The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: End of TikTok? Ban to Take Effect Sunday

It’s official: the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law banning the popular social media app TikTok over national security concerns unless its Chinese owners sell it by Sunday (Jan 19). 

Our guests today help explain what a TikTok ban might actually look like, what its 170 million American users can expect next, and more.   

First, The Wall Street Journal tech reporter Sarah Needleman shares more about what will happen with the app starting tomorrow, and whether TikTok may still be saved. Then, constitutional law expert Jessica Levinson talks about the Supreme Court justices’ decision, and what the options are, legally, for President-elect Trump moving forward.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - The New Constitutional (dis)Order

Donald Trump becomes president again on Monday, and as Joe Biden leaves the White House, we’re on the brink of a massive change in how the law is interpreted. Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearing was one of a host of clues this week that we are in for a wild legal and constitutional ride. On this episode of Amicus, host Dahlia Lithwick is joined by constitutional scholar Professor Pamela Karlan to pick through what we learned this week about what the law is and what it is about to become –– from Jack Smith’s report, to the new (presumptive) Attorney General of the United States’ apparent ignorance of birthright citizenship and therefore the 14th amendment.
