The Biden-Harris administration is now on its way out – but the damage that opponents say it has done to free speech continues to reverberate, including in difficult legal battles.
The plaintiffs in one of those – Kennedy v. Biden – have suffered a setback, as the Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals on Monday decided against allowing the case to proceed to trial.
Children’s Health Defense (CHD), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Connie Sampognaro are seeking to sue the Biden White House for alleged censorship, including around topics related to the origin of Covid and vaccines.
The censorship, the plaintiffs claim, played out as the government pressured social platforms to implement it – which would be an instance of unconstitutional activity.
