It's not a "ruling", it's a "refusal to hear the case", which effectively removes the injunction. They made no comment on the legality of the administration's actions.
Edit: jfc, lol @ the debate around whether or not to call it a "ruling". The government can continue to talk to social media companies for now regardless of whatever the hell you call it. I regret contributing to this lol.
- lesuorac 2y ago> 83 F. 4th 350, reversed and remanded. Is a ruling. It reverses the decision in "83 F. 4th 350" also known as Murthy v Missouri [1]. [1]: https://casetext.com/case/murthy-v-missouri-3 https://casetext.com/case/murthy-v-missouri-3
- otterley 2y agoIt indeed is a ruling, but it's not a ruling that "US Government Can Continue Talking to Social Media Companies." It's a ruling that this specific case cannot be heard as presented.
- chatmasta 2y agoIt’s a ruling against the injunction, not a ruling on the merits of the case.
- lesuorac 2y agoAnd the injunction prohibited the USG from talking to Social Medial Companies. This ruling removes the injunction, Therefore, SCOTUS rules that USG can talk to Social Media Companies.
- otterley 2y agoThat's not how lawyers think about this, and since this is a legal case, if they don't, neither should the rest of us.
- lesuorac 2y agoWe're talking about the headline of a news article. The standard shouldn't be what would a lawyer claim. I would claim a lay-person would say that removing a limitation from doing X could be stated as allowing X.
- otterley 2y agoThe WSJ's headline is much better and not misleading: "Supreme Court Rejects GOP-Led Suit Claiming Government Censored Social Media".
- otterley 2y agoAnd it propagates all the way back down the stack (so to speak), meaning, the lower courts have to also refuse to hear the case. It doesn't mean they can't hear future cases where standing is clearly established.
