Are these letters legally binding?
>Several people familiar with the move said the US Department of Commerce had told so-called electronic design automation groups — which include Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens EDA — to stop supplying their technology to China.
>The Bureau of Industry and Security, the arm of the US commerce department that oversees export controls, issued the directive to the companies via letters, according to the people. It was unclear if every US EDA company had received a letter.
- AnimalMuppet 1y agoIANAL, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no. I don't see anywhere in the Constitution that the president has the legitimate authority to issue such orders. This is going to be one more grand-sounding order that is immediately blocked by a judge, and the block will be sustained on appeal.
