Justice Jackson ripped for worrying about the First Amendment 'hamstringing' government: 'Literally the point'
Fox News
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was ridiculed on Monday after voicing her concerns that the First Amendment could limit the federal government.
The case stemmed from a lawsuit brought by Republican-led states Missouri and Louisiana that accused high-ranking government officials of working with social media companies "under the guise of combating misinformation" that ultimately led to censoring speech on topics that included Hunter Biden’s laptop, COVID-19 origins and the efficacy of face masks — which the states argued was a First Amendment violation.

As the justices questioned whether the Biden administration crossed the constitutional line, Jackson appeared to suggest that such actions can be justified.
