> Your argument boils down to: they can be banned, so because “national security,” it’s ok. China may be violating laws, but TikTok isn’t, so singling them out is a bill of attainder, which the Constitution explicitly prohibits.[a] If they’re violating any laws, then why aren’t we being told anything but national security?
> A bill of attainder (also known as an act of attainder or writ of attainder or bill of penalties) is an act of a legislature declaring a person, or a group of persons, guilty of some crime, and punishing them, often without a trial.
1) The action was not taken by the legislature,
2) I do not believe it declares TikTok to be "guilty" of any crime,
3) I'm sure the district court judge knows what a bill of attainder is, would have said so if this was one.
This action is obviously not a bill of attainder:
