If Trump can't block twitter users on his personal account...

Red_Princess 87 points ago +87 / -0

I'm hijacking this comment to ask you a question. If Trump's comment section on Twitter was ruled as a public forum, and he was ruled by a judge not to block people because it restricts their access to "the public square", (he can still mute people, so the ruling is arguably fair in that he still has the ability to protect himself from abuse), then .... when Twitter BANS the president, and therefore bans ALL the comment sections on ALL of his tweets ... didn't Twitter violate the law by destroying multiple public squares???

Yes, but of course liberals don’t care about the law

That's why you make your lawsuit in Texas.

LibertyPrimeWasRight 22 points ago +23 / -1

And then the Supreme Court refuses to hear it.

However, on this occasion you get the ruling from a Texas court and the Supreme Court have to either allow that ruling to stand or set a precedent that breaches their own prior precedent.

Explain the downside?

I'd say the Texas lower court should rule on it, Supreme court denies the appeal, and since it's denied at the State level, they can't appeal to the Supreme court, problem solved.

1
Trump__Supporter 1 point ago +1 / -0

Don't let it go to the supreme court.
Deny all appeals to the Texas Supreme court.
Can't go to the SCOTUS if it can't get past a State court.

Apparenlty Republicans don't either.

Some of us do... although that’s probably gonna change because I have a feeling we’re leaving the republican party

HockeyMom4Trump 12 points ago +12 / -0

Yes. Twitter blocked our opportunity to directly comment to the president.

YouTube is doing it with Biden now. Turn on the comments! Stop the censorship, fuckwads.

We're not using logic in this culture anymore. If we were, people would know that covid isn't too deadly, black people are not unfairly targeted by police, the election was stolen, etc.

You're trying to use a logic key to open a lock that does not use logic. Something else is happening. We're dealing with emotion or indoctrination or something else.

RiffFantastic 3 points ago +3 / -0

True. And the first clear sign of that was comment blocking.

Hate.

FuckRioters 3 points ago +3 / -0

I personally think they made the wrong call, however, if these are the rules, they must be applied equally.

Compared to what happened with Trump, that was his personal twitter, whereas this is an official government account. So, whatever defense they would have is much weaker although I suppose we'll see the courts be super-biased as always.

Captnyestrday 3 points ago +3 / -0

Obviously. Now find a court that gives a fuck about the Constitution or previous rulings.

1
Red_Princess 1 point ago +1 / -0

I read the constitution recently, started after the election to try and understand wtf is going on and just finished it. I can tell you we have not been following that thing for a while it CLEARLY states a bunch of stuff we are not doing and there are amendments on top of amendments that even contradict each other.

First thing I thought when I saw comments disabled... But democrats control everything now, laws don't apply to them

Good. Can't wait for one of our many conservative lawyers to sue them. The Left does that all the time.

....rigging a national election is probably illegal too but they did that right out in the open with no fucks given.

DJT2020 15 points ago +16 / -1

They did a lot of work with lawyers and judges months before voting started. That may be the way to go at them.

RedditIs4Retards 13 points ago +13 / -0

Try years. They own all the SCOTUS and small courts as well. Man you really been asleep haven't you.

Dystopiaslayer 5 points ago +6 / -1

they also own those cucks named alito and thomas. alito/thomas agreed 'NO RELIEF SHALL BE GRANTED EVEN IF WE HEAR THE ARGUMENTS'

Thomas is a stupid faggot then. Same with Kavanaugh.

Dumbass retards bent over and let Biden shaft them right up the ass.

Stealing the election and installing a demented pedophile who couldn't find the tv remote much less use it is also unconstitutional. Just saying.

Cloraxland_ 11 points ago +11 / -0

Wouldnt it only apply to selective blocking. If there was no forum in the first place I wouldnt think the public forum argument would apply.

13
NYC_4_Trump 13 points ago +14 / -1

I don't believe so. It would be like the WH blocking all mail sent to it. The citizenry has an expectation to speak (or at least believe it is speaking) to the President. Not replying to mail is one thing. Banning all mail is quite another.

Trump couldn't block haters on Twitter. Biden can't block people on YT.

Of course, this is topsy turvy world, and everything Dems do is some form of great and amazing. So, it just might stand.

Barnes is ok with election fraud despite clear evidence as long as some judge somewhere ruled its fine. But went on weeks lone rants about tweets.

Fucking shill.

Yup, all of these grifting lawyers, getting that sweet airtime to get some clients. That's how they do it, and they don't even have to win.

Youtube deleting Trump's videos while still seating as POTUS also unconstitutional

They went around Trump's vow to say America will never be Socialist or Communist by installing Fascism.

Has he blocked people on his twatter feed yet?

2
Brulz_Lulz 2 points ago +2 / -0

They are so blatantly afraid of any forum where they cannot explicitly control the message. Because they know the country hates them.

Purple_Drank 2 points ago +2 / -0

So what are you going to do about it Robert Barnes? Tweeting that it is “likely” unconstitutional does nothing unless you drop bombs in the form of lawsuits on the Biden regime

2
RedditIsCommunist 2 points ago +2 / -0

What can I say? Unconstitutional stuff leads to more unconstitutional stuff.

2
Dr_Pooper 2 points ago +2 / -0

So was the election. So was the Meuller investigation. So is restricting gatherings, 2A, 1A, etc. They do not care, and will continue to do so while people complain instead of doing what needs to be done.

happyfeetmah 2 points ago +2 / -0

YouTube is a private company, they don’t need to follow the Constitution. This is America, land of the free, the Constitution isn’t going to tell us what to do,...

Unconstitutional? What do you think this is, a free republic with a constitution? Nah, this is a banana republic now.

If the reply button on Trump's twitter is a public forum, so is that comment section.

2
rufrignkidnme 2 points ago +2 / -0

THIS is unconstitutional? The whole god damn government is unconstitutional.

the constitution is a genius document.. but it's a damn poor shield against people who can't read.

The only thing left of the United States is the rhetoric. This is new Amerika.

JesusLovesTrump 2 points ago +2 / -0

If it's unconstitutional for Trump to block commies, then it is also unconstitutional for them to turn off comments.

(if the country ran as it is supposed to)

So sue them. You are a lawyer. The SC would have to rule consistently with their ruling on Trumps twitter

If the news paper sends you news you dont like, you can send them a letter, so send twitter a PRIVATE company a letter. Just use another web sight sheeple.
