I’m going to wrap up some arguments that have been going deep into threads
1: The US Press publishes “newsworthy” illegally obtained material
This has been true at least since the Pentagon Papers, so ~40 years
2: US social media has no rule against publishing illegally obtained material. This was clearly seen when the NYT published Trump tax information before the 2016 election, and promoted said reports on social media
3: US social media had no rule against publishing illegally obtained material. This was clearly seen when the NYT published Trump tax information before the 2020 election, and promoted said reports on social media
4: When a person legally obtains an individual’s tax information for his / her job / private use, and then gives that information to the NYT to publish, that person has committed a crime. So unless you’re going to claim that Trump personally gave his tax information to the NYT, we know that a crime occurred when it was published. 5: So Social media’s attempts to suppress the information that came from Hunter Biden’s laptop was not in support of any principle or law
It was the deliberate suppression of information of public interest because it harmed the private interest of the tech billionaires who wish to be our overlords.

1: No honest vote counter blocks poll watchers from doing their job. 2: It is a generally accepted rule in international elections monitoring that "blocked poll watchers" == "fraudulent election outcome." See: Uganda, Jan 2021. 3: I know that Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, are are on clear public record as having blocked Trump campaign poll watchers. Those right there are enough to flip the election 4: Therefore any claim that "of course the election was honest and fair, and anyone who claims otherwise is a nut" is a statement utterly lacking in principle or value, and to make that claim is to self identify as a nut. 5: http://wkow.com/2020/11/13/concerns-over-indefinitely-confined-voting-law-as-thousands-use-the-option-due-to-covid-19/ In 2016 there were ~60k "indefinitely confined" absentee voters in WI (IC voters can vote absentee without providing State issued photo ID.

I finally realized what the false equivalence is that makes for mutual incomprehension across the Left - Right divide There are two questions you have to answer in a "Constitutional Rights" case in order to find something protected by the US Constitution 1: Is this a right protected by the US Constitution? If not, you stop here 2: How should this right be implemented in the modern world Do you have a right to keep the government out of your person and property absent a legitimate court order? Yes Then the gov't putting a GPS tracker on your car w/o a warrant is a violation of the 4th Amendment Do you have a right to freedom of speech and writing? Yes So the gov't can't censor you on Twitter Do you have a right to keep and bear arms? Yes So the gov't can't stop you from owning an AR-15 or a Glock 17 Do you have a right to have an abortion? No The right did not exist when the Constitution was ratified. It did not exist when the 14th Amendment was ...
