The Roberts Court is on a serious power trip. They are sticking their beaks into everything.

It is their prerogative.

While I am not a user or fan of TikTok, I am a strong First Amendment supporter. Government must achieve an EXTREMELY high bar to shut speech down.

I will wait until the Supreme Court rules to render judgement, as there are multiple nuances as to how they could rule.

IMHO, extending 1A rights to foreign adversaries was never original intent, but we’ll see how the SCOTUS rules.

Yeah? And I could go down and buy a pack of Marlboros and take up smoking. Doesn’t make it a good idea.

Not saying it is a good idea or not, until I see the final ruling.

But clearly worth review.
