House Judiciary Chairman Jordan and 44 other Members of Congress have submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in Murthy v. Missouri, a significant free speech case. The Congress members are concerned about the violation of the Constitution and the infringement of civil liberties by the Biden Administration. The House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have been investigating the executive branch's collaboration with social media companies to censor speech.

Chairman Jordan stated, "The First Amendment is first for a reason. Through our constitutional oversight, we have uncovered evidence that the Biden Administration directed and coerced Big Tech companies to censor content online and even books. With the Supreme Court set to hear one of the most important free speech cases in years, 45 Senators and Representatives filed this brief to share Congress's findings and urge the Court to uphold the free speech rights of American citizens."

Senator Marshall also expressed concern about the Biden Administration's attack on conservative thought and First Amendment rights: "Now, more than ever, it's so important that we stand up and fight back against the Left's endless pursuit to silence and censor hardworking Americans! That is why I am proud to support this amicus brief. Too much is at stake in our country; we must do everything we can to uphold the First Amendment as our founding fathers intended."

The evidence gathered by the investigations conducted by Congress supports the lower courts' decisions. Representative Dan Bishop noted, "The evidence is clear - the Biden administration has continuously and relentlessly pressured private companies to suppress the lawful speech of American citizens. This case is crucial in the fight for free speech, and I'm glad to join this critical amicus brief with America First Legal and my House colleagues."

America First Legal, led by Chairman Jordan and 44 other members of Congress, has filed the amicus brief. Stephen Miller, President of America First Legal, emphasized the importance of the battle against mass censorship resulting from the collaboration between Big Government and Big Tech. Miller stated, "We will never waver in our legal battle to restore freedom in America and stop the repressive forces of censorship."

The amicus brief filed by House Judiciary Chairman Jordan and other Members of Congress highlights the concern over the violation of the Constitution and the suppression of free speech. It urges the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the First Amendment rights of American citizens. The evidence obtained through investigations into the Biden Administration's collaboration with social media companies supports the need for this legal action. The battle against censorship and the protection of civil liberties remain crucial in today's society.
