Tariff ruling.

[d0gbreath]

Those were sweeping rigid rules.

Trump has done well viewing trade as based on how the other country is treating us, which is right. The Constitution was written in a period where foreign trade was a small fraction compared to now.

The one size fits all is BS. Countries differ. But all should treat us and our products like we treat their's.

15% across the board sure sounds like one size fits all to me.

Hopefully sanity will prevail, the Trump tariffs will remain in place, and in the future some form of Congressional approval would be required, or a confession by Congress that tariffs are indeed part of foreign policy.

For 150 days then he hits them again.

If you mean the trump tariffs of 15%, sure they'll last 150 days. If you mean the old ones that got shot down in flames, that's not possible. Sanity is not easily found in the USA today. Good luck!

With congressional approval only. That's what the Supremes were really trying to say. We have 3 equal branches of government. Don seems to be the only one that doesn't understand that.

 

[EMH]

that's not possible

If the house and senate certify them, which they should to avoid the loss and chaos that will result if they do not, then it is possible.

Are tariffs classified as (domestic) taxes or foreign policy.

The American People voted for Donald Trump to handle tariffs. The Constitution says foreign policy is by Executive Branch. The SCOTUS is out of line, deliberately inserting itself and screwing the American People over trying to claim tariffs are not foreign policy, they are.

That's not possible. They aren't going to do that. You know it, and I know it.

They appear to be both. Where's my damn 2k check!

Do you not know about the law Trump used to impose 15% tariffs on other nations?
I think when you evaluate this, on this issue the Supreme Court is boss, not Trump. Not even congress.

They're equal bosses, which means that it's only natural that they will butt heads from time to time. I read about the law. He gets 150 days. But, 15% is much less than the old numbers.

 

[Hector12]

but the left has no problem with other countries slapping high tariffs on US goods .. even though said countries have been doing it for decades !

When I say I want no tariffs, I mean no tariffs by any country.

Normally they support Trump, True they are not Trumps boss since he still imposes a 15% tariff.

Using tariffs to help with our $38,000,000,000,000 debt would've been nice if he hadn't changed the amounts like I change shirts.

What did you do to cause your problem?

I don't have any problems. What are you on about?

From your earlier comments.

 

[skye]

Roberts is a terrible chief justice.

Yes, he is!

Do you mean the US deficit? That don't confront me, ie: not my problem.

But that is how you get FAIR TRADE, by using your LEVERAGE instead of allowing black robed traitors to sell you out on a bullshit technical argument of whether or not tariff is tax or foreign policy.
