The Supreme Court considers Trump's Tariffs

[Mac1958]

“What happens when the president simply vetoes legislation to take these powers back?” Gorsuch asked.

“So Congress as a practical matter can’t get this power back?”

Whoa. Sounds like Gorsuch is hip to the big picture plan on pretty much everything, not just tariffs.

 

[berg80]

Just said by attorney: "This President has torn up the entire tariff infrastructure". Nicely put, Neal Katyal.

Katyal is brilliant. He was a analyst on MSNBC for years so I'm familiar with his legal acumen.

Whoa. Sounds like Gorsuch is hip to the big picture plan on pretty much everything, not just tariffs.

Maybe this is the conservative's chance to partially make up for the monster they created and defend the rule of law for once.

Say you dont know how business works without saying you know how business works.

Trump didnt lower anything. He raised them. If Trump got countries to lower their tariff without raising ours that would be good. Raising ours hurts... us... it hurts the US. Tariffs generate loss economic value.

Try answering the question rather than speculative deflection. You are a cuck order taker. I’m a millionaire who built two vastly different businesses into huge successes. I talk and walk like it. You talk like a vapid cuck . USSC would not even be involved absent you TDS afflicted

I often wonder about that. Especially Roberts.

“Your lawyers”
So funny the make pretend

You do get the concept that corporations have lawyers?

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?

Live updates: Supreme Court is hearing arguments on Trump’s tariffs

You are mistaken. This won't be an issue of the Supreme Court folding for Trump. That's a leftist talking point you're trying to push as reality. If there was a leftist slant to the SC would you be as critical?

The court will decide if Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 correctly.
Let's allow the judicial to do their job.

For the most part that narrative is not supported by the facts.

Bullshit. other countries impose sanction like tariffs on US trade and then the democrats is Congress block any effort to stop it with our own tariffs.

 

[Rawley]

Trade deals are approved by legislation via Congress.

And you think that is workable?

 

[berg80]

Why does USSC even get involved with what the USA charges other countries ??
Answer; Because Dems don’t want Trump to produce benefits for the USA

Answer; because a lawsuit was filed challenging the legality of Dotard unilaterally establishing tariffs that has made it's way to the SC after the regime lost in a lower court ruling.

 

[Rawley]

Justice Neil Gorsuch, one of six conservatives on the court, pressed Sauer on the fact that Trump had unilaterally imposed the tariffs, citing an international emergency, without Congress authorizing them.

“What happens when the president simply vetoes legislation to take these powers back?” Gorsuch asked.

“So Congress as a practical matter can’t get this power back?”

They override his veto. Duh.

 

[berg80]

Bullshit. other countries impose sanction like tariffs on US trade and then the democrats is Congress block any effort to stop it with our own tariffs.

Bullshit. If Dotard has a concern with tariff policy he can go to Congress and persuade members to change it. He does not have the authority to do it unilaterally.

 

[Zincwarrior]

And you think that is workable?

It was until Trump. We had free trade with Mexico and Canada.

PLaintiff attorney on now. Alito is clearly pro-Admin.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Sauer, who is defending the tariff policy as grounded in the power to regulate foreign commerce, said “these are regulatory tariffs. They are not revenue-raising tariffs.”

“The fact that they raise revenue was only incidental,” Sauer argued.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, one of the court’s three liberal members, told Sauer, “You say tariffs are not taxes, but that’s exactly what they are.”

“They’re generating money from American citizens, revenue,” Sotomayor said.

that is wrong Tariffs are not taxes on Us Citizens it effects the Companies importing the items. What the company choses to do about the increase in price to US consumers is not a tax and not the responsibility of the Government

 

[Rawley]

PLaintiff attorney on now. Alito is clearly pro-Admin.

And it took two years to negotiate.

Genius. I answered the question in the post you quoted. Read again.

The problem is not the goal you're trying to accomplish. It's the way you go about trying to accomplish it.

I've said that a zillion times here. Do you have ANY idea why they have no ******* understanding of something so goddamn simple?

 

[Shamrock17]

Here's hoping that Trump keeps his authority to manage tariffs.
Its a much better tool to use than begging.
Please China, don't send fentanyl, don't steal our intellectual property, don't tariff U.S products, don't dump steel, don't...

People who are incapable of putting their partisanship aside don't have the sense to understand the above. It's important to stress that tariffs aren't only bringing some revenue to the US Treasury but they are being used as leverage to keep countries from taking advantage of us. That's the very definition of Maga. Putting the country first instead of bending the knee to countries who have taken advantage of our lopsided trade deals with them.

The economy is still very resilient and robust though it is true, consumer pricing is not coming down. Inflation currently hovering around 3%, not horrible, but could be better but that all said, this should not be undermining the benefit of using tariff as a tool, especially against China.

Is there another example of executive levying taxes though?

it isnt a tax.
