bilmem Judge Jumanji Concerned 1st Amendment Hurts Government's Ability to Stop Free Speech

Affirmative Action Jackson in the hoooouuuuussse, y'all!


Quote:
Justice Jackson Says 1st Amendment Is "Hamstringing The Government" In Efforts To Censor Speech
Joel Abbott
· Mar 18, 2024 · NottheBee.com

BREAKING: Supreme Court justice discovers why the First Amendment was written:

My biggest concern is that your view has the 1st Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways...

Uh, well, yeah, that's literally the entire reason it was created, but proceed.

...in the most the most important time periods.

By which you mean the periods of time that the government wants to silence the speech of those who dissent with an official government position, like, say, the Stamp Act of 1765?

What would you have the government do? I've heard you say a couple of times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, "Kids, this is not safe, don't do it," is not gonna get it done.

Won't someone think of the kids?

Everyone knows only the government cares about kids, which is why they colluded with Facebook, Google, and Twitter to shut down the speech of anyone (even experts) who countered the government's narrative about Covid, school shutdowns, or the vaccine.

The kids were really helped by that. Thanks, government!!

And so, I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty can not manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.

Well, see, back in this year called 1776, there was this "harmful information" called the Declaration of Independence that had some philosophical ideas about people governing themselves. The government was quite upset by this and felt it had the duty to "take steps to protect the citizens" of its American colonies and that looked like this:

I'm really worried about that, because you've got the 1st Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective and you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems.

Holy moly that is a SCARY quote. Read it again.
Yes, that's literally what the 1A says!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

If the government can stop what you say, why not stop who you are allowed to pray to or who you are allowed to meet or any type of protest against the government at all?

I really can't understand how someone this ignorant can sit on the Supreme Court, but I'm not a biologist so I dunno.
Yo Justice Jackson, the 1A was written with you specifically in mind!
Thanks for proving the Founders right!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. - CS Lewis
The most upsetting thing about this is, you'd think this would be so embarrassing for Jumaji she would resign, but of course, she won't. I wonder how her fellow justices look at her? Compared to her, the Wise Latina is a literal genius, so I guess at least one justice is good with it.

Hamstringing the ability to censor free speech.

That is a sentence that really needs to soak in. Just contemplate what that says and I think you'll agree that the appropriate response is "Well that's just a fkng shame now isn't it?"

Censor free speech... and then

I dont think we will win this one. It seems they are looking to see if someone was "harmed".
She on the other hand is pure DEI

That's clearly grounds for impeachment.

Quote:
Article II Section 1: The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior
Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour...
If only these clowns had some balls:

Quote:
Article I Section 2: The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other
Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
And were backed up by these clowns:

Quote:
Article I Section 3: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.

You are correct Yadkin, she should be impeached immediately. But we k know that will never happen to a black female judge.
