Constitutional law attorney and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley weighed in on the Supreme Court’s decision in the frustrating anti-free speech ruling in Murthy v. Missouri.

Turley shared his thoughts with Dana Perino on America’s Newsroom.

“You call yourself a free speech absolutist,” Perino began, asking Turley, “What does this mean?”

“Well, it’s very frustrating for the free speech community because standing is often used to block meritorious claims,” Turley replied. “This is one of the most fundamental issues that we are facing.”

“I wrote about this issue, this case, in my recent book,” Turley continued. “You have one of the largest censorship systems in our history — if not the largest — it’s been called Orwellian by lower court judges. And what the court is saying is that ‘we won’t hear you on this issue because you’re not the right litigant.’”

“This issue will have to wait for another day,” he added. “One of the things that many of us have been arguing — for years — is that the government is engaging in censorship by surrogate. I testified about this in Congress — that they have made a mockery of the limits of the First Amendment by doing indirectly what they’re barred from doing directly.”
