Sanctions fall under executive power, but sanctions require a target and rationale.

Broadside tariffs are closer to an import tax & usually fall under purview of Congress.

The difference between the tariffs just announced vs the previous wave is that tariffs implemented under 122 have a maximum life of 150 days.

SCOTUS decision reinstates some stability around US trade policy.

Some of you talk about tariffs like you have them confused with a salary bonus lmfao.

Legislate? Nahh. Just arbitrarily change the word "tax" to "penalty". Boom. Done.

This is probably why targeted sanctions coming down from the executive were always considered kosher.

It’s more difficult to call it a sanction when it’s just 10% across the board.

One scenario requires a target and rationale. The other is closer to just being an import tax.

tariffs are gone forever?

Not at all.

quote:

tariffs can no longer be tweeted. (There will be) downstream economic boon & stability (as a result of going back to) having to legislate, clearly define, and commit to trade policy.

---

Requiring votes on changes to trade policy means no wiggle room for rug pulls or market manipulation & actually gives more weight to threats of sanctions.

This will never change. More 2A Dems than you might think.

3 judges dissented on a ruling that basically amounts to “trade policy shouldn’t be dictated by the president’s tweets.”

That’s actually incredible & doesn’t prove what you think it does.

The Legislative branch has willingly ceded much of its authority to the Judicial because members of Congress don’t want to make hard decisions and endanger their re-election prospects.

Accurate analysis of what is happening, but it shouldn’t be — I would argue the legislative branch has an obligation to its role under the constitution.

That was part of the fun IMO. Wade got guard talent, but Brady had some monsters.

Swift, Bass, Thomas, Davis. Completely dominant collegiate post players. Thornton and Darrel Mitchell were his best guards, scary to think what he might’ve done with a Waters or Smart.

Mitchell played out of his mind in that tournament though. I vaguely remember him doing something dumb like 3 pt, steal, 3pt and-one within a very short amount of time to keep that final four run alive. Can’t recall the opponent.

He wasn’t on anyone’s radar living in Tyrus’ shadow most of the season, but he was arguably MVP that March. Wound up in the NBA in the end.

One of my favorite basketball tigers ever.

Also, tRant isn’t a random cross-section of the US… but it’s certainly more random than the poli board.

It’s really not even that bad unless you wander into a residential area north of Florida blvd.

Jefferson hwy is north of the split lol.

Towne Centre & even midcity are fun places to hang out.

Razorback basketball doesn’t get enough respect.
