And upheld by the the supreme Court in a unanimous decision

You are correct. Our entire government looks like a clown show over this. National security issues that we couldn’t see banned it and now it’s still here. I better see some members of the legislature fight this misappropriation of power that was upheld by the Supreme Court. If a president can come in and hand wave away a law just passed and implemented(by a huge majority mind you), then the rule of law is gone. I hope that Cook and Pichai stand firm and not let these apps back into the store until the government fixes this shit show through the proper channels. Those who flip flop their votes should have their reasons spread across traditional and online media. If our entire government will flip flop on an issue so quickly after the Supreme Court suppressed the 1A a little further, I feel the corpo state has taken us another step towards the cyberpunk dystopia that I prefer to cosplay in my games not reality.

Republicans probably love to see Trump ignoring Congress even if it's a law they passed. Now you've essentially got a large chunk of the population (youth especially) cheering that Trump saved the day by acting like a dictator. Gives him opportunity to do more of the same.

> who then elected to not even attempt to enforce the law today, his one day to do so

I don't think the US president is exempt from the tendency to avoid hard work on their last day on the job.
