Biden will probably not enforce the ban (no fines) and Trump will likely continue that non-enforcement, essentially nullifying the will of Congress and judgement of the court.

I think Biden talk is a nothing burger. You need time to enforce things. Ban goes into effect on the 19th. Do they send out violation notice on 19th (Sunday), 20th (Monday and holiday and transition day) or 21st (first working day) when Biden administration does not exist.

I don’t understand, why wouldn’t they send it out on the 19th? Because it’s Sunday? Laws aren’t weekday-only last I checked.

Yes. Not all offices are open on weekends. Of course armed forces are of course police are working but should all agencies be open every day? And are they? Check your neighborhood. Post office may be open on Saturday but not Sunday and definitely not on MlK day. Check the city hall. Check the bill payment in-person windows. Check the social security agency.

Some problems such as LA fires require immediate response, some problems require an escalation mechanism and many others can be dealt during regular business hours.

A law was passed with a date attached to it, and it is very high profile. My local post office has nothing to do with anything.

Stop.

I think the point being made here is that many offices, including but not limited to your local post office, are closed on Sundays. They were not saying that your specific local post office is integral to enforcing the TikTok ban.

Is there a section in the text of the law that says that enforcement has to happen outside of normal office hours or do you just assume that’s the case because the law is being talked about in the news?

The law has a date attached to it. I already mentioned that.

So we agree!

So long as we’re agreeing that they’re not doing anything because the date falls on the day before the administration is dissolved, yes!

I am glad that we are on the same page that the answer to “why don’t they enforce the law that they can’t enforce” is in the question.

> I don’t understand, why wouldn’t they send it out on the 19th?

> "Given the sheer fact of timing, this Administration recognizes that actions to implement the law simply must fall to the next Administration, which takes office on Monday," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
