Washington The Supreme Court on Monday wiped away a lower court opinion holding that then-President Donald Trump violated the First Amendment when he blocked followers from his Twitter account.
The high court dismissed the case because Trump is not in office so there is no longer a live case or controversy.Trump established his Twitter account in 2009, and in May and June of 2017, while serving as President, he blocked seven individuals who had expressed displeasure with him. Lawyers from the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University sued on behalf of the individuals, arguing Trump's action violated their First Amendment rights.
I would rather have an honest, straight to the point telling it like the way it is and make the right decisions and put America first, rather then having a bold face liar that has no clue what is going on run this country
Stand strong my President.
We have to hold officials accountable. Who tf cares if he is a private citizen NOW when he committed the violation while in office! Is it so hard to have integrity?
That’s ok, he blocked himself.
This is the man,who call people loosers.
OH NO! He blocked people on twitter? He needs jail immediately.
He finally got a win in front of the Supreme Court 1
Another headline that if you don’t read the story - you are in the dark
So you can run the clock down on charges now? Is that just for presidents or everyone?
Cannot abide the man but I think this us the right decision
who cares, lets get to the good stuff where he goes to jail
Good for him.
So twitter can block users, but users can’t block users. Liberal logic!
. A few my words about D. Trump, I'm a blogger. Poland:
Suit is moot !
Los políticos k argentinos, estarían todos presos ya. La actual vice, durante su presidencia me bloqueó por decirle que trabajaría sin descanso para que no gane las elecciones de 2015.
Here is the context of this holding that 'wipes away' the First Amendment claim. The holding has nothing to do with the merits of the claim. 'The high court *dismissed* the case because Trump is not in office so there is no longer a live case or controversy.' Context matters.🤔🙄
I got block, wore it as a badge of honor. But it was ridiculous.
so president Biden can block all MAGAs then from POTUS ?
OMG!!! Why are we still doing this? Are y’all that scared of this man that you have to keep trying stuff!! This is pathetic!
Wow, cnn still has TDS. Anything about social media giants censoring conservatives while covering up & helping JBiden's campaign? Disgusting & sad ,no wonders ratings in the gutter.
If there is a rule of law in America regarding midia CNN would have face court charges for it's fake news.
