The Supreme Court considers Trump's Tariffs

[CrusaderFrank]

Once they rule against the tariffs, they should rules against the War Powers Act and Patriot Act and FISA Courts

And Trump declared a phony “emergency” so he could start a global trade war.

The Court will decide it.

Explain how that is “management”.

So again the court will decide on the law passed by Congress?

You understand that? Or are you still hiding out with Nick “liberals are right” Fuentes? Isn’t that blow up unicorn outfit getting hot for you and Nick?

$37 Trillion in debt and $2 Trillion annual deficit IS an existential emergency

 

[CrusaderFrank]

This will be very interesting. Trump's wild, fluid, constantly changing, often punitive & random, impossible-for-businesses-to-plan-for tariffs -- which have played such a significant role in ruining longstanding global relationships -- are very important to him. He is just assuming that he can take the power to issue tariffs from Congress, and he is fully expecting "his" Supreme Court to let him.

This is a big deal. Will the Supreme Court fold for him? And if not, how does he react?

Are Trump's attorneys making the case that $2 Trillion annual deficit and $37 Trillion debt is the definition of an emergency AND that Congress has shirked their responsibilities?

Full time fool naturally identified itself and chimed in

Yes you did, with your usual "Hurr, my first emotional impression is all I need to know" MAGAt nonsense.

Clearly it isn't, as the fat rapist just cut taxes.

Koreans building Hyundais? Now there is a REAL EMERGENECY.

If course, I saw a unicorn last night.

 

[TimFitz]

If he never had the authority then it would never have been implemented
That authority is now being challenged
Stop lying

Trump manufactured the fake “emergency” in order to envoke it.

The Court will decide whether that power grab will stand.

Meanwhile, Trump’s reckless arbitrary mismanaged trade “policy” has led to chaos and uncertainty all over the world.

 

[Robert W]

He's got most people fooled. He cares nothing about US. Otherwise he wouldn't be cutting things that protect the people from unscrupulous people like him

show us all proof.

I’m not sure why Trump isn’t making the point that being $38 Trillion in debt with $2 Trillion annual deficits is an existential emergency. Congress abdicated their responsibility

We don’t have a taxing problem, we have a Congress that enriches itself and their benefactors

Essentially Trump has to prove that there's some kind of emergency. There isn't, and only a biased judge will be able to say there is.

If they do rule for Trump, the Presidency will become the only power.

Yeah. Once Trump can claim that a leaky faucet is a national emergency, that might be the final piece of the puzzle, historically speaking.

 

[kyzr]

He never had the authority to “manage” tariffs.
You call Trump’s arbitrary decrees, arbitrary changes, lack of analysis,and lack of either planning or consideration of repercussions “management”????????? Seriously?????

Wrong. He does have the authority to manage some tariffs, just not all of them. Seriously.
Reagan, G. W. Bush, Obama, and Biden all used new tariffs.

You haven’t been paying attention.

Trump and his mouthpieces have been peddling variations on that for months.

They have also promoted fantasies about tarrifs eliminating both income taxes and the national debt.

Of course, Trump is the last man on earth to be expected to do anything about the deficit.

I watched Lutnick peddle the income tax chimera on Face the Nation not too long ago. You could actually see the tongue in his cheek.

It has been clear since Day One that these people entered the Oval Office with a specific plan to call every item on their agenda an "emergency" simply to leverage Trump's emergency powers.

Obviously they knew the flock would be fine with it, since they're communicated with almost exclusively in comical, hysterical hyperbole. ANYTHING not going well is an "emergency".

We'll see how much rope his pals in the SC give him. If he's given even MORE power, we're getting close to terminal velocity towards neofascism here.

Are you hiding under your bed yet?

 

[sartre play]

Just a guess, IF our elected government employees STOP spending Most of there time,
DIALING FOR DOLLARS, and glad handing lobbyists and rich donners CAMPAING TO KEEP /GET there job.
And actually stayed in there office and Worked on things that causes problems,
Like SNAP, OR SOCIAL SECURETY ROADS & BRIDGES, Actually looking at where the money comes from,
how it is spent, what the problems are how to fix them/ improve them. You know WORK.

No, we’re going to “No Kings” rallies and protesting ICE thugs.
