House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan joined 'America Reports' to sound off on highlights from oral arguments in Murthy v Missouri, a case regarding COVID-era censorship.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio who was inside the Supreme Court for part of its 'Murthy v. Missouri' oral arguments, ripped Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's critique of one plaintiffs' comments about federal pressure on social media firms during the coronavirus pandemic.

During oral arguments Monday, Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga engaged in a back-and-forth with Justice Amy Coney Barrett regarding pressure from government toward social media companies – the latter of which were accused of censoring talk of alternative treatments and virus sourcing conjecture at the whims of the feds and other entities.

Our position is not that the government cannot interact with the platform... but the way they do that has to be in compliance with the First Amendment,' Aguinaga eventually responded. 'I think that means they can give them all the true information that the platform needs and ask to amplify that.' Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C.
