DC Circuit Sets September Oral Argument in TikTok Challenge to 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 June 17. TikTok and ByteDance challenge the ban on four constitutional grounds (see 2406070023). 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 (TikTok v. Merrick Garland, D.C. Cir. # 24-1113).
