Federal Appeals Court Intervention Required After Judge Blocks Constitutional Case

May 22, 2025

For years, X Corp has systematically suppressed my biblical posts and research. After years of this systematic suppression, my wife, an attorney, filed a constitutional lawsuit presenting an unprecedented question: When X Corp's owner Elon Musk simultaneously serves as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has publicly committed to assisting President Trump 1-2 days per week indefinitely, donated $300+ million to Trump's campaign, receives $15.4 billion in government contracts, (continuing massively even after he "cuts" spending through DOGE) maintains ongoing financial and personal entanglements with the administration, and operates extensive back-channel communications with government officials, does platform censorship become government action violating the First Amendment?

Rather than address these constitutional questions, Federal Judge Brantley Starr has spent months creating procedural obstacles to avoid ruling on the merits. The judge even mischaracterized our case as being solely about Musk's "temporary" DOGE position, ignoring the extensive and ongoing government entanglement we've documented. Despite claiming to champion religious freedom, Judge Starr has systematically blocked our case through contradictory rulings and arbitrary requirements.

Yesterday, we were forced to file our second emergency petition with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. This shouldn't be necessary, but when federal judges refuse to follow their own rules, appellate intervention becomes essential.

This case represents the first legal challenge to unprecedented government entanglement with social media censorship. The legal process continues, but these constitutional questions deserve answers.
