re: Robert’s insist that tariffs are a tax on the American people, and a tax needs to come

The Obamacare case involved a different legal issue, not tariffs. Apples and Oranges…

That's not a Constitutional power

The vast majority of Executive Branch/POTUS emergency powers are not explicitly stated in the Constitution. Nice try.

Including Biden's unilateral Student Loan forgiveness authority, right?

Robert’s is a POS that’s compromised

Your question is asking why Roberts is considered a total POS? Were you born after say 2014?

he absolutely has the power to sign an EO and declare war (for example) as long as he has a reason in the public's interest of national security, and most importantly does not have to consult Congress. Congress then has to wait 90 days before it can do anything.

Nope.

The War Powers Act limits presidential power, it doesn't expand it as so many people want to believe.

quote:

---

War Power Resolution - Declares that it is the purpose of this Act to fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of the Armed Forces of the United States in hostilities, or in situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities.

Requires that the President shall in every possible instance consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement is clearly indicated by the circumstances.

Provides that in the absence of a declaration of war by the Congress, in any case in which the Armed Forces of the United States are introduced in hostilities, or in situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, such use of the Armed Forces of the United States in hostilities pursuant to this Act shall be reported within 48 hours in writing by the President to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate, together with a full account of the circumstances under which such hostilities were initiated, the estimated scope and duration of such hostilities, and the constitutional and legislative authority under which the introduction of hostilities took place.
...
Within sixty calendar days after a report is submitted or is
required to be submitted pursuant to section 4 ( a ) ( 1 ) , whichever is
earlier, the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed
Forces with respect to which such report was submitted (or required
to be submitted), unless the Congress (1) has declared war or has
enacted a specific authorization for such use of United States Armed
Forces, (2) has extended by law such sixty-day period, or (3) is
physically unable to meet as a result of an armed attack upon the
United States. Such sixty-day period shall be extended for not more
than an additional thirty days if the President determines and certi-
fies to the Congress in writing that unavoidable military necessity
respecting the safety of United States Armed Forces requires the
continued use of such armed forces in the course of bringing about
a prompt removal of such forces

Boom, there is the 90 days exactly as With Honors laid it out. The irony is that it was a left-leaning movie at Harvard. Damn good watch, Pesci's range is incredible.

Whomever might benefit from his compromise.

Regardless, Roberts' Obamacare finding, ruling, and rationale was as contorted as any in the history of the court. It came ~7yrs after the scum bucket's SOTUSCJ appt.

Backstory: Roberts and his wife adopted two infants ~ 2000. The details of the adoption (country of origin of the children, agency used, etc.) have never been made public.

There was suggestion of irregularities in the adoption process. Rumor is the children were born in Ireland but adopted via a Latin American process,

If true, such irregularities would raise questions under both Irish and U.S. adoption law. Rumor is the aberrant adoption process gave political leverage/blackmail concerning Roberts. One would presume, as the kids are now in their mid-20's, such leverage would carry less weight.

But that is the dark explanation for Roberts behavior as SCOTUSCJ.

That doesn't say, "Congress then has to wait 90 days before it can do anything" as you said it did.

Let's try this another way. Tell me how many days, if any, that Congress has to wait if the POTUS declares a war without consulting Congress? Let's not keep going back and forth with stupid lol emojis, let's get a real discussion going.
