BREAKING: Most of Trump's tariffs ruled illegal

[Unkotare]

Well, Trump's deranged gibberish beliefs about executive power don't require a lot of legal analysis....

Great! Not a lot of legal analysis seems to be your expertise.

hmmm, the court didn't even bother to read the complaint, they just rendered the verdict and mailed it to a higher court...

So the cult says!!!

Now bow and give us 50 TACO pledges!!!!

What are you complaining about? You're happy that Trump put Maxwell is in a minimum security prison and she is one of the worst child molesters in U.S. history.

DUHHHHH....that was obvious 7 months ago when Trump first began his sabotage of the U.S. economy.

A major blow to Trump.....but a nice W for the Constitution.

President Donald Trump’s cornerstone economic policy was dealt another setback Friday when a federal appeals court ruled he did not have the authority to impose most of his sweeping tariffs on imports from dozens of trading partners.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a lower court’s decision that Trump overstepped his authority in using a 1977 law, called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to impose most of his tariffs. The emergency law is used in the case of threats against the country.

“The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax," a group of federal judges wrote in their ruling.

The decision throws the future of Trump’s foundational economic policy into uncertainty once more, just weeks after the president announced increased levies on more than 60 countries around the world. Those tariffs spared many countries from even higher levels first proposed by Trump in April, but still added much higher taxes than the country has imposed in recent decades.

I seriously doubt it will make any difference since the tRumplings are likely to just ignore the ruling but it's nice that someone is at least trying.

How the **** can tariffs be illegal?

They didn't say they were. They said he didn't have the power to levy them.

How the **** can tariffs be illegal?

Tariffs aren't illegal. Trump trying to justify them with that law is.

Under the United States Constitution, only CONGRESS can levy tariffs.

Nope....
I just wanted the truth to come out.

How is it possible for an unelected Appeals Court to shut down a foreign trade policy initiated by the President? Who are these people?

People that are in no way supposed to be involved in foreign policy at all.

What national emergency?

Tariffs are a tax. The Constitution only gives Congress the power to tax, not the executive.

What national emergency?

Pick your reason.
I'd choose this as the biggest reason:

Not a national emergency.

Anything else sucker?

Read the damn Constitution, Article 1, Section 8. Trump’s emergency declaration was pure bullshit as Trump abused the authority Congress gave the president on tariffs.
