The First Amendment is under attack in America's Oceania

The Supreme Court just heard arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, a case that raises important First Amendment issues and exposes government censorship efforts.

Last October, when considering a lower court order prohibiting further censorship, Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch described the case as “a coordinated campaign by high-level federal officials to suppress the expression of disfavored views on important public issues.” Indeed, the case highlights troubling tactics of the Biden administration that are better suited to the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s fictional totalitarian state, Oceania, in his frighteningly prescient novel, 1984.
