Trump Trial and the Erosion of Constitutional Norms | Seth Leibsohn  with Carol Platt Liebau

In Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court has taken the coward’s way out. In a 6-3 ruling, it declined to rule on whether the Biden administration could coerce social media companies to censor and shadowban people who disagree with it. It said the plaintiffs lacked standing—that those who sued hadn’t shown a sufficient injury to bring the case.

This ought to be distressing for everyone who cares about free speech. The Biden administration clearly engaged in censorship by surrogate—using social media companies to silence those it could not legally silence on its own.

But there is good news. First, future plaintiffs can challenge the Biden censorship regime. Second, bad legal news is great political news: Donald Trump could—and should—make free speech a centerpiece of his campaign. Republicans in Congress can draft laws to protect our First Amendment and draw a contrast with our left-wing government censors.

Contrasting Biden vs. Trump Economy | John Solomon with Steven Moore

For years, Democrats have been styling themselves as the “party of democracy.” They have characterized their political opponents, most notably former President Trump” as a “threat to democracy.” In his 2022 speech in Philadelphia, President Biden accused what he called “MAGA Republicans” of working to undermine democracy itself.

So imagine how surprising it was to read a recent story in the New York Times. It details all the ways a coalition of leftists is working to thwart Trump’s policy objectives, should he regain The White House.

How ironic. Those who claim to fight for democracy are working overtime to ensure their preferred policies remain in place — regardless of what the people actually vote for.

It gives the game away: To the left, “democracy” has nothing to do with honoring the outcome of elections. For them, “democracy” means they get to rule.
