    There's a pretty serious censorship movement in the USA which gets steadily ignored or minimized by people who love to proclaim themselves as champions of free speech.https://twitter.com/veronikellymars/status/1527264557651181568 …

        If it wasn't clear, that's from his campaign page & he's accusing THEM of censorship.https://www.tommy4va.com/

        i think accusing people who want absolute power of hypocrisy misses the point

        Fair. The right isn't hypocritical -- their goal of absolute power is clear. But I think there's some hypocrisy in the right's fellow travellers like Greenwald or Weiss who claim to be disinterested arbiters of free speech issues but are clearly aligned with one side.

        I skimmed the article and I couldn't tell if there was any legal argument at all behind the lawsuit. Obviously it would have to either a bad argument or a bad law, or both, but I couldn't see anything at all.

        It's going to lead to one of two things- getting thrown out until he brings it to the Supreme Court, where rogue justices will legislate *something* from the bench; or it will go nowhere, BUT it will inspire congressional repubs to make a new law
