These judges are committing treason. Are they above the law? What will the FBI do?

I think the Administration’s legal position on the 10% across the board tariffs is pretty weak. A stronger argument with the targeted tariffs.

This court answers to someone other than the United States of America.

Treason.

It's really amazing how Trump's re-election is showing just how much law and bureaucracy has been setup to make sure that the bureaucrats and the ruling class can never be held accountable by the elected government.

So the argument against Trump is that the disaster of trade deficits didn't happen fast enough to constitute an emergent condition.

That's like showing up at an emergency room feeling ill only to be turned away because it's a diagnosis of slow moving metastatic cancer.

Nothing is preventing the businesses from getting what they need , theyll just pay more for it. Just like we all paid more when Biden was pumping out trillions of dollars for illegal aliens and green initiative. Seems like an easy appeal. They cant stack every court.

Once the judges declare that they are now in charge of the nation’s foreign policy, Trump’s next step needs to be the declare the tariffs under a different law. There are several laws that give the president certain tariff powers.

Then he needs to start campaigning in every Congressional district and state where there are Republicans in Congress opposing helping him on the tariff issue and call for them to be primary challenged if they do not pass new legislation explicitly giving the president these rights written in a way that even the most activist judges could not overturn them. He needs to also do this to target Dems in Rust Belt states that he won. Make it clear they are for Wall St and the big multinational outsourcers and not for US workers or for forcing fair trade deals to help the American economy in its precarious high-debt situation. Do everything possible to paint the Dems and the anti-Trump Repubs as elitists fighting against the little people. In the end, this could even be a helpful thing in a much larger sense.

This is a huge cornerstone of Trump’s economic agenda. If they torpedo the trade deals he’s working out because he has this leverage currently or force us to take much weaker deals by taking away his biggest bargaining chip, this could be very economically harmful while Trump has us pointed in the direction of a huge economic boom. He better be working on a wide variety of strategies of getting around the judicial tyrants and their usurpation of his presidential powers.

The Court defined these boundaries regarding tariffs in a landmark decision from 1892, Field v. Clark. Marshall Field & Co. objected to tariffs placed on sugar, molasses, coffee, tea, and hides under the Tariff Act of 1890, which directed the president to place such levies when other nations used tariffs the president “may deem to be reciprocally unequal and unreasonable.” Marshall Field claimed Congress had improperly granted legislative powers to the president.

In his majority opinion, Justice John Marshall Harlan said the president was acting in his executive role executing a congressional policy. “What the president was required to do was simply in execution of the act of Congress. It was not the making of law. He was the mere agent of the lawmaking department to ascertain and declare the event upon which its expressed will was to take effect.”

The left screams and cries that Trump is trying to be a king, but then they try to make him just like the figurehead UK monarch, who has no political power.

“Last month, five domestic businesses filed a lawsuit in a little known trade court in New York challenging Trump’s tariffs, arguing they have to rely on imported goods that are not reasonably available to them in the U.S.”

Tough. That’s their problem.
