While I tend to be libertarian on issues like this, I have to ask this question:
If I, as a private citizen, coerce someone into silence, am I violating their civil rights? If I coerce a group of people as a private citizen, am I? And assume I am not breaking some law to do so, like pointing a gun or making threats such as burning down one's house with them in it, etc.
This this this.
I once filed a lawsuit and included in it a questionable claim that I believed I would be able to prove later. During a motion to dismiss that particular count, the Judge looked at me and said, "Son, it's ready, aim, fire not the other way around. Motion granted without prejudice."
As a side note, I have defended a few clients in front of that same judge and when arguing motions dismiss I usually lead with, "A wise man once told me it was "Ready, aim fire, not the other way around." I can just about always catch him smiling as he grants my motion.
Mike opened his “Frank-a-Thon,” an all-day interview, with Dershowitz by announcing that “My Pillow” is suing Dominion for $1.6 billion for violating their First Amendment Right.
Dershowitz explained why Dominion is guilty of violating the First Amendment Rights of Mike Lindell as well as the rights of the media to report the news: “We’re gonna sue you and put you out of business, and we’re not even going to let you see our source codes so you can see what we’re suing you about.”
Dershowitz blasted Dominion for refusing to share its source code. “It’s as if My Pillow ere accused of having some secret poison in its formula, and you couldn’t tell it by just looking at the pillow, and then somehow My Pillow said, we’re not going to give your our formula, we’re going to hide it from you. That’s what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to hide what they’re doing—at the same time that they’re trying to prevent you from entering the marketplace of ideas. They’re in the marketplace of ideas. They’re not only in the marketplace of ideas; they’re in the economic marketplace too. They’re to shut you out of being able to sell your products in stores. They’re trying to silence you, and they’re doing it as the government of the United States. That’s why I’m in this case.

Another assumption. Fire aim ready. That's not the only other solution. I'm not suggesting the government is requesting it. I specifically said the people. You just recalled your lesson the judge gave you and you're refusing to apply it.
That is rather ridiculous. It doesn't take a Harvard Law professor to know that the First Amendment only prohibits the government from abridging the right to free speech. The First Amendment does not prohibit a private company, such as Dominion, or private individuals from restricting speech. Any idiot should know that private companies are not bound by the confines of the First Amendment. Mr. Harvard Law (Dershowitz) has lost his mind.Mike opened his “Frank-a-Thon,” an all-day interview, with Dershowitz by announcing that “My Pillow” is suing Dominion for $1.6 billion for violating their First Amendment Right.

The government created the laws, processes, and procedures to assure everyone of a free and fair election to begin with so having them make the machines seems like a redundancy.Excuse me? You have presented a problem, you think a private company should release its proprietary information upon government demand. None will comply and, quite frankly, to request it is unamerican. The only solution to your particular problem is for the government to create the code and machines that will run it, but you don't trust the government so that presents the same set of problems to you again.
