Donald Trump leads Joe Biden by 10 points in new poll of the 2024 US presidential race You think this is the first time that Executive or other Branches has "coerced" media, or even attempted (and succeeded) to suppress speech, or other Constitutional rights of We the People? Let's look at this little sliver of previous "examples", shall we? The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which were passed by a Federalist-controlled Congress and signed into law by President John Adams. These laws made it illegal to publish false, malicious, or defamatory statements about the government or its officials. They were widely criticized for violating the First Amendment, and they were repealed by the Jefferson administration in 1801. The Espionage Act of 1917, which was passed during World War I to prevent espionage and sedition. The act was used to prosecute people who spoke out against the war or criticized the government. One of the most famous cases was that of Eugene V. Debs, a socialist leader who was sentenced to ten years in prison for a speech in which he urged people to resist the draft. The Palmer Raids of 1919-1920, which were a series of raids by the Justice Department on suspected radicals and anarchists. The raids were carried out without warrants, and many people were arrested and detained without charge. The raids were widely condemned as a violation of civil liberties. The McCarthy era of the 1950s, during which Senator Joseph McCarthy and his allies made unsubstantiated accusations of communism against government officials and other individuals. McCarthy's campaign of fear and intimidation led to many people being blacklisted and losing their jobs. The Nixon administration's "enemies list" of journalists and other individuals who were considered to be critical of the administration. The administration used the list to target its opponents for harassment and intimidation. And finally... The Trump administration's attacks on the media, which he frequently labeled as "fake news." Trump also repeatedly attacked individual journalists, calling them names and threatening to revoke their White House press passes. All of those examples are facts. There are plenty more. Now, excuse my thick head as I ask again... What are you trying to say? Edited September 30, 2023 by turbguy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asking for a friend of course...he is also asking for link's demonstrating such actions? Facts are "BS" now? OK... The Courts at all levels, have frequently played a role in protecting freedom of speech from government overreach. The Supreme Court has struck down many laws that have been used to suppress free speech. I would rather just name the cases, then feel free to dig them up. The courts cannot always protect free speech or other rights. The Supreme Court's decisions on free speech are not always unanimous. There have been strong disagreements among the justices about how to interpret the First Amendment. That said, the Supreme Court has consistently held that free speech is one of the most important rights protected by the Constitution. It is also up to the We the People to defend fundamental rights, whether done through the Courts, or through the Ballot Box. Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969): The Supreme Court ruled that students have the right to express their political views in school, even if the school administration does not agree with those views. New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964): The Supreme Court ruled that public figures cannot sue for defamation unless they can prove that the defendant published the false statement with actual malice. This decision has made it more difficult for public figures to silence their critics. Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969): The Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot prohibit speech that advocates for illegal activity, unless the speech is likely to incite imminent lawless action. This decision has protected a wide range of speech, including hate speech and political dissent. Texas v. Johnson (1989): The Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot prohibit the burning of the American flag. This decision was based on the First Amendment's protection of symbolic speech. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010): The Supreme Court ruled that corporations and unions have the right to spend money on independent political campaigns. This decision made it easier for wealthy "entities" to influence elections. Need more? Just which parts of the Constitution does #45 want to discard or ignore?? Again, please excuse my thick head...

Well, finally, thank you for your clarification. Yes, that is probably true, but is it unique? Here are some examples of cases where the Supreme Court has suppressed the Executive Branch's actions: United States v. Nixon (1974): The Supreme Court ruled that President Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed tapes to the Watergate special prosecutor. This decision led to Nixon's resignation. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952): The Supreme Court ruled that President Truman did not have the authority to seize steel mills during the Korean War. This decision limited the president's power to take unilateral action. Trump v. Hawaii (2018): The Supreme Court blocked #45's travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries. This decision limited the president's power to restrict immigration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judge at Trump civil fraud trial implores media to stop Judge at Trump civil fraud trial implores media to stop saying he valued Mar-a-Lago at $18M By Ben Kochman and Priscilla DeGregory Published Oct. 2, 2023, 6:22 p.m. ET The Manhattan judge deciding Donald Trump’s fate at his civil fraud trial Monday stood by the $18 million valuation of the former president’s sprawling Mar-a-Lago estate — despite real estate experts blasting the estimate as “utterly delusional.” Justice Arthur Engoron again rejected Trump’s claims that Mar-a-Lago is worth $1 billion in favor of the much lower valuation issued by local Florida officials. However, Engoron implored the media to stop reporting that he’d been the one to value the golf club and resort at $18 million — the low end of a determination made by the Palm Beach assessor that has left many real estate industry insiders perplexed. One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker labeled the valuation “utterly delusional” to The Post. “Please, press, stop saying that I valued it at $18 million,” Engoron pleaded, as the trial kicked off in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ $250 million lawsuit against the former president, the Trump Organization and sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The judge interjected the comment as Trump lawyer Alina Habba had been repeating during her opening remarks that the Palm Beach estate would sell for roughly $1 billion — a figure that Engoron rejected last week in a bombshell ruling. In his decision, Engoron — who is deciding the trial rather than a jury — cited a local Palm Beach County official saying the country club had been assessed at a range of between $18 million and $27 million between 2011 and 2021. In the same decision, Engoron rejected Trump’s expert’s valuation that the Florida estate was worth $1.5 billion, finding the expert’s opinion “unexplained and unsubstantiated ‘dream[s.]'” Industry experts were left scratching their heads at the Palm Beach assessor’s seemingly low estimation, claiming that the resort would list closer to $300 million. https://nypost.com/2023/10/02/judge-implores-media-to-stop-saying-he-valued-mar-a-lago-at-18m/ In 2022, Forbes estimated the value of the estate at around $350 million.[25] Forbes said that 'Real estate experts outside of Palm Beach guessed that the place was worth more than $200 million. Brokers on the island thought it could be worth far more, with the most aggressive estimate coming in at $725 million. When Forbes last valued the property in March, we went with a conservative $350 million.' In a 2022 lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, it was alleged that Trump inflated the value of Mar-a-Lago to $739 million, when the property should actually be valued at $75 million.[39] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-Lago#:~:text=In 2022%2C Forbes estimated the,coming in at %24725 million.

Mar-a-Lago...has a conservation easement over the entire property...........owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation the property will never change from what it is today........... How many people need a clubhouse.........????? that is not a home????? https://www.moorhead-law.com/single-post/2016/10/17/trump-s-golf-courses-expose-conservation-quagmire In 1995, (Trump) put an easement on his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida that protected the historic features of the building. Trump later expanded the easement to limit home development on the property all the pie in the sky valuations you posted forget this fact.... Industry experts were left scratching their heads at the Palm Beach assessor’s seemingly low estimation, claiming that the resort would list closer to $300 million.....????? They missed the conservation easement, it is owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Good luck finding a developer to buy Mar a Lago at any price.
