Can't wait for congress to ban Duolingo unless they remove the Chinese language and the supreme court to find that it's not actually a ban because it's motivated by a "national security interest" since "experts agree that multilingual citizens are more susceptible to foreign adversary talking points"

I've listened to enough 5-4 pod to know that this will almost certainly be how they do it. That said, it'll be interesting to see if they take a Roberts 2 step to get there or just jump straight to the xenophobic ruling this time, now that Trump will be able to effectively make an even more unbalanced judiciary with nothing to lose this time.
