State Senator Taken To Court For Blocking People On Twitter

(Des Moines, IA)  --  A Democratic state Senator is being sued for blocking people on Twitter.  The Libertarian Party of Iowa and Thomas Halterman say Senator Claire Celsi [[ sell-SEE ]] is violating Iowans' First Amendment rights by blocking them.  The party says Celsi began blocking people after a Twitter conversation about the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  The party also says what Celsi's doing is unconstitutional because a recent court ruling went against President Trump after he blocked people on Twitter.
