Court of International Trade puts Trump tariffs on hold

[TemplarKormac]

I don't eat cereal.

Well that's a shame.

 

[TemplarKormac]

He's got serious problems.....total MAGA gomer.

Yanno, as crass and bombastic as I can be, at least I attempt to back my arguments up with facts and substance.

But "gomer" is all you got? Well. I'm better off than I thought.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

The courts don't seem interested in protecting Americas national security.

LOL...an insane president wrecking the U.S. economy with insane tariffs doesn't sound like a great plan for protecting national security.

 

[Unkotare]

Well that's a shame.

Too much sugar and carbs. And don't get me started on milk.

 

[TemplarKormac]

You didn't cite the laws, you cited the titles

Were you reading any of the tweets I posted? Of course not.

You might want to get those cataracts checked, old man.

Welp, can't say I blame you.

Judges block Trump's unilateral tariffs on most trading partners

A three-judge panel on Wednesday struck down President Donald Trump's unilateral tariffs, including 10% imposed on most U.S. trading partners, calling them "contrary to law."

May 28 (UPI) -- A three-judge panel on Wednesday struck down President Donald Trump's unilateral tariffs, including 10% imposed on most U.S. trading partners, calling them "contrary to law."

Despite several lawsuits filed in different courts, this is the first time a federal court has blocked them.

I got two words for you...Elon Musk. And the judicial branch is an equal branch of government, according to the Constitution. You know, the one you want to abolish?

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

well see about that ! though you are applauding the leftist judiciary trying to override the power of the POTUS elected by the people the SC will be ruling on this very very quickly in an emergency fast tracked appeal .. commie ! WE the people elected the POTUS to carry out what he ran on !

LOL! When the SCOTUS slaps Trump down..then what?

You guys seem to forget..if you ever really thought about it..that we live in a country of laws..and many of them do not allow what Trump and you wish to do..or at least...not in the way you want to go about it.

Tariffs are a power delegated to Congress..as anyone can read. Whining that congress gave away those powers is fruitless....they have them just the same.
The President is not allowed to rule by fiat..he is not a King.

Deal with it~

You really need to stop posting tweets as if they are fact.

Because just naming acts doesn't prove anything, junior.

The Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974 continued this trend, adding provisions like Section 232 and Section 301, which allowed the President to impose tariffs in response to national security threats or unfair trade practices. However, these powers were still subject to specific findings and justifications, ensuring that executive actions were neither arbitrary nor unrestricted.


Throughout these legislative changes, the Supreme Court’s insistence on the “intelligible principle” doctrine remained a cornerstone, mandating that any delegation of authority must come with clear guidelines to avoid unfettered presidential power.

Can the President Declare a Trade War?​

The President’s authority to impose tariffs operates within a framework designed to balance swift executive action with legislative oversight. Key provisions include:

• Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962: Enables the President to impose tariffs if imports threaten national security, following a thorough investigation.
• Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: Allows the President to impose retaliatory tariffs to counteract unfair foreign trade practices.
• International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA): Grants the President authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies involving foreign threats, requiring a formal declaration.

The president cannot impose tariffs on his own whims arbitrarily. Period.

US court blocks Trump from imposing the bulk of his tariffs​

Leftists don't end on our borders. I found European cable TV stations in English limited to left news. Europeans desire to speak English, guess where the majority of "western Europeans" learn it from. First hand knowledge, and many told me so. Their youth especially are pretty well sold on the left, kind of crazy. Some real good people too, middle age, Netherland's doctors. They think our guns are the problem, despite a short ride to beautiful Switzerland. TDS struck, Trump's coming after democracy. Places mostly free of invasion, clean living.

Then comes Germany under the same TV order. Near as I can tell it's wealthy or run down, crime, drugs, riddled with invasion. Sound familiar? ******* Germans. Bastard airport security too, fuckers, and their handlers couldn't even get our baggage right. I detest air travel, cross continents is gross.

 

[IM2]

I did.

All Trump needs to do is move most of his tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

That eliminates the substance of this ruling.

Nope. He can't even do that. Because the courts determined that nothing in his tariffs met those conditions. He can't just simply move the tariffs anywhere. There must be an investigation proving that every nation on earth is using unfair trade practices against the United States. The courts might have just saved this country from an economic catastrophe.

One has to wonder.

How much suffering are you under right now because of the tariffs?

If you're here posting about them, they must not be the crisis you think they are.

You're just running your damn mouth.

[Care4all]

I've said all I'm going to say.

Looking for the parts in each one of these Acts you posted, that gives the president this authority under the conditions we are in now....

Posting the name of the Act, doesn't really help....

I'll try to find and read them on my own, I guess...

 

[meaner gene]

The leftists here can get bent.

• Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232), allows the President to impose tariffs or other trade restrictions for national security reasons.
• Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301), permits the President to impose tariffs to address unfair trade practices by foreign nations.
• International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, grants the President authority to impose tariffs during national emergencies.

And the court shredded all those arguments, because Trump imposed widespread tariffs, on EVERYTHING. Where national security could be invoked on particular items, like steel, or aluminum, or Huwai electronics.
And again unfair trade practices are imposed on an item by item basis, not a country by country basis. Such as if Japan started to "dump" steel, the president can tariff steel, but he can't tariff other items not being dumped.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Because the courts determined that nothing in his tariffs met those conditions.

He has all the power under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

The court will be overturned.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Yanno, as crass and bombastic as I can be, at least I attempt to back my arguments up with facts and substance.

No, you don't....10 people have now told your simple ass that Trump's insane tariffs do not meet the conditions in the 3 laws that you cited.

In fact...the Court Of International Trade also says that you are completely full of shit.

But you just keep holding your breath, beating your chest, and repeating your lame shit over and over and over....just moronic.

Funny how liberals appeal to authority only when it suits their arguments. They never stop to consider that the authority they appeal to may not be just in its acts or rulings.

But do carry on.

I could care less if 10,000 told me the same thing.

Wrong is wrong.

The Court of International Trade? Even Unkotare thinks that's stupid. What the hell even is that? If they are not a member of our Article III established courts, they can pound sand.

Piss off.

 

[IM2]

He has all the power under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Again, he must show that every country in the world is using unfair trade practices against the United States for him to be able to impose tariffs. That's what Section 301 requires.
