The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday dealt a further blow to Joe Biden’s scheming to coordinate with social media companies to censor the comments and ideas of Americans who don’t agree with his agenda.
Officials with the New Civil Liberties Alliance revealed that the appeals court granted their petition for a panel rehearing and added the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to the preliminary injunction in Missouri v. Biden.
That lawsuit drew an original trial court ruling that banned multiple federal arms from working with social media companies to censor Americans. Constitutionally, the government cannot censor speech, but the scheme apparently involved Biden officials telling private organizations to lobby social media for the same result.
That’s been a common practice in the Biden administration, with targets including messages that questioned the integrity of the 2020 election, COVID mandates and much, much more.
Other agencies already barred from the censorship campaigns include the White House, the Surgeon General’s office, CDC and FBI.
