The U.S. Supreme Court did not appear ready to resolve major questions related to free speech on social media and the regulation of digital platforms after arguments on Monday over two controversial laws passed by Republican-controlled legislatures in Florida and Texas.
In 2021, Republicans in Florida and Texas enacted new laws limiting the ability of social media companies to moderate and remove content from users. The laws came amid a wave of real and perceived censorship of conservative viewpoints on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, including the removal of former President Donald Trump from such sites following his attempt on Jan. 6 of that year to illegitimately remain in power.
Former President Donald Trump might be romping his way to the Republican nomination in state primary elections as he aims to retake the White House, but his actual campaign is happening in the courts, where he confronts real challenges. This week he faced two different cases and came out with a mixed outcome.
The U.S. Supreme Court was nearly unanimous Thursday in its skepticism of the argument that the Constitution allows a state to remove a presidential candidate from its ballot after the Colorado Supreme Court decided to take former President Donald Trump’s name off its ballot for engaging in insurrection.
After former president and current GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s disqualification from the ballots in Colorado and Maine for engaging in insurrection on Jan. 6, it didn’t take long for Republicans to respond with retributive calls to do the same to President Joe Biden, among other Democrats.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s defiant statement on Wednesday rejecting the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration law at the U.S.-Mexico border ratcheted up the already tense stand-off between the state and the Biden administration — and signaled how fully the GOP has become the party of the Southern conservatives it was founded to fight.
The conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court appeared ready to overturn another major decades-old precedent when it heard arguments on Wednesday in two cases about fishing regulations.
Allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the prosecution of Donald Trump in Atlanta, seem unlikely to wholly derail the attempt in Georgia to hold the former president accountable for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election but have handed him additional grist for his grievance-based politics and could certainly delay the trial until after the 2024 election.
