IMPORTANT Episode 38: My Thoughts On The Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court Hearing Yesterday

47

Hi everyone,

I have just recorded my first thoughts on the Murthy v. Missouri case, which involves the foundational First Amendment rights of Americans. I delve into the history of the case and the concerns about the Biden administration’s censorship regime. Also, I go into some detail about the preliminary injunction and Judge Terry Doughty's ruling, as well as the appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

This is the first part of our exclusive Murthy v. Missouri coverage. Rav and I will be recording a podcast next to discuss the implications further. Moreover, we will be recording episodes with my co-plaintiff Aaron Kheriaty and Jenin Younes (an attorney on the case).

Takeaways:

  • The Murthy v. Biden case involves the First Amendment rights of Americans and concerns about censorship by the Biden administration.

  • There is a pattern of social media censorship, with the government directing social media companies to censor speech on various topics.

  • The preliminary injunction in the case ruled that the Biden administration was violating First Amendment rights, but the case is still ongoing.

  • The Supreme Court's decision in this case will have significant implications for the protection of free speech and the role of the government in censorship.
