The Trump appointee was a Democrat appointed as part of a deal
A voice vote in August 2019 was in the middle of the Article III wars.
I’d be suspicious of the guy. Not all Trump judges were picked by Trump. Many of them were picked by Mitch McConnell and his minions.
Voice vote meant there was no argument from the Democrats.
More than a few. They may be a Ukrainian theorist, they may be a free trader, maybe they were for Romney, or DeSantis… And they love anything that they perceive gets even with Trump. Some of the same ones also very much enjoyed seeing the January Sixers locked up and resented them getting pardons.
And the Trump appointee, Democrat Timothy Reif, agreed that the Administration overreached.
And it’s more than just the 37 trillion, it’s actually far more than that. And it’s not just money, it’s the fact that all of our manufacturing was stripped mind and sent to the Third World, especially China. And if you listen to DC, we are on the verge of war with China, with Russia, with Iran, and God only knows who else. The tariffs are addressing that fact and have a goal of bringing manufacturing home. That’s not a national emergency I don’t know what it is.
Former freeper "joesbucks" doesn't get to spew his January Sixther hate around here any more, ever since he got booted for hating on Ashli Babbitt...
Let’s take this in reverse order.
NO. The court didn’t “issue a worldwide injunction against all tariffs.” To the contrary, many are still allowed. As the article says, “The ruling left in place any tariffs that Trump put in place using his Section 232 powers from the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. He put a 25% tax on most imported autos and parts, as well as on all foreign-made steel and aluminum. Those tariffs depend on a Commerce Department investigation that reveals national security risks from imported products.”
And now to address your second point about “a couple of people c[a]me whining.” It wasn’t a couple people. It was five businesses that were negatively impacted by the tariffs: V.O.S. Selections, FishUSA, Genova Pipe, MicroKits LLC, and Terry Precision Cycling. [Here’s an overview of VOS:

Any party, individual, corporation, church, or state authority has the right to challenge laws they think to be unconstitutional. As it happens, the plaintiffs got widespread support:
“The legal battle against Trump’s tariffs has created unusual bedfellows, uniting states led by Democratic governors with libertarian groups – including the Liberty Justice Center – that often seek to overturn government regulation of businesses. A dozen states have filed suit against Trump’s tariffs in the New York trade court.”
Miami look Harris lost your never Trump is getting tiresome Congress have than power to the President in 1962 it will be overturned on appeal
Reagan also had Iran Contra
Interesting if true. Share a link, please.
Which is what I posted above. The court didn’t toss out all tariffs. You might have missed it, so here t’is again:
“The ruling left in place any tariffs that Trump put in place using his Section 232 powers from the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. He put a 25% tax on most imported autos and parts, as well as on all foreign-made steel and aluminum. Those tariffs depend on a Commerce Department investigation that reveals national security risks from imported products.”
Look at his Wikipedia page. Those Lefty goomers over there proudly publish that fact.
Jane A. Restani took senior status in 2015 at 67 years old. She could have held on for a couple of years for a chance to pass the seat to a Republican.
Normal transition to senior status is 65 years old - she was 67 when she took senior status.
Do we still have to wait in suspense to see if the SCOTUS rules that federal judges’ ruling cannot be enforced on the entire country?
They same to be strutting arrogantly around in envy of Trump and out to cut him down because nobody likes them and he got to be the football quarterback and win the head cheerleader’s love.
As New Age philosophers have said: “Most people are egos walking around in human skin.”
Sanctions and tariffs are the same thing and Harris still lost
Congress gave him this authority.
That’s not how it works. The United States Customs and Border Protection collects tariff duties from importers. the new tariffs would affect about $2.3 trillion in goods. You cannot expect the U.S. Court of International Trade to dish out justice 5 or 10 plaintiffs at a time.
My tagline needs to come true. Throw the enemy in jail. Let them dies of disease and malnutrition. Execute the real top of the top of the chain. Make examples of them. Put FEAR in the left from the top down. Suspend the Constitution. Disband the media. Crush left leaning websites. take control of everything. Put the ferals in their place. shoot to kill at the border. Do this for 20 years.
