That one is no humorous title, (in PS's opinion) as we use here on many posts written to compare and contrast, as the old English teacher would say. No, State of Missouri v. Biden is an actual court case that has made it up to the SCROTUS, with oral arguments to be made there the day after tomorrow - Monday, the 18th.

Peak Stupidity can't cover every Supreme Court case, even those that do concern the material we write about. However, it so happens that Mr. Jim Hoft, owner/operator of The Gateway Pundit, is one of the 7 plaintiffs. He is one of 5 individuals, while the other 2 are the States of Missouri and Louisiana.*

Jim Hoft has really made the big time with this, and I am glad for him for that. Regarding Jim Hoft's site, our review of Gateway Pundit noted that he/it is a force for good - we just hate a couple of minor things about the site, the sick and overwhelming ads and the hype.

This case is about censorship and violation of Amendment I of the US Constitution by the Dark Brandon Administration. It's not just the big "TECH" Anti-Social Media "platforms" that are being accused of wrongdoing. Were it these companies doing it on their own, that gets into the discussion Peak Stupidity joined in October '20 with Big-"Tech" censorship and Section 230. (That was just before the election, and President Trump had just gotten around to thinking hard about this! "Oh, yeah, I was busy tweeting last year ... guess I dropped the ball on this one ...") In this case, as per the accusations, the Bai Dien (switching back-and-forth at will here) Administration was involved. They'd been directing these companies to censor information. From the Justia Law site linked-to above:
The Plaintiffs—three doctors, a news website, a healthcare activist, and two states —had posts and stories removed or downgraded by the platforms. Their content touched on a host of divisive topics like the COVID-19 lab-leak theory. Plaintiffs maintain that although the platforms stifled their speech, the government officials were the ones pulling the strings. They sued the officials for First Amendment violations and asked the district court to enjoin the officials’ conduct.
The Feral Gov't official defendants claimed that no,
... they only “sought to mitigate the hazards of online misinformation” by “calling attention to content” that violated the “platforms’ policies,” a form of permissible government speech.
Yes, just calling attention, as they happened to be following it all, and enjoy reading the legal disclaimer pages in their spare time, and were just trying to make sure the platforms' policies are being followed, like a good nosy neighbor ... sure, that's the ticket.

Back to the 7 plaintiffs, just below is the list of them. For 3 of the other 4 individual plaintiffs, seeing as he has his website, Mr. Hoft has interviewed these doctors, one by one. (There are videos and transcriptions.) The name-links go to his GP pages on these three, from today and last week.

* Dr. Aaron Kheriaty
* Dr. Martin Kulldorff
* Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya
* Jim Hoft
* Jill Hines
* The State of Missouri
* The State of Louisiana

The 5th individual, Jill Hines, is a Conservative healthcare policy activist out of Ruston, Louisiana, Without going to facebook (a no-go site in these parts), the best short bio on Mrs. Hines is here on the Citizens for a New Lousiana site - she is 4th one down, just below Tiffany with the big ta-tas.

I am familiar with the location of the States of Missouri and Louisiana. I assume the reader is too.

This case is about big violations of Amendment I by the Feral Gov't. That the Fed have been violating most of the Bill of Rights for arguably half a century is nothing new. I like that this one has gotten to the SCROTUS, but also, this one heavily involves the Kung Flu PanicFest. One can see another process by which the narrative was formed. Because I'm not at all an Anti-Social Media guy, I might now have missed anything blocked via the censorship anyway. I'd been avoiding the mass Lyin' Press TV and websites for years already, so I'd find my own material on the PanicFest. However, I've chalked up the narrative control to American's proclivities to still follow TV and other big media. After seeing the complaints made by Jim Hoft, Missouri, et al, we can suppose that during the PanicFest many Americans would have gotten more truthful news off of these platforms and not been so... damned panicked.

Will the SCROTUS show integrity? We need 5 black-robed people with integrity. I think that's a lot to ask. I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty more from The Gateway Pundit on Monday, and then, IIRC, a few weeks later, when the SCROTUS decision is excreted.



* I don't know why Missouri gets top billing. Did they start the lawsuit up?

** We also posted an Addendum.

PS: Good morning, Achmed!

Yeah, those two economist articles do seem a bit out of character for Dieter. Not sure why google would promote them like that.(?)

In other news, I've been meaning to write more comments, but I've been off my groove the last few weeks. (There have been two driver's licensing posts that I've slacked on now.) I wish I could say I was getting plenty of work done, but that is not really the case. I have done some (maybe most?) of the spring cleaning around the yard. And the wind blew down part of the fence (surprised that didn't happen sooner) so that's all fixed, cleaned up, and hauled off.

The horseradish is up, so I guess it had no problem wintering over through the single digit cold spell this year. The jap maple is starting to put on buds.

But the best news is that we're getting a new mattress set delivered this afternoon. It's over due, but we've been putting it off because it's a bit difficult moving a king size mattress in and out of this place. The stairs are too narrow and steep so we have to lift it up to the front (upstairs) porch. I hope the new mattress rocks as much as it seems like it does. (It's really nice, but you never know until you sleep on it a while.)

So, that's what's going on here. Other than being a little off my groove, everything is fine and well.

I hope you and Mrs. Newman and family are all well and good and happy and such.

(Spring is in the air.)

Happy Monday! ☮️

PS: Thank you, Adam. I'll read over the right link shortly.

I didn't think even the Waffle House article of the one on the right way to do drugs sounded like Dieter Kief, haha.

PS: Good afternoon, Dieter. From that search, the first hit was: "On the curious and enduring appeal of Waffle House" It's pretty interesting, but not what you intended us to read, I'm sure.

PS
One aspect of Covid we discussed often becuase it is real ands did form these events too is the feminization of our (Western) public spheres.
Here is an aspect of it: google:
