guy was charged with violation of a restraining order.

When judge inquired as to why he had violated, 90% had "made up" with the woman and were again cohabitating. Then the first time another argument started, the police got called.

Women will absolutely use the law to shut you up.
