Alito, SCOTUS Temporarily Reinstate Biden Censorship

WTF!

Supreme Court Issues Another Temporary Pause On Injunction Against Biden Admin Censorship Efforts

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Friday issued another stay of an injunction blocking the Biden administration from encouraging social media companies to censor speech.

Alito’s administrative stayblocks the injunction originally issued by District of Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty until Oct. 20, giving the justices more time to consider the Biden administration’s request for a longer stay on the injunction and to take up the case. Alito has issued short stays against the injunction twice, with the last one expiring Sept. 27.

After the Biden administration first asked the Supreme Court to pause the injunction, the Fifth Circuit again stepped in, signaling that it would rehear the case. The Fifth Circuit withdrew

its initial decision Oct. 3 and issued a new one finding the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) also violated the First Amendment, along with those initially included such as the White House, the Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FBI.

Don't tell me the Supreme Court is right wing. We still have a LOT of work to do!

There is no sane reason to pause the injunction. Biden was clearly suppressing free speech.

2 If we have a supposedly conservative court and one of the most conservative members of that court stays a ban on censorship, how do we hope to hold onto anything? It's insane Dana.

3 Makes you wonder if somebody "got to him..."

4 It does Dana. I just can't imagine ALITO staying an order to stop Biden from censoring. He knows full well what the Constitution says. This was a no-brainer.

The only thing I can think of is Alito wants the full Court to smack this down once and for all in a ruling over it's Constitutionality.
