If the courts are going to decide everything what's the point of the people deciding what THEY want?

1. Did you ever vote for (or against) a tariff?

2. Did Congress (our elected representatives) ever vote for the tariffs that are under dispute before the Supreme Court?

No, but I voted for the current President, who campaigned on said measures. I knew what his plan was prior to casting my vote for him. President Trump is just delivering on his campaign promises. And I would guess any change to tariffs coming from congress is subject to the 60 vote cloture Senate rules and as such will die on the vine there. So, I support the President’s attempt to accomplish what the do-nothing Congress won’t.

Disingenuous question. We don’t vote directly on issues but rather for people who run on stated policies, principles and vision for the country. Come on now, you know that.
