What ever became of the First Amendment? Seems to me we had something called that once.
Biden's DOJ demanded info on 'all users' who interacted with Trump's Twitter account
Imagine if Richard Nixon had done something like this; he'd have spent his life in prison.
Now it's just dismissed - even by Republicans.

A 14-page search warrant with eight completely redacted pages revealed that the DOJ special counsel Jack Smith requested that Twitter, now X, turn over Trump's search history, location data, privacy and account settings, and direct messages from October 2020 to January 2021.
The search warrant was issued to Twitter in January and released to the public Monday as part of a lawsuit brought by several media organizations in an attempt to shed light on the investigation into Trump.
It called on Twitter to provide the DOJ with the "content of all tweets created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted by" Trump's account, including "deleted tweets." Smith requested a list of "all users" Trump's account "followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked," as well as "all users who have followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked" his account.
"All information from the 'Connect' or 'Notifications' tab for the account, including all lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted tweets posted by the account, as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account (i.e., 'mentions' or 'replies')," the warrant stated.
The DOJ seemingly demanded information on every conceivable aspect of the former president's social media account, including devices used to log in, advertising information, IP addresses, and any communications with Twitter's team regarding the account.
It further demanded that the social media company not notify Trump about the requested information.
"Twitter is ordered to disclose the above information to the government within 10 days of issuance of this warrant," the filing added. The remainder of the search warrant included entirely redacted pages.

It would seem that our once-sacred Constitution is now only a piece of parchment, enshrined in the Hall of Curiosities. It makes true Americans want to weep.

It should. I fear most Americans still don't know how bad it has gotten.
