Read SCOTUS Justice Alito’s Dissenting Opinion Criticizing Gov’t Effort to Control Free Speech in Monumental Case
Justice Samuel Alito delivered a blistering dissenting opinion in a recent 6-3 Supreme Court decision allowing the federal government to request social media companies to censor users.
While Justice Amy Coney Barrett argued in the court’s majority opinion the plaintiffs hadn’t established proper standing to seek an injunction against the defendants in Murthy v. Missouri, Justice Alito pointed out:
If the lower courts’ assessment of the voluminous record is correct, this is one of the most important free speech cases to reach this Court in years.
“Freedom of speech serves many valuable purposes, but its most important role is protection of speech that is essential to democratic self-government… and speech that advances humanity’s store of knowledge, thought, and expression in fields such as science, medicine, history, the social sciences, philosophy, and the arts…,” Justice Alito wrote in the introduction of his 33-page opinion, joined in the dissent by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
Alito went on to note the case primarily dealt with censoring opinions and users during the Covid pandemic, and said while some “dangerous” speech may have been suppressed, undoubtedly valuable speech was also censored.
Alito highlighted previous rulings have established “government officials may not coerce private entities to suppress speech… and that is what happened in this case.”
“In sum, the officials wielded potent authority,” Alito concludes his argument. “Their communications with Facebook were virtual demands. And Facebook’s quavering responses to those demands show that it felt a strong need to yield. For these reasons, I would hold that [Plaintiff Jill] Hines is likely to prevail on her claim that the White House coerced Facebook into censoring her speech.”
Alito is himself currently at the center of a free speech dispute, with liberals demanding he recuse himself from pivotal cases involving former President Donald Trump after the SCOTUS justice was observed flying an upside-down American flag at his residence, as well as an “Appeal to Heaven” flag at his beach house.
Alito’s dissenting opinion begins on page 35 in the below document:
Democrat TX Judge Hidalgo Blames Trump For Illegal Alien Rape & Murder Of Teen Girl
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo claimed the recent rape and murder of a 12-year-old Houston girl by a pair of illegal immigrants has nothing to do with Joe Biden’s open borders, and is instead Donald Trump’s fault.
HOLY SHLIT. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo brushes off the m*rd*r of Jocelyn Nungaray and suggests Republicans are to blame for her d*ath.
Why do you care more about defending Biden’s open border than the r*pe and m*rder of an innocent child, @LinaHidalgoTX? pic.twitter.com/Va1Zx32POo— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) June 26, 2024
“Evil happens regardless of immigration status,” the Democrat ignorantly stated.
Hidalgo also alleged Trump “did not want Biden to have a win on immigration, he told his party to pull out of that agreement.”
“So, blaming things on the current immigration policy is absolutely political and it really breaks my heart that people would politicize the sadness of that tragedy. To me it hurts even more that they’re being used as pawns in this fight over immigration that doesn’t even exist because Biden and McConnell agree, it’s just that Trump won’t let them move it forward.”
When a reporter pointed out Hidalgo herself was politicizing the murder by blaming Trump, she became irritated and refused to comment.
Joceyln Nungaray’s alleged killers both entered the U.S. under the Biden administration just weeks before the murder.
Also, the “Biden and McConnell” agreement Hidalgo referred to was a Border Bill that would have only allowed MORE illegals into the country as the federal government was asking for additional Border Patrol agents to process the wave of invaders coming into America from around the world.
Learn the truth about the ridiculous “bipartisan” Biden border bill below:
Democrats are gaslighting the public about the open borders and illegal alien violence just to score political points by bringing in a new wave of leftist voters.
Bombshell: CIA Contractors Colluded with Biden Campaign to Discredit Hunter Biden Laptop Story
Several signatories of the 2020 letter by 51 former intelligence officials claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian “disinformation” were active contractors for the CIA, according to a new government report.
A joint 31-page report by the House Judiciary Committee, the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released Tuesday concluded that top-level CIA officials were aware of the letter beforehand and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA.
“The October 19, 2020, statement on Hunter Biden’s laptop signed by 51 former senior intelligence community officials served to interfere in the American electoral system in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election,” the report states.
“The highest officials within the CIA were aware of the statement prior to its publication. CIA’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) Andrew Makridis testified that he informed Director Gina Haspel or Deputy Director Vaughn Frederick Bishop about its impending release.”

“This sequence of events suggests that senior CIA leadership had ample opportunity to assess the validity of the statement’s claims. Furthermore, the COO’s office appeared to signal approval of the statement in a move that departed from standard Prepublication Classification Review Board (PCRB) protocols.”
The report continues:
Additionally, some of the statement’s signatories were on active contract with the CIA at the time they issued the statement to discredit damaging allegations about Biden family influence peddling. Despite claiming they lacked access to classified information at the time, at least two signatories—Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley—were actively working for the CIA as contractors. This revelation raises concerns that these officials may have abused their positions to expedite the statement’s approval and may have been earning taxpayer dollars while they did it.
Furthermore, officials within the CIA recognized at the time that the Hunter Biden statement was political and would hurt the Agency. The signatories’ decision to leverage their former intelligence community titles to promote a narrative about foreign election interference improperly embroiled the Agency in domestic politics. This report underscores the potential dangers of a politicized intelligence community.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) in a statement said the report “underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government.”
“We knew that the rushed statement from the 51 former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the Biden campaign and the intelligence community,” Jordan wrote. “Now with this interim report, we reveal how officials at the highest levels of the CIA were aware of the statement and CIA employees knew that several of the so-called former officials were on active contract with the CIA. The report underscores the risks posed by a weaponized federal government.”
The letter gave Big Tech companies the justification to mass-censor any online posts or stories reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop in the days leading up to the 2020 election.
It was later revealed that the Biden campaign was directly responsible for quarterbacking the letter in what turned out to be one of the most consequential government disinformation campaigns ever conducted during an election.
The 51 so-called former officials have not only refused to retract their thoroughly debunked claim that the Hunter laptop story was Russian disinformation, they’ve actually doubled down!
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in a pivotal 6-3 decision Wednesday struck down a lower court’s injunction preventing the federal government from pressuring Big Tech companies to suppress free speech.

Shocker: Biden Campaign Refuses to Drug Test Joe Biden Before Debate
The Biden campaign has refused to commit to having Joe Biden undergo a drug test before his debate with former President Donald Trump on Thursday.
Biden campaign spokesman Adrienne Elrod on CNN Tuesday refused to entertain the notion of Sleepy Joe taking a drug test before the presidential election.
“Former President Trump asking President Biden for a drug test going into Thursday night. What’s your reaction?” CNN anchor Boris Sanchez asked her.
“I don’t even really know what to say about that,” Elrod responded. “I worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. You know, she also debated him very effectively. He accused her of being on drugs.”

This comes a day after Elrod claimed Biden will be “very energized” at the much-anticipated debate in Atlanta.
Biden has been hunkered down at Camp David since Saturday and his White House schedule was wiped for the week so he could reportedly “prep” for his debate against Trump.
Trump on Monday called for Biden to take a drug test for the debate and pledged he would take one too if Biden agreed.
“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” he wrote on Truth Social.
The former president last week speculated that Biden would “get a shot in the ass” and show up to the debate “all jacked up” on some kind of stimulative drug cocktail.
“As you know, it’s been reported that Crooked Joe has gone to a log cabin to study, prepare. No, he’s sleeping now,” Trump said at a Philadelphia rally.
“Because they want to get him good and strong, so a little before debate time he gets a shot in the ass. They want to strengthen him up. I say he’ll come out all jacked up,” the 45th president added.
Supreme Court Tosses Case Over Biden Coercion Of Social Media to Censor Free Speech
The Supreme Court on Wednesday tossed a case claiming that the Biden administration unlawfully coerced social media companies into removing content and banning users based on political views.
In a 6-3 decision, the Court found that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue – as opposed to tossing the case on merit – just like the vast majority of election fraud cases which didn’t make it past lower courts.
Clearly it was easier to punt this one than focus on the mountain of evidence that the Biden administration and US intelligence agencies were directly pressuring social media platforms to censor free speech disfavorable to the regime.
GOP attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri, along with five social media users, filed the underlying lawsuit claiming that US government officials exceeded their authority by pressuring social media platforms to moderate content. The individual plaintiffs include Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya, as well as Gateway Pundit owner Jim Hoft.
Justice Alito wrote the dissenting opinion and was joined by Thomas and Gorsuch.

The laws sought to prevent social media companies from banning users based on their political views, even if users violate platform policies.
The lawsuit included various claims relating to activities that occurred in 2020 and before, including efforts to deter the spread of false information about Covid and the presidential election. Donald Trump was president at the time, but the district court ruling focused on actions taken by the government after President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
In July last year, Louisiana-based U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty barred officials from “communication of any kind with social-media companies urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.” –NBC News
“If the allegations made by plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” wrote Doughty. “The plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the government has used its power to silence the opposition.”
Dozens of people and agencies were bound by the injunction including President Biden, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control, the Treasury Department, State Department, the US Election Assistance Commission, the FBI and entire Justice Department, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Bhattacharya and Kulldorff, who are among the originators of the Great Barrington Declaration that denounced the lockdown regime, have been victims of social media censorship. For example, the pair says their censorship-triggering statements included assertions that “thinking everyone must be vaccinated is scientifically flawed,” questioning the value of masks, and stating that natural immunity is stronger than vaccine immunity.
While the case was dominated by Covid-19 censorship, it also encompasses the Justice Department’s efforts to suppress reporting about Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” in the run-up to the 2020 election. Doughty gave credence to that accusation.
“The evidence thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario,” wrote Doughty in a 155-page ruling. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’.”
“The White House defendants made it very clear to social-media companies what they wanted suppressed and what they wanted amplified,” wrote Doughty. “Faced with unrelenting pressure from the most powerful office in the world, the social-media companies apparently complied.”
Doughty quoted communications from administration officials to social media company employees, saying they represent “examples of coercion exercised by the White House defendants.” Here’s a small sampling:
- “Cannot stress the degree to which this needs to be resolved immediately. Please remove this account immediately.”
- To Facebook: “Are you guys fucking serious? I want an answer on what happened here and I want it today.”
- “This is a concern that is shared at the highest (and I mean highest) levels of the WH”
- “Hey folks, wanted to flag the below tweet and am wondering if we can get moving on the process of having it removed. ASAP”
The judge also noted that the badgering came simultaneous with threats of changing the social media regulation scheme, and that those threats had extra credibility since they came as the Democrats controlled the White House and Congress.
On appeal the New Orleans-Based 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed the scope of Doughty’s injunction, however it still required the White House, FBI and top health officials not to “coerce or significantly encourage” social media companies to remove content considered to be misinformation in a practice known as “jawboning” – in which the government pressures private parties to do its bidding, sometimes with the implicit threat of negative consequences if its demands aren’t met.
74% of People Who Died After Covid Vaccination Were Killed by the Shot — Study
Last year a study conducted by Dr. Peter McCullough was published as a preprint and censored within 24 hours. It was republished following peer review Friday. It detailed how three-quarters of those who died after being injected with the Covid gene therapy technology died as a result of the shot.
“We found that 73.9% of deaths were directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination,” the study said in the ‘Highlights’ section. “Our data suggest a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccination and death.”
Hulscher et al found that most deaths after COVID-19 vaccination were due to vaccine heart damage or blood clots.

Dr. McCullough joined Alex Jones to discuss the study and its findings while it was in preprint form back in 2023.
The research was conducted via compiling numbers from other studies.
“We searched PubMed and ScienceDirect for all published autopsy and necropsy reports relating to COVID-19 vaccination up until May 18th, 2023. All autopsy and necropsy studies that included COVID-19 vaccination as an antecedent exposure were included,” the study said in the ‘Methods’ section.
Via compilation and analyzation of the raw numbers, the researchers pieced together the rate of mortality from the shots and the methods by which the shots killed their victims.
“We initially identified 678 studies and, after screening for our inclusion criteria, included 44 papers that contained 325 autopsy cases and one necropsy case. The mean age of death was 70.4 years. The most implicated organ system among cases was the cardiovascular (49%), followed by hematological (17%), respiratory (11%), and multiple organ systems (7%). Three or more organ systems were affected in 21 cases. The mean time from vaccination to death was 14.3 days. Most deaths occurred within a week from last vaccine administration,” the study said in the ‘Results’ section. “A total of 240 deaths (73.9%) were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination, of which the primary causes of death include sudden cardiac death (35%), pulmonary embolism (12.5%), myocardial infarction (12%), VITT (7.9%), myocarditis (7.1%), multisystem inflammatory syndrome (4.6%), and cerebral hemorrhage (3.8%).”
The study indicated a causal relationship between the Covid vaccine and dying, meaning the researchers discovered a link between getting the shot and being killed by it.
“The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine mechanisms of injury and death, coupled with autopsy confirmation by physician adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death,” the study said in the ‘Conclusions’ section.

The Covid shots are known to make people retarded, increase in lethality after repeated doses and double the death rate of Covid patients, yet the death rate is still higher than what is reported, increase Covid infection rates, result in tons of bizarre and unusual skin disorders, insane and gross turbocancers, reproductive destruction, cause miscarriages, paralyzation, tinnitus, blood clots in the brain, increased excess death rates, autoimmune disorders in the thyroid, as well as deadly headaches, seizures and heart inflammation including in children, while also causing the vaccinated people’s skin to ‘erupt’, in addition to a multitude of serious ailments seen in massive population studies and contain hundreds of times the allowable levels of DNA contamination leading to mutagenic effects, contaminating the blood supply, as well as permanently altering the DNA of the vaccinated and their offspring while being expected to kill people for a very long time into the future.
In the U.S. the CDC recommends all Americans receive their Covid shot and that young children receive extra, while Canada recommends another Covid shot for the pregnant, indigenous, ‘racialized’ & ‘equity-deserving’.
