First Amendment group files new suit against Trump over blocked Twitter users

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - A group on Friday filed a new lawsuit against U.S. President Donald Trump demanding he unblock additional Twitter users from viewing his account.
Trump lost a prior lawsuit in May 2018 on behalf of other Twitter users and agreed to unblock those accounts. The new lawsuit filed by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University in U.S. District Court in Manhattan is on behalf of five additional individuals who remain blocked.
The White House and Twitter did not immediately comment.
Katie Fallow, senior staff attorney at the Knight Institute, said "it shouldnt take another lawsuit to get the president to respect the rule of law and to stop blocking people simply because he doesnt like what theyre posting."

(308 posts)You must be joking. Trump respect the rule of law? Ha, ha, ha. What world are you living in?
BTW, Trump's sudden lack of media buys for August is puzzling. Wonder if Brad has him by the little ones and Trump can't do anything until he pays up BIGLY? After all, Brad does own all the mailing lists and campaign data. Guess Trump screwed up BIGLY by subcontracting the important stuff out to a sharpie who made all the right noises at the right time -- and not reading the fine print in the contract. Or maybe Ivanka and Jarad are temporary consultants to the campaign for a $25 Million / month fee? Stay tuned for details.
