"The essence of this ruling is that viewpoint discrimination is prohibited," Calvert said. "Trump’s personal Twitter account has become a public forum and this court concluded that he cannot block those who disagree with him and only allow those who agree with him."

Genevieve Lakier, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School who helped write a friend-of-the-court brief filed by First Amendment scholars, welcomed Wednesday’s decision. The group argued that failing to recognize Trump’s Twitter feed as a public forum would "threaten critical First Amendment values."

"I think it’s a wonderful decision but I’m sure it’s going to be appealed," said Lakier, who noted that courts are beginning to recognize the significance of social media she compared it to the right of access to a public park. "The court says this is a designated public forum and the general presumption is everyone can enter. If that’s the case, the government doesn’t get to pick and choose who is allowed in."

Trump isn’t the first politician to face resistance for blocking critics from social media. In July, a federal court in Virginia said the chair of a county board of supervisors had violated the First Amendment rights of a constituent by blocking him from the county’s Facebook page.

In another case, four Maryland residents sued Governor Larry Hogan, claiming he censored them by deleting their comments and blocking them from his Facebook page because they didn’t agree with his views. The case settled after Hogan adopted a new social media policy.

Chinese learners uses the word "Wise" to describe Judges. AMDK uses the word "Learned".

Given that you often aspire to be AMDK high Ses type, I was just doing my part by making a suggestion for your consideration.

However, there is a story of a Wise Judge in China. Here you go..

The Sentence of A Wise Judge - A Powerful Story From Ancient China

The sentence of a wise Judge

A farmer in ancient China had a neighbor who was a hunter, and who owned ferocious and poorly trained hunting dogs. They jumped the fence frequently and chased the farmer's lambs. The farmer asked his neighbor to keep his dogs in check, but this fell on deaf ears.

One day the dogs again jumped the fence and attacked and severely injured several of the lambs.

The farmer had had enough and went to town to consult a judge who listened carefully to the story and said: "I could punish the hunter and instruct him to keep his dogs chained or lock them up. But you would lose a friend and gain an enemy. Which would you rather have, friend or foe for a neighbor?" The farmer replied that he preferred a friend.

“Alright, I will offer you a solution that keeps your lambs safe, and which will keep your a neighbor a friend." Having heard the judge's solution, the farmer agreed.

Once at home, the farmer immediately put the judge's suggestions to the test. He took three of his best lambs and presented them to his neighbor's three small sons, who were beside themselves with joy and began to play with them. To protect his son's newly acquired playthings, the hunter built a strong kennel for his dogs. Since then, the dogs never again bothered the farmer's lambs.

Out of gratitude for the farmer's generosity toward his sons, the hunter often shared the game he had hunted with the farmer. The farmer reciprocated by sending the hunter lamb meat and cheese he had made. Within a short time, the neighbors became good friends.

A saying in old China went something like this,

“One can win over and influence people the best with gestures of kindness and compassion.”

A similar American saying:

“One catches more flies with honey than with vinegar!

Oh really? Apparently you don’t know it takes wisdom to be a good judge among all the deceiving noises from evil people. Wisdom is English word or not?

WISE French culture will have no such problem of view point discrimination.
