Louisiana is preparing to present oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court in the case of Murthy v. Missouri. This legal battle, led by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill and Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga, addresses issues concerning alleged government censorship.
The proceedings are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST on Monday, March 18, in Washington D.C. The case has garnered attention due to its focus on First Amendment rights and accusations against the federal government of conducting an extensive censorship campaign.
In a statement, officials highlighted that over 20,000 pages of documents and more than 100 pages of fact findings from a district judge support their claims against what they describe as "Biden’s censorship enterprise." They argue this represents a significant violation of free speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment.
The case is considered one of the most critical First Amendment challenges in recent history. "Freedom of speech is one of the most important liberties we have as Americans," stated those involved in the case. They seek a ruling from the Supreme Court that will affirm the importance of protecting speech from government interference.
