Biden Admin Suffers Massive Defeat In Court

Cheaters never prosper and the Biden administration is no exception.

WLTR has been bringing you reports of the Biden administration’s disastrous record in the courts—they just can’t seem to win or find any legally sound ways to push their agenda.

We previously reported that a lower court ruled against Biden’s unconstitutional collusion with social media companies to censor Americans and trample our sacred right to freedom of speech.

Being what they are, the Biden administration sought an appeal that was recently denied by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals—the court upheld the lower court’s ruling originally issued on July 4th.

Star Tribune confirmed: “The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans said the White House, the Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control, and the FBI cannot ”coerce” social media platforms to take down posts the government doesn’t like.”

“The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals UPHELD the District Court ruling in Missouri v. Biden, yet again enjoining the Biden Administration from colluding with social media companies to censor speech. This is yet another big win – I’m proud to have filed this case,” Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt said in an X post.

The Epoch Times provided an excerpt from the recent ruling:

“It is true that the officials have an interest in engaging with social media companies, including on issues such as misinformation and election interference,” the three-judge panel said in a 74-page ruling on Sept. 8.

“But the government is not permitted to advance these interests to the extent that it engages in viewpoint suppression,” they added.

The court found that the officials made “express threats” and “inflammatory accusations” by saying that the platforms were “poisoning the public” and “killing people.”

Actor Rob Schneider, who has long been critical of the corrupt Biden regime and Covid hysteria, celebrated the recent ruling from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Thankfully, America’s last stand against Biden Regime’s Authoritarian Censorship is the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. They just ruled…

Rep. Glenn Grothman issued this statement: “The Biden Administration working hand-in-hand with social media companies to censor and silence everyday Americans is a grave attack on our right to free speech. I applaud the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for correctly ruling that the White House violated the First Amendment.”

Fox News had more on the story:

However, in its ruling, the court threw out language from a Louisiana judge in July who had ruled that the government could not contact social media platforms to urge them to take content down.
