Court Grants RFK Jr Standing in Censorship Case Against Biden Administration

 Anthony Gonzalez (resistthemainstream.com)  

"Shortly before endorsing the former president, Kennedy held a press conference, where he issued a scathing rebuke of the Democratic Party, accusing it of waging “continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself.'”

 "In a major win for former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a district court has ruled that Kennedy and his charity, Children’s Health Defense (CHD), can rightfully sue the Biden administration for allegedly working with Big Tech to censor their social media posts.

"The Louisiana district court’s ruling comes after the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 majority vote, struck down a similar injunction in Murthy v. Missouri, ruling that plaintiffs lacked standing because they did not present sufficient evidence that the government engaged in unlawful actions.

"In Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court delivered a blow for the plaintiffs — two states and five social media users — who argued that the Biden administration was engaging in online censorship.

"However, in Kennedy’s case against the federal government, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty — a Trump appointee — ruled that the former independent presidential candidate and his “anti-vaccine” charity met the criteria for standing.

" 'The Court finds that Kennedy is likely to succeed on his claim that suppression of content posted was caused by actions of Government Defendants, and there is a substantial risk that he will suffer similar injury in the near future,” Doughty wrote in his decision." . . .
