If you read the article, they are also contesting the fact the order was rushed and bans ByteDance from retaining US lawyers once the ban is in effect, which is a violation of due process.
So the legal argument from ByteDance actually has merit in that respect, regardless of the political debate.
- alfiedotwtf 6y ago> bans ByteDance from retaining US lawyers once the ban is in effect, which is a violation of due process To counter the parent’s comment, this sounds like something a totalitarian state would do
- jychang 6y agoAre you implying the USA is a totalitarian state now?
- dodobirdlord 6y agoIf orders like this are not overturned by the judicial system, then yes, it would be. But this order (or at least the lawyer-banning aspect) will be overturned because the US is not a totalitarian state.
- slowhadoken 6y agoCorrect. It shows that Trump is subject to the law but the CCP does whatever it pleases. China blocks whatever it likes because it has no such legal standards.
- ponker 6y agoYes, the entire state apparatus bows to the whims of one man, which is almost definitionally a totalitarian state. We’re lucky, at the moment, that the totalitarian in charge has few concrete ideas and lacks the attention span to see through even those few.
- alfiedotwtf 6y agoThank you. I can’t believe not everyone is seeing this.
