Trump tries to save TikTok from the law

Live Mint  

The drafters of the U.S. Constitution debated whether one or more chief executives was the best form of government. That’s the essence of Mr. Trump’s amicus brief filed Friday in TikTok v. Garland, which the Supreme Court will hear on Jan. 10. To grant Mr. Trump’s request for a stay now would set a bad precedent that invites future incoming Presidents to interfere in pending Court cases. Mr. Trump tried to force TikTok’s divestiture in his first term but was blocked by the courts. Mr. Trump’s last-minute intervention to save TikTok will no doubt be received well in Beijing, which by the way bans U.S. social-media platforms.
