SCOTUS Sets March 18 Oral Argument in Murthy v. Missouri

The U.S. Supreme Court set oral argument for March 18 in Murthy v. Missouri, the case in which the government is seeking to vacate the injunction that bars officials from the White House and four federal agencies from coercing social media companies to moderate their content, said a text-only docket entry Monday (docket 23-411).

SCOTUS granted the government’s cert petition Oct. 20 over the strong objections of Justice Samuel Alito. It also granted the government’s request for a full stay of the injunction, pending the court’s resolution of the case.
