A U.S. federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs from going into effect, ruling that the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy.
Yes I’m sure this would have been the one time the neolib/cons at congress would have acted against their own interests.
Beside the point. You want tariffs? Follow the law, it’s that simple
To govern within the boundaries of the law, one often needs to build coalitions. Those are guardrails established by democracy
Oh I agree. I just also happen to know that the people who should be imposing this tariffs are the ones with the biggest incentives not to do so, so they won’t do it. Look at all the disgusting things they let him get away with and the one thing that would upended the economic order in ways that would not benefit the elites got stopped.
I had some hope that this would be the one thing to slip by. Instead they will let him send people to foreign gulags without due process. But nope, don’t touch the billionaires supply chains! That’s no bueno.
