The Supreme Court considers Trump's Tariffs

[Mac-7]

Congress IS the power in that regard as per the Constitution moron

Not since it delegated that authority to the executive branch, decades ago

And oh by the way, go **** yourself

Not even the supremes are able to figure out if it is delegated. If you cant tell. It isnt delegated.

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?

Not sure about this case in particular but if the Court history is any indication, the ruling will come several months from now; even if they rule against the blob, there will be no remedy for those of us who have had to pay more just because he didn’t like someone. .

Its an interesting question with the Roberts court....

If they found the ACA is just a tax; it would seem that they would have no choice but to find this to also be a tax. And that authority belongs to Congress.

Of course that ruling on the ACA was made back before we entered the bizarro world.

The Supreme’s can and often do interpret the law according how they feel that day

And I have no idea what their collective whim is on this

We’ll soon find out

Thanks to Trump, 63 countries have lowered their tariffs on our goods. Why is that a bad thing?

LOL...sure.

The point of the tariff was to re-shore jobs. What you’re really saying is that the 63 countries have kept the industries that once were here in order to keep jobs that once were ours.

Of course you’ll whine like a little ***** some other nebulous point....but you can’t escape the fact above.

I doubt we will but we need an adult in the office not beholding to billionaires.

That's "beholden", I believe. Anyway, so what's Obama's and Biden's excuse? Or any other president for that matter?

Any lopsided deals were brought on by corporate interests.

Is that Trump's fault?

 

[candycorn]

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...

You like paying for for things?

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Putting aside that factually inaccurate narrative, tariff policy is not trump's to make. Full stop.

1.) What, exactly, was inaccurate?

2.) I didn't say tariff policy was Trump's to make.

Here is often the issue. I condemned them for the same things.

Throwing them in does nothing to negate my argument.

Is that Trump's fault?

Now? Yes.

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Here is often the issue. I condemned them for the same things.

And were they also beholden to billionaires?

Throwing them in does nothing to negate my argument.

I don't know what your argument is other than blasting Trump for trying to do something where no one tried before.

Now? Yes.

No it's not.

This mess is of our own making and that of Congress and past administrations.

I've said before and I'll say it again: Trump would never have won two elections if things like trade and illegal immigration - among many other things - had not gotten so out of hand. It got so bad that people wanted something done even if it seemed like it wouldn't work.

Its all still a complete mess under Trump.

Elect an adult.

There would need to be a constitutional amendment to do that.

Reagan used tariffs. If they weren't a problem then they aren't a problem now.

I don't have to, if I buy things Made in the USA.

 

[candycorn]

You do realize that domestic manufacturers are raising their prices as well, right? US Cars should be tens of thousands cheaper than foreign models. Instead, in most cases, they are still far more expensive.

Poor you. You have to keep this up for 3 more years of King Trump.

Where do I get a television from?

 

[Nostra]

One could try negotiations. Remember Trump said he was the absolute best negotiator. Everytime he tries though he gets his ass kicked.

Remember what he said about the person that negotiated out last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico.

He negotiated the end of 8 wars in 8 months.

How many major trade deals has he inked due to his use of tariffs?

You clowns would have us continue to be screwed on trade deals by every country on Earth. Mainly because you hate America.
