Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s timeless observation about censorship found renewed relevance this week as Federal Judge Terry Doughty took a staunch stand against the Biden administration’s attempts at online censorship.
Kennedy had poignantly noted, “There has never been a time in history when the people who were censoring free speech, and books, and burning books were good guys.”
Judge Doughty echoed this sentiment in a comprehensive, 155-page ruling issued on Tuesday.
The injunction inhibits numerous key players within the Biden administration, including Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Jen Easterly who leads the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with a host of Department of Justice and FBI employees.
In his ruling, Doughty outlined how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time marked by uncertainty, the U.S. Government appeared to morph into an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’.

The judge declared, “This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.”
The ruling, delivered in the case of Missouri v. Biden on Independence Day, found the Biden administration embroiled in a broad censorship campaign.
Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt, expressing his approval of the ruling, said, “A Federal Judge in Missouri v. Biden just granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting the FBI, DOJ, DHS & other agencies from working with Big Tech to censor on social media. Big win for the First Amendment on this Independence Day. I’m proud to have led the fight.”
Clay Travis commended the ruling, stating, “Joe Biden’s federal government engaged in the most direct attack on the first amendment in US history through social media censorship.” He encouraged everyone to read the ruling, describing it as, “The most significant first amendment opinion of the covid era so far. Bravo Judge Doughty. LSU law grad, by the way. He did every Bayou Bengal proud with this one.”
However, Former Attorney General Eric Holder was dismissive of the ruling, declaring, “Well, this is pretty stupid. And potentially dangerous.”
Kennedy’s poignant reminder about the dangers of censorship rings true as ever, resonating in this landmark ruling. As these events unfold, the necessity of safeguarding our First Amendment rights becomes ever more evident.
