It's the First Amendment, Stupid

The judge’s exact words to the State of Florida, though I think implicitly directed to DeSantis.

DeSantis was trying to use legal threats to silence television ads in favor of Amendment 4. The judge told DeSantis to ■■■■ off in no uncertain terms.

Everybody gets their say. As much as you would like to silence the opposition, not going to happen.

I agree that government should not be trying to silence political ads. On either side of an issue.

The arguments on each side need to determine the outcome of the issue. Not government pressure.

I do not begrudge the party in power using the bully pulpit on an issue. But dictating what others can say is totally out of bounds.

Agreed. The government needs to stay out whether threatening legal action for a political ad or using the fbi and intelligence agencies to pressure Twitter or Facebook.

Yeah Desantis is doing some pretty shady ■■■■ to try to get this amendment killed. Surprised there hasn’t been more uproar about this blatant government intervention.

Everyone should be mad! Let’s all be mad about this! :rofl:

That’s fine.

Now when are the judges going to stand up to the feds???

Censoring social media sites, jailing protestors in some cases???

Free speech should be free speech for BOTH sides!

Luckily there are other threads on that. But is it so hard to just say Desantis is doing something that’s wrong. And the judge was correct so slap him down without the “but but but but but what about_________?” Seeing as this thread is specifically about this particular thing that Desantis is trying to do.

If you had read @gooddad409 real slow he said that’s fine…meaning it was good that it was slapped down.

Have you read those “Other” threads where forum libs are always defending government censorship?

I don’t recall you correcting those libs.

No, but he did have a need to tell someone they should post their thoughts somewhere else in a thread about “It’s the first Amendment, Stupid”!

It’s literally about “It’s the first amendment, stupid”

I do understand you want to silence everyone about other first Amendment violations.

So far, no-one has disagreed that Disantis attempt was stupid. There are other stupid actions made by other people. I’m certain though, that if someone had posted some dreamt up violation by Trump, you’d have told them to take it elsewhere… right?

BTW, you don’t have to answer that… we know the answer

Government using its power to influence media into supressing what government deems to be “misinformation” is a bad thing.

So naive

EXCEPT…the Left DOES try to silence, and they succeed at times in silencing the opposition.

They tried with Trump, they succeeded with various whistle-blovers.

Trump is still upright and fighting 'cos he has means and stamina to fight the corrupt Left Gov. Machine.

And also on the contrary Trump succeeded big without silencing anyone.

The Left uses silencing for Political gain, Trump follows the law, he uses the LAW to achieve victory over HIS opponents.
Big difference there.
That is the reason the Left is so hystericaly Hell-bent to get rid of him ONE way or the OTHER.

That’s the reson, one of them at least, why they ass-kiss Iran Mulas in hope THEY will get rid of Trump since domestic whores were unsuccesiful.

BTW…brace your self for 4 years of the Left curled up in the corner shivering and thinking Trump will go after the culprits who made his life HELL since 2016…IF he wins.
I will certainly enjoy it.
Ill come here every day and twice on Sunday yelling:
GO GET THEM TIGER !!!
GEEEEET them !!! :imp:
