About this sermon
At the Supreme Court in Washington, it was a clash between national security and free speech, and at the center of it all was the popular app, TikTok. The app is owned by a Chinese company. In April, Congress passed a law requiring the China-based company ByteDance to sell TikTok by January 19th. If they didn't, then TikTok would be banned in the US. The law passed with broad bipartisan support. Today, it seemed the judges favored the law, meaning the clock could be ticking for the smartphone app. Attorney Jeff Lewis joins to talk about the potential national security threat and what the argument is by lawmakers. Chief Justice John Roberts was doubtful that this was a First Amendment issue, saying Congress didn't care what was expressed on TikTok but only who owned it. Lewis discusses how valid that position is. In his first administration, President Trump was against TikTok. However, he's now asking the Supreme Court to delay a ruling until he takes office so he can reach a "political solution". Lewis tells us what that might look like. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
