D.C. Circuit Sets Sept. 16 Oral Argument in Consolidated Challenges to TikTok Ban

The U.S. Appeals Court for the D.C. Circuit scheduled oral argument for Sept. 16 at 9:30 a.m. on the two consolidated petitions for review challenging the constitutionality of the federal TikTok ban, said a clerk’s order Monday (dockets 24-1113 and 24-1130). TikTok and ByteDance challenge the ban on four constitutional grounds (see 2405070045). Their petition seeks a declaratory judgment that the ban violates the Constitution. It also seeks an order enjoining U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland from enforcing it.
