SCOTUS bumps across the line from the partisan Lawfare campaign intended to interfere with the election this November, the one that piled up nearly a hundred charges on issues sometimes decades older than the statute of limitations normally permits. Last week’s legal tumult included what is generally considered victories for the defendant, who apparently has the forces of four state-level prosecutors or attorneys-general arrayed against him.
We gave a Sunday morning session to try to figure out the matters unfolding in New York and Georgia. But there is more going on outside the election interference strategy the team supporting the re-election has adopted, and which seems to be unraveling. That would be a mistake in scope that evokes the one employed in the 2016 Campaign.
The one that failed.
We have heard about some of the consequences of that. It raised eyebrows and disputes in the 5th Federal Circuit, and one of them is scheduled to be resolved today.
All right. And the federal government’s alleged censoring of COVID

Biden committed the worst First Amendment violation in nation’s history: Andrew Bailey
The Supreme Court on Monday will hear arguments challenging the Biden administration’s alleged coordination with Big Tech to censor certain messages, in a case that one side says could impact the discourse around the 2024 election.
The nine justices will decide if a temporary ban on the Biden administration limiting their communication with social media companies should stay in place while the merits of the case are litigated in lower courts.

The case stems from a lawsuit brought by state attorneys general from Missouri and Louisiana that accused high-ranking government officials of working with giant 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.

The Press this morning reports that the nine justices will decide if a temporary ban on the Biden administration limiting their communication with social media companies should stay in place while the merits of the case are litigated in lower courts.
There are two in motion on the docket. Today’s case stems from litigation originated by the Attorneys-General of the states of Missouri and Louisiana that accused high-ranking government officials of working with giant social media companies “under the guise of combating misinformation.”
The Constitutional aspect relevant to a SCOTUS decision is about the supresssion that led ultimately to censoring speech on topics including Hunter Biden’s laptop, COVID-19 origins and the efficacy of face masks. The laptop really did belong to Hunter, Covid-19 had a few issues associated with the outbreak, and the masks didn’t actually prevent much of anything.
We saw an earnest-appearing person striding out in the parking lot by herself yesterday, fully masked. Many of us had time in Japan and Korea when we served the nation. The tradition there is that if you feel a mask may help you avoid illness, wear one. But don’t waste anyone’s time explaining why, because the Japanese think it is a personal, not a national decision.
More later. We may see how some of this goes today!
