Former President Trump filed a lawsuit against tech companies, claiming his removal from those platforms violated his First Amendment rights. LPHS constitutional law attorney David Coale explains the lawsuit to KLIF News & Information in the Morning.

“If you pull out your pocket Constitution and look at the First Amendment, the first order of it is Congress...and it lists a bunch of stuff that Congress shall not do and then the 14th amendment applies that to the state legislatures.

These are private companies and they are regulated in a different way. It’s just not relevant to them.”
