Update: Missouri V Biden Censorship Lawsuit
Judge Doughty DENIES Biden admin lawyers’ motion to stay the Preliminary Injunction ruling
On July 6th, the defendants submitted a motion to stay the preliminary injunction, which was a result of the ruling on the 4th of July. This ruling forces the defendants in the lawsuit to stop communications with Big Tech Platforms that would further undermine American’s 1st Amendment rights. The defendants also appealed the ruling in a document which was submitted prior to the motion to stay.
On July 8th, the plaintiffs responded to the request to stay the injunction, which was a 17 page response that suggested:
The Injunction Is Not Vague and Imposes No Cognizable Injury on Defendants.
Staying the Injunction Would Inflict Irreparable Injury on Plaintiffs.
The defendants are unlikely to succeed on merits.
The Court Should Again Reject Defendants' Request for an Administrative Stay.
NOTE: there was a corrective document filing which updated the plaintiffs challenge to the defendants motion to stay. Here is the updated 20 page memorandum.
On the 10th of July, Judge Terry Doughty who presides over the Missouri V Biden case, denied the request to stay the preliminary injunction ruling granted on the 4th of July. Judge Doughty also clarified the definition of “protected free speech.”
“Protected free speech” means speech which is protected by the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution in accordance with the jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court.
