Justice Jackson lambasted for 'concern' 1st Amendment could 'hamstring government' in COVID censorship hearing
Fox News
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan joined 'America Reports' to sound off on highlights from oral arguments in Murthy v Missouri, a case regarding COVID-era censorship.
"The big takeaway today was Ketanji Brown Jackson, when she said to the solicitor general from Louisiana, she said, 'you've got the First Amendment hamstringing the government' – Well, that's what it's supposed to do, for goodness sake," he said Monday on "America Reports." Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"It was literally one of the craziest things I've ever seen, that you could have a justice on the United States Supreme Court say that in the oral [arguments] made no sense to me," Jordan added, calling the exchange "frightening" and a potentially bad precursor if such views take greater hold. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
"[U]nderstand what took place here: This was censorship-by-surrogate," Jordan said of the suppression of countervailing thought during the pandemic. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
