Chairman Jordan Statement on Murthy v. Missouri Supreme Court Ruling
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) released the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Murthy v. Missouri:
"The First Amendment is first for a reason, and the freedom of expression should be protected from any infringement by the government. Our country benefits when ideas can be tested and debated fairly on their merits, whether online or in the halls of Congress. The Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have uncovered how and the extent to which the Biden Administration engaged in a censorship campaign in violation of the First Amendment. While we respectfully disagree with the Court's decision, our investigation has shown the need for legislative reforms, such as the Censorship Accountability Act, to better protect Americans harmed by the unconstitutional censorship-industrial complex. Our important work will continue."
