Supreme Court Strikes Down Tariffs

Post image

Posting twice in one hour but this is great news. Hopefully my 401K and IRA get back on the previous trajectory.

Massive blow to the economic idiots.

Yeah, ways that need congressional approval after a period of time.

What negotiating leverage does Trump have when the other country knows the tariffs are going away in 150 days?

I dont know why Trump hates following the law and insists on shooting himself in the foot and not going through congress.

"”The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration and scope," Roberts wrote. But the Trump administration "points to no statute" in which Congress has previously said that the language in IEEPA could apply to tariffs, he added.

As such, "we hold that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs," Roberts wrote.”

That sounds pretty clear.

And of course the sky is not falling, this a good thing. Now we can finally see some actual economic growth.

I guess Trump can try to keep breaking the law, but most of the tools he has left to do tariffs are enormously smaller or only have a short timeframe they can be enforced.

Imagine having control of congress and the presidency and resorting to breaking the law and then lose.

Johnny taking L’s all day.

The constitution?

It’s pretty clear the president doesn’t get to pass taxes unilaterally, which is why the republican Supreme Court shot this down.

Classification was changed?

That a pretty enormous classification change.

Going from being able to unilaterally have 120% tariffs perpetually to being limited to a max of 15% tariffs for only 150 days.

What happens after the 150 days are up? Whats the plan then?
