Trump-appointed judges have issued odd edicts before, but as stevebenen writes, a 4th of July injunction blocking U.S. officials from interacting with social media companies was uniquely ridiculous.
, “No district court judge issues a 155-page opinion on a federal holiday unless he intends to make a career-altering statement and craves major media attention.”on a stunning court ruling issued on the national holiday.
, challenging U.S. officials’ outreach to social media companies. While officials obviously aren’t in a position to issue edicts, dictating what content the private online platforms could publish, the Biden administration has urged the companies to prioritize public safety. The GOP attorneys general had a problem with this — and they found a Trump-appointed district court judge who agreed with them.
In fact, the injunction restricts government agencies — from the White House to the Department of Health and Human Services to the FBI — from talking to social media companies for “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”
