The Supreme Court considers Trump's Tariffs

[Lesh]

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.

What war has he ended?

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

The only way the Supremes can rule in Trump's favor is if they entirely trash the Constitution.

The power to levy taxes resides soley with Congress and Congress alone.

The Constitution is unequivocal about that.

If the Supremes rule any other way, then they are an invalid court.

[g5000]

Here's hoping that Trump keeps his authority to manage tariffs.

The president does not have that authority. He is in direct violation of Section 8 of the Constitution.

 

[g5000]

That authority can be granted by Congress.

Yet they haven't. The are submissive cucks with their thumbs up their asses allowing King Trump to usurp their constitutional powers.

 

[Lesh]

Even if SCOTUS agrees completely, Congress is free to pass legislation permitted the executive to negotiate or impose tariffs based on parameters set by Congress.

Based on parameters set by Congress.

Trump has taken Congress completely out of the equation and THAT is against the Constitution

Uncharted territory now. The conservatives sure seemed to be asking questions that would give them a loophole.

Who knows what's going on behind the scenes, how they're being pressured. There is no bottom here. Nothing is off limits.

 

[g5000]

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

Bingo. So simple, even a five year old intellect like Trump should be able to understand.

Yet he still claims they are paid by the exporting countries, and has convinced the cult this is true.

This is one of those times when Trump is either stupid or evil.

Perhaps both.

.

 

[g5000]

Alito actually sounds skeptical as well. Surprising.

That's because he is a strict constitutionalist and knows how to read.

I can guarantee you Trump has never read it, and neither have most of the cult even though they like to make a show of carrying a pocket copy.

 

[g5000]

Negotiating without any power, its called begging.

What special kind of idiot are you that bleevs the most powerful nation on Earth with the largest economy for well over a century has no negotiating power?

My god, how do you people get this stupid? What was the process?

Trump's whining about China is a re-run of his pearl clutching over Japan 40 years ago. Just look how wrong he was then. He's just as wrong now.

It's just astonishing.

I have to assume that these folks have never collaborated with other people. They've never worked with people who are different from them. They have absolutely no ******* idea how things are done outside their ******* porch.

God damn. It's exasperating.

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.

Nope. Not true. Tariffs and shipping add to foreign made cars. The average price for all new cars is $49,000, so adding $12,000 for tariffs makes foreign cars much more expensive.

Here’s How Much Cars Made in the US Cost Compared to Mexico, Canada and China

Most affordable cars are manufactured abroad.

Although President Donald Trump recently announced measures that would soften the blow of tariffs on the auto industry, current tariffs of 25% on imported vehicles into the U.S. will continue. This will likely lead to inflated prices for buyers, as additional costs get tacked on to imported vehicles, which are typically much cheaper than those made in the U.S.

Where do I get a television from?

I just bought a smart TV at BestBuy for $100. Cost is not an issue.

Are you so stupid that you don’t understand that the COMPONENTS of cars made in the US are made offshore… and have tariffs on them?

Where was it made?

Tell that to Reagan. Besides, congress delegated tariff authority to the president.

Media lying by continually writing they are “questioning” when of course the judges Always ask questions

Without Trump there was no negotiating, jus unfair trade.

My god, how do you people get this stupid? What was the process?

Reagan used tariffs. I know you prefer unfair trade, we don't.

Where was it made?

China.

 

[Lesh]

China.

There ya go

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

Yes.



Its all still a complete mess under Trump.

Elect an adult.

What difference does it make if the situation remains the same?

It seems to me that Trump not behaving like an adult is just a personal problem for you and really has nothing to do with your overall issue with the tariff situation. Even if he starts behaving like an adult (to comport with your idea of behaving like an adult), it won't change anything and you'll still blame him for the fucked up situation that every past president and administration is equally guilty of.
