Here are the key takeaways from Friday’s oral arguments:Roberts skeptical that First Amendment appliesJustices across the ideological spectrum raised doubts that the TikTok ban even implicated the First Amendment. Kavanaugh leans into national security concernsTraditionally, the Supreme Court has deferred to the other branches of government when it comes to national security. Unless the Supreme Court acts block the law, TikTok “will go dark” starting on January 19, its attorney, Noel Francisco, said. But even if the court upholds the ban, there remains considerable uncertainty around the app’s accessibility in the Trump administration. Trump has said he wants to save TikTok and the law gives him wide latitude on enforcement.

CNN —New analysis has identified the oldest shoes ever discovered in Europe, according to a study published this week in the journal Science Advances. The ancient footwear, along with Mesolithic baskets and other tools, was first discovered back in 1857, when a cave in southern Spain was looted by miners. The sandals were made of grasses as well as other materials, including leather, lime and ramie bast, a type of natural fiber. Using the descriptions provided by Góngora, the study hypothesizes that the bodies were buried wearing the sandals. The first phase was related to the Early Holocene hunter-gatherer populations, and the second phase to Middle Holocene farmers, researchers said.

New York CNN Business —America’s emergency oil stockpile has plunged to 40-year lows. It has less levers left in its policy toolkit,” Daan Struyven, head of oil research at Goldman Sachs, told CNN in a phone interview. That’s one reason Goldman Sachs expects oil prices to stay high, averaging $100 a barrel this time next year. Saudi Arabia has an incentive to keep oil prices high in order to balance their budget. “Extremely high prices destroy long-term demand for Saudi barrels,” Struyven said.

The second supermoon of this year — the Sturgeon Moon — left stargazers awed on Tuesday night, drawing large crowds in parts of Europe, the Americas and Asia, and once again piquing interest in the night sky. “It’s nice that people get away from their daily routines and all the horrible things that are going around in the world, and then take some time to really appreciate this celestial phenomenon,” Francisco Diego, an astronomer who lectures at University College London, said by telephone on Wednesday.
