Wow. An order to take down an article on secrecy eroding the public trust. How's that for irony? It's been a while since I finished law school but pretty sure they're still teaching the First Amendment. Judges this clueless about basic constitutional law shouldn't be anywhere near a courtroom.

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!
