Trump-loving MyPillow CEO claims First Amendment right to lie about voting tech companies https://t.co/kHe9h2uCqF

“Our position is that Dominion is the government, for purposes of the First Amendment," Dershowitz said. "The government delegated to them the most important governmental function, mainly counting votes in a presidential election, and they are therefore subject to criticism in the exact same ways that the government would be subject to criticism in that situation, and criticism of how the government conducted a presidential election is the highest bar protecting the First Amendment right to criticize such action."
Alan Dershowitz is officially a joke. But don’t take my word for it.
And it doesn't stop there:
MyPillow’s super-frivolous cross-complaint is largely based on the premise that Dominion is a state actor because it provides election tech to the government, which is very silly. https://t.co/0GzZFxCf4W

MyPillow's countersuit against Dominion falsely (and stupidly) claims that Dominion was a state actor, and therefore can be sued for constitutional violations. pic.twitter.com/w3Fak14uqL

Due process is a governmental obligation. I can't deny you due process; only the government can. Dominion, despite this "defense," is not a government actor nor agent. What this countersuit establishes, primarily, is that no one on Lindell's legal team is a First Amendment lawyer. Because even the non-First Amendment lawyers can see these pleadings are a joke. The lawyers behind this pleading aren't even good lawyers. What little I've seen reads like it was written by Lin Woods; or by Lindell himself.Just a short hop from "Facebook is violating muh First Amendment rights" to "Dominion didn't give me muh due process before they sued me." pic.twitter.com/HZQ6nKshhQ
