      Seems very plausible that the president blocking people on Twitter could constitute a First Amendment abridgment http://www.nationallawjournal.com/legaltimeshome/id=1202792711986 …

      He's preventing people from engaging in a certain form of political speech (@'ing him) on the basis of their prior speech (critical tweets)

          Did he block them from his @realDonaldTrump or @POTUS ? Obama did the same, difference was we weren't crybabies tying up the courts w/BS.

          If so, that would also mean that twitter couldn't suspend accounts for anything said to anyone in elected office. On same 1A grounds.

          “Congress shall make no law…" I missed the part where using a private service is a law.

          That's not what the 1st Amdmt says:"Congress shall make no law...prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech"

          Key assumption is "public forum" part. Private twitter account unlikely to be held as public forum.

          Face to face conversations between a president and a citizen would also be a form of political speech, but we don't mind that's limited.

          Why wouldn't that apply to all elected officials then? My State Senator blocked me on twitter.
