Progressive Reporter Glenn Greenwald Torches Ketanji Brown Jackson's First Amendment Remarks

He’s not a conservative, but he consistently supports free speech and civil liberties. At times, that’s led to some controversial positions, especially concerning Edward Snowden, but Glenn Greenwald doesn’t toe the party line. If that upsets the Left, the side he mostly aligns with, so be it. He’s doing his independent reporting from Brazil anyway. While maybe not so much in line with conservatives on the issue of Snowden’s leaks, Greenwald has been expertly shredding the Left’s narrative concerning the Russian collusion hoax and the January 6 riot. While not blind to media bias, it has reached absurd levels since Trump to the point where you think he’s a conservative concerning his posts torching the press’ credibility.

Like many who support First Amendment rights, Greenwald was jarred by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s unreal remarks concerning the First Amendment. In short, it appears the liberal jurist doesn’t seem to know its purpose: yes, by design, this part of the Bill of Rights prevents the government from censoring speech. Katie wrote about Brown’s position during oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri: “The Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in Murthy v. Missouri. At the center of the case is the federal government's coercing of social media companies to take down stories and content bureaucrats deemed "misinformation" during the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of censorship was repeatedly touted by the Biden White House.”

This is the most horrifying thing I've ever heard from a Supreme Court Justice. Ketanji Brown-Jackson is concerned that the First Amendment is making it harder for the government to censor speech. That's literally the entire point. Glenn Greenwald further dissected Brown’s remarks, even thanking her for not leaving a shred of doubt concerning where she stands on this issue.
