We all knew the system would strike back. There are trillions at stake.
UPDATES AT BOTTOM: A federal trade court based out of New York has just ruled in a three-judge decision that President Trump does not have the authority within the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to initiate emergency trade tariffs. [The Ruling is HERE]
WASHINGTON DC – A federal trade court ruled President Trump didn’t have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs on virtually every nation, voiding the levies that have sparked a global trade war and threatened to upend the world economy.
The decision on Wednesday from the Court of International Trade blocked one of the Trump administration’s most audacious assertions of executive power, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, and sets the stage for a possible appeal by the White House.
“The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder,” a three-judge panel wrote. (link)
“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,” the court wrote. The court also ordered that the tariffs that the Trump administration has collected so far be “vacated.”
UPDATE #1: I’m tearing through this ruling right now and I can find several structural flaws in the 3-judge panel decision.
[From Page 6, pdf] “…[…] in 1962, Congress delegated to the President the power to take action to adjust imports when the Secretary of Commerce finds that an “article is being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security.” Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Pub. L. No. 87-794, § 232(b), 76 Stat. 872, 877 (codified as amended at 19 U.S.C. § 1862(c)(1)(A)). This delegation is conditioned upon an investigation and findings by the Secretary of Commerce, and agreement by the President. See id. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, requires that the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) take action, which may include imposing tariffs, where “the rights of the United States under any trade agreement are being denied” or “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country” is “unjustifiable and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” 19 U.S.C. § 2411(a)(1)(A)–(B). The USTR may impose duties also where the USTR determines that “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country is unreasonable or discriminatory and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” Id. § 2411(b)(1). This power is conditioned on extensive procedural requirements including an investigation that culminates in an affirmative finding that another country imposed unfair trade barriers under § 2411(a)(1)(A) or (B) or § 2411(b), and a public notice and comment period. See id. § 2414(b).”… [source]
I’ve just gotten started, but that citation is just one reason why the ruling can be overturned on appeal.
The Sec 301/302 investigation and process noted above was completed by USTR Jamieson Greer, with extensive citation. USTR Greer published a 397-page investigative outcome detailing the “unreasonable and discriminatory” burdens to United States commerce. [SEE HERE pdf]
The New York trade court literally ignored the 2025 USTR investigation, AND the 2025 Dept of Commerce review and investigation of the same based on the USTR published findings. All of those factual investigative findings underpin the Presidential actions taken pursuant to his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
It looks like the trade court didn’t even review the USTR reports.
The USTR link to review all of the legal and trade details on the Trump tariffs IS HERE.
Those COMMUNISTS!
And how many tens of millions of people elected them President of the United States of America?
Time to go the full Monty and ignore all the bullshit court orders.
The People with the most 2A will have Trump’s back.
“The order halts Trump’s 30% tariffs on China, his 25% tariffs on some goods imported from Mexico and Canada, and the 10% universal tariffs on most goods coming into the United States. It does not, however, affect the 25% tariffs on autos, auto parts, steel or aluminum, which were subject to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act – a different law than the one Trump cited for his broader trade actions,”
Check the mirror Jaye Troll!
You my friend are indeed impaired.
Seek help.
She has made many cogent posts.
However, you have made many ridiculous posts.
No. It is not.
Curious, you..
Who died and left you in charge?
The DS is not going to let the people decide.
You mean the DS just wants Americans, poor, sick, and vulnerable.
I assume you forgot, “sarc”?
They don’t care about Americans one way or another. They care about whomever is putting money in their pockets. Period!
…..but just healthy enough and economically desperate enough to work, in order that they can collect the taxes that fund their salaries and exceedingly generous benefits. TFIFY
This really sucks, but….
like it or not, if we are to go by the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land, the president does not have that authority under the Constitution; only Congress has tariff authority (Article I, Sec. 8).
Additionally, Congress does not have the authority to delegate that power to anyone else by legislation. It would take an amendment. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 was never a constitutional, lawful act.
Then let Congress override him.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 was never a constitutional, lawful act.
That seems an assertion that fairly screams for demands of substantiation.
N’est-ce pas?
That is exactly what is going on right now. Run fast and break things, then sort out and target what needs fixing most. Thank Trump for setting this needed reform in motion. This is just the beginning – define the parameters of needed change first. Carry on, DJT.
Maquis,
Good question as it seems precious few here understand the concept the founders used when constructing the Constitution…that of “enumerated” powers. There are some here that do, but precious few. That simply means if the Constitution does not say the feds can do something, then they cannot. Very simple concept as explained over and over in the Federalist Papers by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay.
Think of the Constitution as a permission slip of the ONLY objects the federal government has the authority to address. All others are left to the States.
Does Article II give the President the authority to tariff??…or anywhere else in the Constitution or any amendment? I would challenge anyone here to quote the Section and clause which does this.
On the other hand, does the Constitution give that power to Congress??? Yes, Article I, Sec. 8, clause 1.
Any “law” that purports to give the President that authority is amending the Constitution with a law, not an amendment.
This just happens to be the first time in my long study of the Constitution – decades – that the courts actually made a decision that is not contrary to original intent…and what a terrible time to do it. They use the Constitution when they want to and don’t when they don’t want to, which is most of the time.
As a constitutional republic, we are toast. We are soooooooo far from constitutional compliance, I cannot ever fathom how we can get back to it.
I hope this is understandable. Been lurking for many years and am very familiar with your astute comments here.
Well, in what order do we reorder our affairs and return to letter-perfect obeisance to the Constitution?
We are mostly toast because our entire governmental structure has been captured by a rogue rouge Conspiracy directed by foreign adversaries; every venal flaw we spy in our officials has been sown or cultivated by that enemy.
Is Law-Abiding Captivity moral and just?
Seems to me if the Constitution gives sole tariff authority to Congress, they can legislate whatever the hell they want on tariffs, including delegating any or all of their authority. Their job is to legislate, after all.
Congress didn’t CEDE their authority to the Executive, they said you may do x, y and z if a, b and c.
The only question should be is if Trump ticked off all the boxes laid out in the legislation, not whether Congress was entitled to legislate in the first place.
We can handle this. Right now we expose all the weak points so sweeping reforms can take place. We are up to this task .it is important.
America will stand tall in 2026 – 250th Anniversary and color within the lines at the same time.
But first all the weak points must be exposed .Carry on Mr President, keep flushing them out. Everyone is getting a very good civics lesson right now. We honor the process.
Congress does indeed have the power to delegate any authority they wish.
Where??? Quote the part that does that.
The Supreme Court has a sketchy history in dealing with the Congress delegating authority to parts of the Executive branch. Sometimes they get away with it and sometimes they don’t. This really caused trouble with war making powers when the Congress tried to give themselves the VETO over the President. That was too much for SCOTUS. Unconstitutional delegations have been dribbling out for a long time. This was debated early in the year when regulatory agencies got nailed for making law.
I saw a federal regulatory agency send out a mere letter to those private companies under their control that were being enforced by their compliance examination staff. This goes on all the time.
“AI Overview

The Supreme Court has consistently grappled with the question of how much legislative power Congress can delegate to the President or other executive agencies, a concept known as the nondelegation doctrine. The Court has generally held that Congress cannot delegate its core legislative authority, particularly regarding matters like taxation or setting basic legislative policy. However, the Court has also recognized that Congress can delegate some discretion to executive agencies to fill in the details of laws or carry out their implementation, especially when dealing with complex or technical areas.”
For more about this issue:

You say “Congress does not have the authority to delegate that power to anyone else by legislation.”
And yet, curiously the court directed its ruling to limit the Executive branch who is merely following the law as written rather than against the Congress whom you believe exceeded its authority by over-delegating.
So odd. It’s almost as if this court was issuing a political decision based on the personalities involved rather than a judicial one based on the law. /s/
Time to step up Blondie.
I’ll believe it when I see it… and even then, I’ll need extra convincing.
ROFLOL!
“Who ARE these people??”- Sheriff- “No Country For Old Men”
Where were these Judges (or any Judges for that matter)when Obammy’s Fourth Reich was breaking every law known to the System?
Didn’t the Politburo tell the Supremes to eff themselves on Student Loan Forgiveness?
Noticing ist verboten.
Ja ja
Swine in black robes assume abdicated powers of Congress and assume executive ones.
Our vote is being denied by the Judiciary- this is an attack upon We The People…
And guess what happens when the population starts really getting that we can’t vote our way out of this.
Our vote was for President of the United States. Not for the President acting unconstitutionally.
Your vote was for Winnie the Pooh so keep out of it.
How is it unconstitutional?
Our vote? Did you vote for President Trump? Step up and tell the truth for once in your life. As for the rest of your post, who decides what is unconstitutional, the deep state?
He’s not acting unconstitutionally. Stop it!

Asking for a friend…and a friend of a friend…
How long until ‘We the People’ see an enactment of ‘the man who wanted to be left alone’?
If this is not ‘election interference’, I don’t know what is.
It is a dangerous game of ‘sore losers’ at the highest levels.
The population slows down, gathers up the patterns and then strategically moves for change. That is what it does. And works 24/7 to elect a solid 2026 GOP Congress. That is what it does, instead of lobbing spit balls from the peanut gallery.
Are we a sovereign country or not?
Appears not.
We are not, and you already know it. The Constitutional Republic was cast aside long ago and won’t be coming back. DJT is a good man and believes in Americans, but he is just one man. The globalists handily took control of the Legislative, Judicial and IC branches of government. We’re living through the outcome of that capture right now.
So do we start dressing like “Road Warrior” now, or does a certain amount of time have to pass?
Insufferable!
The Jackson moment draws nearer, I suspect.
I already know which way SCOTUS will likely lean on this.
Cant deport illegals. Cant stop funding wars in foreign lands. Cant reorient corporate manufacturing/trade. Cant have a national identity/heritage.
Real representative democracy we have on our hands. Got to be a better way.
And if they get their way you won’t be able to say this
They want civil war
They’re liable to get it.
The Trade Court has supremacy over the US Constitution?
No, it does not.
Read Article I for Congress‘ powers (power to tariff).
Read Article II for executive powers. (no power to tariff).
We either have a Constitution or we don’t.
I hate to say the court, in this case, is correct. At the most critical time in our history, they decide to actually make a correct constitutional decision.
Sorry, but Congress ceded that power to the Executive long ago.
You, go here!

This is beyond maddening.
Unbelievable.
Supremes…the ball is about to be in your court.
A majority of justices on the Supreme Court have expressed a view, through one opinion or another, that the Federal Courts are Superior to the Executive Branch IN ALL THINGS. They take an “imperial” view of Judicial authority. Imperial, as in “divine right of kings”, who they consider themselves to be. The Supreme Court has recognized NO LIMITS on their authority since Trump took office.
Only if it’s Justices Thomas and Alito.
The line between the governing class and the working class grows darker and wider every day. They just keep pushing. There appears to substantively be only one person in the governing class being guided by the interest of the citizens.
I do not see any meaningful fight in the American people so I am quite sure I do not want to know where we are going from here.
Most of the American people find politics too divisive, too complicated, too far outside their wheelhouse to comprehend…the massive numbers of social issues brought forth from the demoncrats, have gained ground in destroying our once great nation.
Those that desire the nanny state far outnumber those who want to be left alone.
My personal experience mirrors this insight. However, it’s not new. I noticed the same thing 40-50 years ago, absent the life experience to fully understand the dynamics and to a certain degree accepting the peer and societal pressure to go along to get along. Still, I was that guy out in the country all the neighbors knew was ‘different’.
People, in general, greatly value their comfortable lives and will go far to maintain that lifestyle, even if giving up freedom and liberty in the process. The Chinese Communists read us well. Violence wasn’t the way, like with the Bolsheviks. Comfort works.
And the use of comfort to overcome resistance has a long and storied history that goes back to Croesus. After his capture by Cyrus, Sardis, the chief city of his kingdom (Lydia) rebelled. Rather than razing the city (it was a jewel of its day) or establishing an expensive permanent police force that would be under constant duress, instead he established brothels, taverns and public games and issued a proclamation that the populace enjoy themselves. He never had to worry about a Lydian revolt again.
This policy, of course, under the Romans, became known as panem et circenses, and, under the MArxian revolutionaries as demoralization.
And now you know why we have welfare, SNAP, NFL, video games, Pornhub, legalized marijuana…
Amazing how D presidents always have the right to destroy our country and citizens never have standing.
But let Trump try to restore our country and suddenly the president has no power at all and illegals and foreign countries have standing
That is the honest truth I’m sorry to say.
So, who is going to enforce this?
They couldn’t steal this election so now they are just giving the people the middle finger.
Huh
Sounds like a government shutdown to me
Trump’s most valuable assett is the collective will of the American people
Right now, the people who elected him are HIS only asset.
I suggest his support has expanded beyond Trump voters
The tariff’s ‘vacated’? That’s rich. The Constitution continues to be trashed by rogue Leftist courts.
Only Congress can impose tariffs. There obviously is not an emergency with EVERY country on earth – including those with only penguins residing there.
Trade cheaters evade tariffs via transshipping through third parties.
There’s only one way to reset a mendacious fallacious system, and it’s fighting back.
Those damned penguins deserve everything they have coming to them.
That’s just being facetious.
The point of implementing tariffs against the island with penguins on it, same as elsewhere was not leaving openings for transhipment through third parties to cheat the import tariffs from shipping direct. We know China cheats by doing this.
Treehouse has evidently graduated to attracting Chinese trolls. Naturally they attempt to spread their left wing communist manifesto.
The chinese spies have been in this tree for well over a decade.
How many defected after reading too much Truth I wonder? Same for the Feebs..
“There obviously is not an emergency with EVERY country”
Isn’t there? I suggest you get from under your Hunter Biden crack cocaine rock!
I don’t think that as a Chinese troll, you should be telling Americans what is constitutional.
when has congress imposed tariffs?
and when has congress took action against other countries imposed tariffs on us?
only purchase products made in America
time to get tough MAGA
and no trips to England, etc. giving them our dollars
no vacationing in Cabo in January
no going to hockey games in Canada
no purchasing cars made out of the country
no KIA’s, no Hyundai’s, no BMW’s, etc.
Congress ceded tariff policy to the Executive branch long ago.
If you believe that the American economy is not in an emergency condition, YOU are dumber than your posts. Move to Cuba or North Korea, you’ll fit right in.
They are already in China.
““The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder,” a three-judge panel wrote.”
At this point all nations who have paid tariffs will come after the United States in United States courts, specifically chosen due to being highly liberal, and those courts will give them anything they want if it thwarts President Trump.
I would expect China in particular to come after tariffs paid in the first Trump administration.
And liberals will cheer them on.
Wait and see.
Order CBP to slow the import process. 100% exams. All containers 100% devanned (btw importer pays for this).
Direct CBP import specialists to use appraisement entries (do not accept transaction value). Appraise shipments at a high value.
No more pre-filing consumption entries, require “live” entries (duty paid before release). Before long, the proposed tariffs will not look so
bad to the protesting countries.
Hmm…. the process is the punishment.
Let them all have their fill of it.
Then, there’s also malicious compliance.
What the heck is the ‘Court of International Trade’? Never even heard of this crap.
Like the “International Monetary Fund” it means whatever they want it to mean.
Like all inferior Article III courts, this one was established by Congress, most recently in 1980:
“In 1956, the U.S. Customs Court was reconstituted by Congress as an Article III tribunal, giving it the status and privileges of a federal court. The Customs Courts Act of 1980 established the U.S. Court of International Trade in its current form, granting it jurisdiction over all trade matters and conferring its judges with life tenure.” (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_International_Trade )
This court is unrestricted geographically, but is limited to issues involving international trade. Sounds like the three-judge panel has decided that the President exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The President will of course appeal this immediately, if necessary to the Supreme Court, maybe arguing that the burgeoning Federal debt of $37 trillion constitutes a National Economic Emergency (which of course it does!).
The Congress could clarify and expand the President’s tariff power under the IEEPA, but given that the Democrats will not vote for anything that helps President Trump, there is no way to pass new legislation in the Senate (unless we get rid of the 60-vote ‘filibuster’ limit, which of course we should).
The President could find other authorities in the Law to continue his tariff initiatives. Failing this, sounds like we have to rely on the Supreme Court to nix this decision. It had better happen soon, or the whole MAGA Re-industrialization effort will collapse. It is not just trillions at stake, but the whole future of the Republic.
It is not just trillions at stake, but the whole future of the Republic.
Much rejoicing in dark places at this move.
The fools at the trough don’t recognize that they are themselves on the menu, too busy gorging on greed.
Eff the Trade Court. Ignore them just like the Bidumb presidency ignored everything.
ONE MORE TIME. The Constitution created three branches of government. If the Executive Branch has no control over tariff’s, which branch does? The Legislature? The Judicial? How does this work, exactly. It seems that the Judiciary intends to assume Executive authority over every single decision the Executive makes, as if it’s a superior, even IMPERIAL branch. Where does this judge get his authority to limit Presidential authority?
This is just another version of the Democrat’s Socialist Coup d’etat ™.
Both the judiciary and the MSM are now the enemy of the people.
Nightmarish decision!
The commie lawfare bastards. It sickens me!
Well, then Team Trump should tell all of these countries that if they want to do business in the USA then they better sign a document agreeing to the Tariff Previously Known as the Emergency Tariff or else they will be barred from doing business in the USA permanently.
If they agree to the tariff in the short term while we hammer out the long term tariffs then their complaints are moot.
fine we will drop all tariffs but now all imports will carry a surcharge to enter the country.
Another great idea.
Those of decent mind won’t want to buy anything foreign now. Boycott them all!
Captured, Judicial Insurrection.
Picture my shocked face.
I wonder if now is the time for POTUS to make the, “court” enforce their, “ruling”?
Or better yet, if some info is dropped/leaked demonstrating corruption within this specific, “court”!
Since, as we know , Economic Security = National Security this FTC ruling is nattempting to castrate the POTUS politically and render him ineffectual and has now given fodder to our diverse “economic adversaries” criticisms and Machiavellian maneuvers resulting in undermining not only past but future negotiations. They’ll, in effect , thumb their noses at him.
Though Trump may win on appeal, the damage done is incalculable.
In one swoop they’ve severed two of Trumps three legged stool!
Fight, fight and fight some more as we know only he can !
Found this article on this particular (there are a few others) lawsuit against the tariffs, on the National Association of Home Builders website:
https://www.nahb.org/blog/2025/05/court-international-trade-trump-tariffs-hearing
Pretty sure this will be appealed by the next higher court, and then by the Supreme Court. It’s a process, and with each lawsuit the coup by the third branch of the govt. continues to unfold. Swamp desperate to destroy MAGA in order to keep its power unmitigated.
and this is the actual lawsuit that this ruling resulted from; 25 pages pdf format:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cit.17080/gov.uscourts.cit.17080.2.0.pdf
it lists the 5 small businesses that brought the lawsuit in the heading. Wonder what their customers will think, given that China appears to be one of the largest suppliers of these companies products.
3 judges – 1 an Obama judge, but 1 Trump appointed and 1 Reagan judge
Bought and paid for.
So what? People appointed under conservative leadership generally stop pretending to be conservative the moment they have the position they want. Explain the records of Roberts, ACB, anything GOP in the Senate, etc. Since we do nothing, it will only get worse from here.
Quite simply, they do not believe the same things we do and there is NO downside whatsoever to their behavior.
ahem….they were not conservative in the first place
The good news is after every nation does a bi-lateral trade agreement with the US this court decision is rendered moot.
there is no longer any incentive to do bi-lateral trade agreements. All will be abandoned. They were only started to try to reduce their tariffs.
This will massively again increase our trade deficits and hurt the economy. Adding billions more to the debt that the tariffs were paying down some.
Recession imminent now as fewer good jobs coming back to US, more off-shoring and H1b’s, etc. more US debt,
Technically I think the court is correct, President cannot declare an emergency instantly with every country on the planet. US Const = US Congress sets tariff policy. The other countries used their system to over decades of time to add in the tariffs, VAT’s etc to gain advantages legally through their Parliaments.
Any country however completing a bi-lateral trade agreement will be bound by that new document if it is properly signed by all authorities. Which I believe none have so far.
Trump’s big beautiful budget bill is going to add 5 Trillion to the debt. Trump was counting on some tariff funds collections to reduce that some so he can spend like crazy like he always does.
The emergency is our dearth of industrial and manufacturing capacity.
It is our dependence on an economic system structured to enslave and enfeeble us.
Every effort to thwart President Trump’s tariffs is an act of war on behalf of foreign adversaries.
But, we have the control. Everyone boycott all foreign goods.
No, we don’t have that degree of discipline in this nation of psychotic cats.
So other countries can issue tariffs on the US but we cannot put tariffs on them?
I’ll NEVER again respect the Federal Courts or Supreme Court. The judges and justices have proven that they prefer to be politicians, over and above Constitutional court officers.
It’s the Chief Justice Robert’s clown show. He’s destroyed his own court.
It’s puppets all the way down, and they work damned hard to put strings on the choke points of freedom.
Furthermore, I consider that the Derp State MUST be destroyed!!
If these judges want to be President, then they should resign and run for President.
This is what Bukele meant when he said you cannot make America Great without getting rid of corrupt judges.
When? When will We the People stand up? 🇺🇲
I’m getting more than a little tired of people on this site (and others) slamming Attorney General Pam Bondi (altering her name to Blondi). She’s only been on the job a few months and she has a tremendous job ahead of her trying to clean up the mess left to her by previous Attorney Generals such as Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, etc. By the way, when was the last time we had a decent, honest Attorney General? Maybe Robert Kennedy, the President’s brother (nepotism)?
Time is the one thing you can never get back.
We the People want to see some Justice, not Faux interviews.
Just for your info ,it is Blondi,prove me wrong.
I don’t alter other people’s names. Mrs. Bondi deserves my respect. And yes, I have noticed her hair.
I believe its MISS Bondi. I don’t think she’s married to the Democrat who advocates for DEI
At this time of our nation’s history, it is vital to stop pretending to not know things, if our nation is to get through these dark times.

Wake up. Your girl Scammy is a corrupt bimbo with a room temperature IQ – How does she even have a license to practice, she doesn’t even understand due process. Run back to FL Scammy your pal Jill is waiting.
The last time I was this pissed off is when Mar-A-Lago was raided!🤬🤬🤬
And then they tried to kill him THRICE!
The deep state is rendering PT powerless…..
Sundance, can you please explain where this court gets it’s power from ,and how it can tell President Trump what to do. Also why have we never heard about it.
LOL, the Supreme Court has invoked election nullification, to “stop Trump”. He may be President, by vote of the American people, but they’ll countermand EVERY single decision he makes, or action he attempts. Robert’s is the author of a Judicial Coup d’etat. The US Supreme Court has become a historically, ugly institution, forever corrupt. This court will make Dred Scott look impartial and just by comparison, and that decision “only” launched a civil war.
I guess Roberts is fully committed to CW2, in order to “stop Trump” (in several Justices own words).
“Really, its you they are after, I just stand in the way”.
And David Plouffe’s remark of “must be thoroughly destroyed, his kind must never rise again”. The quote lives but links seem to have been scrubbed, 404 errors.
We are his kind that they seek to put down.
Time to Rise.
You are correct. Plouffe’s damnable call to eliminate PDJT has largely been scrubbed from search engine results.
So what happens? Does he have to give all the tariff monies back and drop them now or do things stay as is whilst he goes through appeal or Congress creates relevant new Law or what?
Makes by blood boil!
How can the Article 1 powers of Congress cancel out the Article 2 foreign policy powers of the President with this IEEPA law? Utterly absurd. How do the plaintiffs even have “standing”? This so-called court probably expects President Trump to spend most of his term appealing this back and forth and ultimately to the Supreme Court, which will use Article 3 powers it does not have to again cancel out his Article 2 powers. While appealing this ruling, he needs to make known that he will not obey it and cite Article 2 for his basis in doing so.
it was fun while it lasted
this hit of Narcan should start to kick in soon on the Hopium
I think I know where this is going
nope.
call every country and advise them they will voluntarily pay the tariff or the usa will make their life miserable.
another option is to veto the budget advising congress that once the courts have been defunded pdjt will sign the bill.
at this point does the “country” even exist?
[R]uled … that President Trump does not have the authority within the IEEPA to initiate emergency trade tariffs.
Yet that is exactly why the IEEPA exists. The act gives POTUS a wide swath of authority if there is a declared national emergency or threat (which there is by PDJT47 proclamation signed right after his inauguration.)
The judges think they can prevent WW3, they can’t, and their actions just weaken America.
We are not responsible for the world.
They are trying to start WW3 not prevent it.
That is what I meant. I was angry when I tapped it!
Seems President Trump has two options. Start ignoring the judges and their rulings and be president or go home and let the judges finish his term. I know President Trump wants to follow the law but what is the answer when the judges don’t.
Arrest them.
“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA…’
ummmm. I dont believe the IEEPA or these 3 clowns supercede the US Constitution.
PDJT should claim inherent emergency powers under Article II of the Constitution to suspend IEEPA, arguing it interferes with his foreign affairs authority.
I do hope PDJT takes a page out of President Andrew Jackson’s book!
The Court of international Trade is located in Lower Manhattan and has lifetime appointments made by the President with advise and consent of the Senate. The judge who is now Chief justice was appointed by Barack Obama.
The court was established in 1980 under Article III.
I admit I’d never heard of it before.
