Michael Ramirez: Dems: Burn it up! 12-6-22

From America's Premier Editorial Cartoonist

The Burnt offering: The Supreme Court case 303 vs Elenis. —Michael

At issue in the ongoing SCOTUS case is whether a web designer with a private business can be forced to create wedding sites for non-traditional marriages. I immediately thought, for the past 10 years or so, libs were so cool with Twitter and Facebook crushing conservative posts - their general opinion was that social media could not be compelled to provide equal service to conservatives “because they are private businesses and enjoy First Amendment rights”. A personal Facebook page is essentially the same kind of creative digital asset as a digital wedding site. Leaving aside the issues of their legal status as “public squares”, why should giant social media monopolies, for which an argument can be made for legally induced inclusive standards, have more rights to free speech than a citizen, for whom the First Amendment was written in the first place? —Melissa
