Does some one have an explanation about. who. should negotiate trade policy with the 187 some odd different countries. Congress has been unable to negotiate a budget with itself for the last 20 years. Congress has been unable to pass a single meaningful bill in the last 5 months. Congress no longer passes meaningful laws with detail sufficient to guide the beauracrats. 500 fed district courts apparently have the nation wide injunction function to prevent police from stopping very criminal acts from being done. And the Supreme Court is no longer supreme but rather subservient to the district courts.

Trump started off very well with the Doge, USAID, cabinet, riddance of DEI,etc. The swamp has regrouped and is working hard to shut down the progress. Time for trump to go asymetrical and hit from a new direction.

Trump is the only president in history to win popular vote, Electoral vote, and his party win both congressional chambers and have a favorable idealogical majority in SCOTUS and still be essentially a lame duck from day 1.

What you’re seeing is the effect of decades of political maneuvering and establishing of courts, rules, precedents, agencies, etc all designed to protect the status quo the deep state prefers. It’s impossible to upend it all or circumvent it.

There is only way to fix this, and it is not by peaceful means.

So every tariffs other countries put on the USA is blocked as well, correct?


Negative, all courts, including our own, consistently rule it is acceptable to screw the USA in any capacity.

There’s a greater than 90% chance you’ll vote to reelect your Congressman.

So the court is supposed to have nine justices with no more than 5 from one party.

Four were appointed by Obama and 2 by Biden. Three by Trump.

I’m sure it’s all very judicious.

You run what you brung at the track. Let’s see how this “uncontroversial” works out. I think it will end up similar to your spelling. Good luck.


Not sure what you're trying to say. I spelled uncontroversial the only way I know how. What did I get wrong?

[quote]uncontroversial - adjective - Causing no controversy. [quote]

As for what I wrote, I trusted President Trump on the POLICY of tariffs, I just didn't think he had the authority to impose them without Congressional action. Maybe some of the narrowly defined ones can be tied to some specific emergency, but I doubt it.

If President Trump thinks we need these tariffs he can seek legislation from Congress.

So this court gets to set trade policy for the US and dictate trade terms and conduct foreign policy and whose authority surpasses that of the US president?


No, but it gets to strike down unconstitutional moves from the executive branch overstepping limits on its power.

Tell me about the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974.

1 Obama appointee, 1 Trump appointee, 1 Reagan appointee

1) Congress ceded this authority to the Executive.

2) Tariffs = foreign policy.

This is akin to a state suing the government for imposing sanctions because it would have an adverse economic impact on them.

No I’d rather not. But I think the law you are looking for is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which based on my understanding Trump has invoked. He claimed that our trade deficit is a national emergency, and that premise is what underpins the blanket global tariff. That’s skycreamer type of shite (muh climate crisis, muh COVID).

Did Obama impose tariffs without Congressional approval?

Biden?
