Trump's 'emergency' tariffs shot down again
They have been deemed unlawful and that Trump doesn't have executive authority to implement them

I had to laugh at his response that if he doesn't win at appeal the whole of the United States is in serious danger of collapse. Talk about a 'Messiah Complex'. He just sounds more and more like a three year-old who's been told 'no' for the first time.

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 allows the president to impose tariffs on imports deemed a threat to national security.
Unfair Trade Practices:
Other laws, like Section 301, grant the president authority to retaliate against unfair foreign trade practices, including imposing tariffs.

Well given that he has only had the courage to implement a very watered down version of the advertised "freedom day" tariffs, it won't be too difficult to unravel his illegal tax imposition ☺
It was bound to happen

Of course they were ! Since there is no longer anyone to sabotage Trump's administration from within ,the District judges now have to step in and issue rulings that are clearly not withing the scope of their authority.Lawfare 2.0.

@DavidT8899 Law is not within the scope of the authority of the judiciary? 🤔

@SunshineGirl Ruling on matters that the judiciary clearly has no power over is .The judges are not supposed to have supreme and unquestioned authority any more than the President does.

@DavidT8899 They don't have unquestioned authority. Trump has questioned the decision and will appeal to the Supreme Court.
The court ruled that Trump acted illegally in invoking emergency executive powers to introduce extraordinary taxes. Had he not overstepped his authority and passed the law through Congress, as he should have done, there would be no issue today.
Pisspoor preparation leads to pisspoor results . .
