The judge asked the feds if they had ever read George Orwell’s 1984, pointing out the similarities between the case and the book.

The judge questioned the feds on several hypotheticals, asking if the First Amendment applied. He asked if an American citizen questioning the safety or efficacy of masks or a vaccine was protected under the First Amendment.

The feds' answer?
"It COULD be" but often won’t be.
The judge also asked Biden's lawyers if the First Amendment covered Americans' right to say that Biden is responsible for high gas prices and inflation.

Their answer?
It depends.
The judge also pointed out that it seemed to be only conservatives who are targeted for their speech, asking the feds if they could provide one example of a liberal who was censored due to "misinformation."

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the Court asked the feds why he should believe them when they say they claim censorship has stopped and won’t happen again.

And that is exactly why we are asking the Court for a preliminary injunction to halt this vast censorship enterprise.
