Sounds like he already knows something

I think he’s giving the SCOTUS cover to rule for tariffs.

I’m inclined to think he knows they already will rule in their favor but I can’t be sure.

Tell me if im wrong but isnt it true that the strategy if they rule against him on this one is just to pick another law or statute that could/does give him the ability to levy tarriffs? Because again, correct me if im wrong, but this lawsuit isnt about whether or not the president has the authority to levy tarriffs but whether he has the authority to do so with the avenue he used?

Agree with you. He seems to almost be setting the stage of “ I told you so.”

I sure hope this decision goes our way. I think how he’s handled tariffs have been a stroke of genius and common sense!

Correct. This likely wouldn't stop the putative investments, but any amounts paid under the illegal tariffs would have to be reimbursed unless the court does something very weird/strange to cover for the admin's major error.

There is a work around on that as SC ruled in favor of something similar in OMB first term but Trump doesn’t want a work around

And just like clockwork DJT announces. 25% tariff on any country that does business with Iran.

Makes it harder for SCOTUS to rule against.

Yep, Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974.

There were different tariffs levied against different countries on different basis. Eg, Fentanyl against Canada, México and China; trade imbalances against many; economic security; and national security.

Not an all or nothing proposition either way

That would simply mean SCOTUS is compromised and would mean nothing about Trump.

Why are you moonbats fighting against these tarrifs to begin with? Did Kamala tell y’all it was ok? What’s it like to have to change your convictions when Kamala tells you to?

It's amazing to me that y'all read that and get that out of it.

What he appears to be doing to me is trying to convince the SCOTUS that they have no choice, that he has created a mess so big they can't reverse it even if they want to.

Basically the same ploy the Democrats used and are continuing to use regarding illegal immigration.

But paying all of that money back isn't the SCOTUS' problem and that consideration is not part of their job. The tariffs (at least in this form) are either constitutional or not. How big a mess it will be if they are not should not be part of the decision making formula.

I honestly can’t tell if this an ironic statement to represent the board or a sincere one that implies nothing Trump does is wrong.

The tariffs are obviously working and are doing a great job for our country. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar.

I won’t debate the claim, but you’re saying Supreme Court rulings should be outcome oriented and not oriented on a legal basis?
