It's past time for Congress to act on tariffs!

Opinion | How Congress can enforce the Supreme Court's tariff ruling

Max Burns: Lawmakers must assume what Trump demonstrated on Friday: that the administration will do everything it can to skirt the court’s decision.

Since we have a president who ignores The Constitution of the United States, it is incumbent upon Congress to reinforce the obligations Trump swore to in language he will understand.

Article 1, Section 8 of The Constitution gives the power of taxation to the Congress and gives zero power to the president, even a president who thinks his power is all encompassing. No further legislation reinforcing The Constitution should be necessary. But, given the misplaced reasoning of the current president, further legislation, written in language even he would understand, does appear to be necessary

Two issues involving tariffs should be addressed with new legislation. One to absolutely prohibit the president from imposing tariffs on the American people under any circumstances whatsoever. Second to make provision to refund to importers, businesses and the American people the illegal money collected from all of the tariffs Trump imposed from day one. Of course, Trump's lackey SCOTUS justice Kavanaugh thinks that "would be a mess," but so be it. It's a mess that Trump made; let him clean it up!

Bigly!!!

Tariffs are foreign policy and that belongs to Executive Branch.

This is a grotesque abuse of power by SCOTUS, which will cost America trillions of dollars.

If Congress acts today to codify the current Trump tariffs, the SCOTUS ruling will change nothing in the present.

In tariff case, Supreme Court justices bicker over treating Trump and Biden differently

Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, was unusually direct in suggesting some of his colleagues were treating presidents of opposing parties differently.

www.nbcnews.com

"Gorsuch was part of the 6-3 majority that struck down most of Trump’s tariffs on Friday, but he wrote a separate 46-page opinion that chided several of his fellow justices over how they approached the case.


"His colleagues were effectively applying the same Supreme Court precedent differently under Trump than they did under Biden, he argued, writing: “It is an interesting turn of events.”

Damn you kids just get dumber with each day. So other countries can impose 100 percent tariffs on American goods but American can not do the same. Democrats can impose tariffs and that is fine but Trump is not allowed to. To say you children are crazy is putting it mildly

Trump's irrational obsession with tariffs is provoking chaos among Republicans in Congress, pitting the constitutionalists against Trump's toadies.

“The Supreme Court defended the Constitution by rejecting the use of ‘emergency’ powers to impose taxes. Tariffs are taxes, and the power to declare them belongs to Congress. That truth goes beyond this case. No future administration, including a socialist one, can use ‘emergency’ powers to get around Congress and tax by decree.” SENATOR RAND PAUL (R)​

​

The GOP is an outhouse divided against itself, not an auspicious prospect for November.

Yet the toxic democrats are at an even more dismal 18% approval.

Trump has three quarters to get the economy and "affordability" more popular than today before the mid-terms.

Democrats just can't change their stripes.

Democrats Expand Generic Ballot Lead in February​

Congress won’t be there to back up Trump, who could press for legislative action on tariffs Tuesday night. Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday it’s unlikely Congress will act to codify the president’s tariff agenda to comply with the ruling.​

Congratulations, the polls all favor democrats today, but the election isn't until November.

Trump and Republicans still have time to make their case to the voters.

It's tough to act in either direction, with the government shutdown.

Progressives are suicidal. They live for the now and for pure pleasure over realities. You will usher in a dictatorship that will eliminate many of you as promises made cannot be kept and you get pissed for not sharing in the rewards in a contracting economy. Deplorables of course will suffer, and those hired by the dictatorship will remember what you did to cause this and exact revenge y following the new laws of the new constitution.

You're right. It's a partial government shutdown. Just DHS. But, I have a feeling that congress doesn't want to touch tariffs, at least not for a while.

That seems kind of way out there. Maybe it's just me.
