That's disingenuous. They are aggressively content neutral and therefore do not remove people for having views they may find abhorrent. That's not the same as being a far right platform. There is a lot of progressive content on substack.

![A quote from George Tucker, from Blackstone's Commentaries: "[The necessary and proper] clause, I apprehend, cannot be construed to enlarge any power before specifically granted; nor to grant any new power, not before specifically enumerated; or granted in some other part of the constitution. On the contrary it seems calculated to restrain the federal government from the exercise of any power, not necessarily an appendage to, and consequence of some power particularly enumerated. Acts of congress to be binding, must be made pursuant to the constitution; otherwise they are not laws, but a mere nullity; or what is worse, acts of usurpation. The people are not only not bound by them, but the several departments and officers of the governments, both federal, and state, are bound by oath to oppose them; for, being bound by oath to support the constitution, they must violate that oath, whenever they give their sanction, by obedience, or otherwise, to any unconstitutional act of any department of the government."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k3r3xd76mz3mdtac3df6a5ow/bafkreidze24hb4ab2tubcjmiyzup5e5f6opvyirvr54fgvzze6dykujb3q@jpeg)
