Ep. 210: The First Amendment at the Supreme Court

"I have never seen a Supreme Court term that is as consequential as this one is going to be," said FIRE Chief Counsel Bob Corn-Revere, previewing this term's First Amendment cases. On today's show, we analyze the oral arguments in four of those cases: NRA v. Vullo, Murthy v. Missouri (formerly Missouri v. Biden), Moody v. NetChoice, LLC, and NetChoice, LLC, v. Paxton. We also discuss the court's decision in two cases involving government officials blocking their critics on social media. Joining the show are Corn-Revere, FIRE General Counsel Ronnie London, and FIRE Director of Public Advocacy Aaron Terr.   Timestamps   0:00 Introduction 3:29 NRA v. Vullo 26:05 Murthy v.
