Preeeedictable: Senator Mike Lee Plans Bill To Block Presidential Tariff AuthorityJanuary 13, 2017
Ready yourselves – here we go again. Up is down and down is up.
These “small government CONservatives” do have a rather obvious propensity to consolidate self-serving power when threatened, eh? Crony CONstitutional CONservatives loves them some globalism when Wall Street is paying for their indulgences…
WASHINGTON DC – A staffer for Republican Senator Mike Lee told trade experts at a lunch in Washington this week that he is looking into ways to curtail the president’s wide-ranging powers to impose tariffs, according to one of Lee’s aides.
The aide said a bill could be introduced as early as next week, and it may require Trump to go through Congress to use tariffs.
[…] The aide emphasized that the bill is not just a push against Trump on trade, but part of a broader effort to transfer more legislative power to Congress from the executive branch. (link)
Historically speaking, the constitutional founders understood the executive branch was structurally more aligned with pushing anti-American free trade policy. The founders predicted it would be the President who would push for open border trade, ergo they surmised congress would be the best protectionist check against globalist usurpation.
However, under President Donald Trump it is a patriotic economic nationalist executive branch, focused intensely on protecting America’s employment and manufacturing interests – and it is a modern congress fueled by Wall Street lobbyists willingly selling out middle-class workers.
Yes, as Jefferson rolls underground, the political paradigm has flipped – and with it, the internal usurping agents within congress must modify their angle of approach to ensure their efforts to sell out America’s interests continue.
Once again, we see the Trumpian sledgehammer destroy traditional frames of economic political reference and force sunlight upon the enemy inside the wire. The GOPe globalists can no longer hide, so they’ll circle their wagons and attempt to consolidate power.
Old yeller’s and crony constitutionalists soon to resurface on their behalf in 3…. 2….. 1…..
….”and it took him standing up for people to understand decades of economic deception”…

No longer listen to Levin, and some of the other crooked DC clowns face an election cycle in less than two years.

Sen Mike Lee showed his complete asinine self on the convention floor.
I’m so sick of these sneaky rat RINOs.

Small government CONservatives, just like their big government GOPe colleagues, begin remarkable advocacy for the consolidation of self-serving power when they are threatened by sunlight. I know people want to believe this, but it's just not the truth. It's the small government constitutionalists who have been the leading line of resistance to the efforts of the Uniparty. You can claim otherwise, but that claim is simply false.

The whole country is sick of them. Watch them become an endangered political species in 2018.

I've posted these two articles from Sundance in their entireties because of their importance, so that y'all will thoroughly read and digest the treacherous information. Thank God, our POTUS Trump is so much smarter than all these plotters against him. He knows finance, market and currency manipulation like no other previous president, so these sell-out senators and congressmen are in for a shocker awakening.

Cleaning the swamp includes the Republicans as well. Washington DC is a cess pool of rotten communists that only concern is filling their pockets. They have stolen freedom from Americans with filthy mouthing that they are saving us. From whom? I don’t need saving, I can damn well save myself. Get the hell out of my life, the communists in our government.

Until we start treating them like the anti-American traitorous wretches that they are, they will continue to screw us.

Cruz co-authored an editorial with Paul Ryan urging passage of TPA, the enabling legislation for TPP.
He tried to obfuscate his support during the campaign, just as he tried to obfuscate his ineligibility.

Shapiro, Beck, Levin, Hewitt and Erickson have long been propagandists for the Cheap Labor Express, intent on importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.

Huge hurdle for Trump to overcome those in the Senate and the House (whores) who are getting paid off to legislate against the betterment of the people of this country. The ONLY way that a Representative Republic will ever succeed is for the people to put into office only honorable and honest folks to serve in DC. Regarding the criminal crowd currently in DC, Trump is clearly their worst enemy. It would behoove them all to realize that if they stand in Trump's way in his effort to remove the criminal element in DC that most of the American people are already their worst enemy, hence, the primary reason for the Trump presidency.

"President Trump knows these multi-thousand-page legislative constructs are filled with loop holes..." Indeed they are.
I hope President Trump tells Congress that, hencefoth, no bill will be signed by him if it exceeds ten pages in total, and is worded in plain English, easily understood by the citizens whom they represent.
Furthermore, all bills passed by both houses of Congress should be published and set aside for public comment for a period of ten business days, prior to going to the President's desk for signing.

Excellent article, onyx. Sundance has insights that others simply miss.
President Trump knows these multi-thousand-page legislative constructs are filled with loop holes allowing Wall Streets multinationals to skirt around direct import taxation. Delayed cargo diversion, via geographic third party delivery broker, is one method they use to avoid them.

Problem is, most Americans have very little if any understanding of the issues involved, and the news media does everything it can to keep the masses ignorant of what’s going on. And I heard on Rush today something to the effect that Sessions caved in under questioning and stated he would recuse himself from pursuing some investigation (didn’t get the whole story).
