I don’t know enough about constitutional law to give a worthy opinion here, but this would absolutely crush Trumps momentum going forward. Tariffs are a huge part of his platform.

How has this not been decided already in our past?

Maybe by a small faction of crazies.

Normal people will not be upset if he's punished for ignoring the Constitution and acting overtly illegally.

That's the sort of treason the Founders installed the removal clause to punish, literally.

I don't think any President has ever tried to use this law, or a similar one, in a manner that Trump has.

The democrats are going to keep pushing until the silent majority crushes what’s left of the party, like a little brother who keeps hitting his older brother until he gets his arse kicked.

You apparently don’t know what treason or literally mean.

You also apparently don’t know anyone in the intel community or you would have a very different view of where we are, how close we came to kinetic violence had Butler gone differently or what the consequences for another attempt to remove Trump on spurious grounds would very likely be.

Blatantly violating the Constitution is the opposite of spurious. You can't minimize how much of a big deal this would be.

Again, a small number of crazies who are likely already removed from reality may act irrationally and on brand.

Normal people will see this as highly illegal and borderline treason, in the Constitutional, not criminal, sense.

It would be the best thing that could possibly happen to him.

The courts would stop the idiocy before it became obvious how bad an idea the tariffs are and the cult members would interpret the ruling just like they already are...that it's the Deep State picking on Trump rather than Trump violating the Constitution. So they (y'all) would be all galvanized and pumped up.

Or alternatively, fricking Congress could just get off their asses and implement the tariffs legally. Then it doesn't matter what a court says.

I don't know what the benefit of having both houses of Congress is when you just let the POTUS sit around signing EOs that will only last until Democrats get in the WH again.

That would be my guess as well.

I mean, look...you had to know that was a blatant attempt at a loophole.

You had to know that someone would try to call him on it.

So is your argument:

1. Trump ignoring the Supreme Court wouldn't violate the Constitution?

2. That violation would only be spurious?

3. Violating the Constitution by ignoring the Supreme Court would not be seen as a big deal by the majority of the country?

The decision was 7-to-4. The dissent, which was joined by the court's chief judge, is well-reasoned. Time will tell.

Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution vests the power to lay and collect tariffs with Congress.

ummmmm
quote:

The Supreme Court held that the challenged provision "does not, in any real sense, invest the president with the power of legislation." Rather, because the provision required the President to suspend duty-free treatment for certain goods if he found another country's duties were "reciprocally unequal and unreasonable," it made the President "the mere agent of the law-making department." Thus, the Court explained, the challenged provision called upon the President not to make law, but simply to execute a law enacted by Congress.


Try Again. Because according to the Supreme the laws have already been made. The prez is the agent of the law, not the individual members of Congress

He doesn't get to add executive authority (or agency, to use your term) outside of the limits of the particular statute.

Trump can’t really ignore the decision on this one. He can’t force companies to pay taxes they are not legally required to pay.
