President-elect Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn has joined Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s legal fight against the Biden administration. Kennedy, whom Trump has nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, has been locked in a legal battle with President Joe Biden's administration, which seeks to remove Kennedy's statements opposing COVID-19 vaccines from social media.
Flynn, who served as Trump's first national security adviser, pleaded guilty in 2017 to a charge of lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador before being pardoned by Trump in November 2020. The case against him was subsequently dropped.
On Wednesday, U.S. Circuit Judge Catharina Haynes ruled that Flynn had the right to file an amicus brief on Kennedy's behalf. An amicus brief is an expert opinion filed in court, typically on behalf of one side in a legal dispute. A judge must first grant approval before an amicus brief can be filed.
The case, overseen by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, was filed by Kennedy and his Children's Health Defense against Biden, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the Department of Health and Human Services, and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Censorship as a cure is imho worse than the disease, which has other causes that should be addressed before we resort to such drastic measures as amputating the First Amendment.

Trump single-handedly mainstreaming people like RFK (when even back as recently as the '90s, being an anti-vaxxer was one of the ultimate fringe positions) is how we fucking got here in the first place.
