rahaeli: Content moderation is the SOLUTION to the fucking heckler's veto, motherfucker

oh wow, Justice Sotomayor is having absolutely none of this shit.

REFERENCE TO PRUNEYARD, DRINK

"Our law doesn't regulate Etsy's ability to regulate the goods being sold! It just regulates the user generated content!" THE USER GENERATED CONTENT ARE THE LISTINGS OF THE GOODS BEING FUCKING SOLD, MOTHERFUCKER

(Other people are doing, like, serious livetweets and stuff. I'm just heckling.)

Roberts, dryly: "Is there any aspect of social media you think IS protected by the First Amendment?"

The motherfucker arguing for Moody did NOT just try to say that content moderation is the heckler's fucking veto

Content moderation is the SOLUTION to the fucking heckler's veto, motherfucker

Lawyer for Moody correctly spots that arguing with Roberts about a decision he authored is perhaps not the smartest tactical move

Citation to Tornillo, drink!

I really wish I were better at recognizing voices

Lawyer for Moody: "The consistency provision is really just a CONSUMER PROTECTION measure --" Kavanaugh: "...and could the goverment apply that to bookstores? Newspapers?"

(The government's argument that this is a contractual issue is absolutely a fucking figleaf for content and viewpoint regulation and no court in the country has bought the argument that they are selling yet.)

PRUNEYARD REFERENCE, DRINK

Clarence Thomas has voted in support of almost every censorship issue for the past decade or two, often being the lone dissent. Alito can be harder to guess, but I think he's pissed people are free to insult him online. Not sure abut Justice Handmaiden. I think 7-2 or 6-3 to strike down.

If they all spoke in terrible accents it would both serve a purpose and make these things much much funnier

Sometimes it’s really hard. This is the bane of all transcriptionists, too many people with Genteel White Lawyer Man Voice or Authoritative White Lawyer Woman Voice

right?!? like the Recieved Wisdom here is that if you need to go down the "Tell The Court Why We're Wrong" avenue, you'd best have a monster of a brief to back it up. and what they have is....Definitely Not That 😂

This needs the goose meme. :)

AMEN.
