Court rules that Trump can't block loons on Twitter; big implications for Democrats

Unlike most of the rulings against Trump this one isn't blatantly unconstitutional.  The court ruled that because Twitter is a forum for public debate banning people from following Trump restricted their first Amendment rights.

There are some problems with that. For example does that mean that since newspapers and on-line sites publish letters to the editor that everyone is entitled to have their letter published?  Further if Trump was having a big speech would he be unable to throw out hecklers?

But overall any decision that increases free speech today is probably a good one.

What is interesting is that Ocasio-Cortez is being sued because she blocked a Democrat from her Twitter feed.

I suspect that pretty much every politician who uses Twitter has blocked some people.  It will be interesting to see if Ocasio-Cortez just stops blocking people or if she asserts that the ruling only applies to Trump not Democrats.

Given the propensity of Democrat politicians to believe that there are two sets of laws, one for our rulers and another for Republicans and we the people, it wouldn't be a surprise if Democrats said that they can block people on their Twitter feeds.

Whatever happens it will be fun to watch.
