With all eyes on the Capitol since Friday when the various celebratory balls began, five significant court cases slipped by the public’s notice. That number excludes the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in TikTok v. Garland, which upheld The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act’s mandate that China divest from the popular social media platform.
The Supreme Court’s TikTok decision quickly launched extensive debate and, after TikTok went dark, reportedly some private crises. Many Americans and the Chinese communist government perceived Trump’s impending inauguration as providing a reprieve from the law, even though a President cannot amend a statute (or the Constitution — more on Biden’s claim about the purported 28th Amendment tomorrow) by Executive Order or otherwise.
