Supreme Court might not 'have the stomach' to accept Trump's new legal demand: expert

Raw Story  

The Donald Trump-friendly U.S. Supreme Court may be ready to buck him, an ex-prosecutor said. "Meanwhile, as the date for the TikTok ban in the U.S., January 19, draws closer, Donald Trump was among a number of litigants filing Amicus briefs with the Supreme Court last week," Vance wrote this weekend. Consistent with his commanding presence in this area, President Trump currently has 14.7 million followers on TikTok with whom he actively communicates, allowing him to evaluate TikTok’s importance as a unique medium for freedom of expression, including core political speech," the brief states. "Indeed, President Trump and his rival both used TikTok to connect with voters during the recent Presidential election campaign, with President Trump doing so much more effectively." According to the legal expert, Trump "is represented by his nominee to be Solicitor General, John Sauer, who obsequiously described the president-elect in the glowing sort of terms Trump likes to see himself described with."
