“It’s not the government’s job to police the line between true speech and false speech. The Constitution doesn’t give our government that power. The government has the power to police the line between lawful speech and unlawful speech.”
Mark Chenoweth is the president and chief legal officer of the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), a nonpartisan civil rights group dedicated to protecting constitutional freedoms from government violations.
“Most people aren’t going to know why their speech was taken down off of the platform. They might assume that it was the private decision of Facebook, or X, or LinkedIn ... and it’s difficult to discover that it was actually the result of a government order,” says Mr. Chenoweth.
In this episode, we dive into the NCLA’s three lawsuits that have made their way up to the Supreme Court: Murthy v. Missouri (formerly known as Missouri v. Biden), Garland v. Cargill, and Relentless v. Dept. of Commerce.
“Agencies no longer look at the statute and say, ‘How do we best interpret this statute and apply it?’ Instead, they say, ‘How far can we push this and still get federal judges to go along with our ‘reasonable interpretation of the statute’?’ Well, that’s not a good dynamic to have in place. We need to get back to a world in which the agencies expect the judges to enforce the law as Congress wrote it,” says Mr. Chenoweth.
