Ketanji Jackson Comments Got ‘Even Worse’ After Fretting Over ‘Hamstringing’
Ketanji Jackson, Joe Biden’s only appointment, so far, to the U.S. Supreme Court, was the butt of a multitude of jokes and guffaws this week because she fretted about the First Amendment “hamstringing” the federal government’s attempts to censor speech and thought.
After all, the purpose of the First Amendment was to control the federal government’s attempts to censor speech and thought.
Her blunder came in Supreme Court arguments in a case in which people censored by social media companies – at the behest of the Biden administration – during COVID and more challenged the scheme on First Amendment grounds.
The evidence shows that Biden’s bureaucrats worked hard to coerce social media companies to suppress, even banish, that speech and those thoughts that conflicted with Biden’s agenda.
Jackson fretted, “My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the federal government in significant ways in the most important time periods.”
