After the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Monday in the case of Murthy v. Missouri, which examines what constitutes persuasion versus coercion and addresses the Biden administration’s ability to communicate with and direct social media companies, Sen. Eric Schmitt urged Americans not to be discouraged by the skepticism implied by the justices’ questions.
According to the Missouri Republican, “I thought the arguments yesterday went well,” in a Tuesday interview with News. “The record is very clear.”

When Schmitt was attorney general in 2022, he filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration for “allegedly colluding with social media giants,” primarily to censor free speech related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 election results. Schmitt joined forces with then-attorney general Jeff Landry of Louisiana in this lawsuit.
Published accounts indicate that most of the Court expressed skepticism over Schmitt and Landry’s complaint, asserting that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana had rendered an incorrect decision.
