I keep telling people that everything has changed and nothing can stop what’s coming.The Supreme Court just “helped” Trump and most people can’t see it.
They struck down tariffs based on the IEEPA law, that has been abused by past presidents, especially Obama, as I just laid out in a two part thread.
That law is so broad, that it actually endangers America, when used by a corrupt president like Obama.
And this ruling did nothing to stop Trump from imposing tariffs.
Trump immediately declared that he would restore the tariffs struck down because of the IEEPA law.
How?
NATIONAL SECURITY.
And here’s what most people are missing in this Supreme Court decision.
The Supreme Court did not give a remedy.
They didn’t demand that the tariffs be given back or how.Why?
I would argue that they knew what was coming.
The Supreme Court did not throw out the tariffs that Trump placed on countries because of “national security.”Why?
The Constitution gives the president “plenary power” over “national security.”
The Supreme Court knew that was coming.
They literally DISTINGUISHED what tariffs are legal and what tariffs aren’t.
That’s a great PRECEDENT for the future.
Clear law instead of purposely ambiguous law, that allows for future abuse.Trump just exposed the corrupt IEEPA law in order to set the table to get rid of it.
And trust me.
Go read my 2 Part 🧵 on this Supreme Court decision.
Obama and Brennan just s*** a brick.Toshiro TakashiFantasy world. Tariff leverage is gone. All alternatives will be challenged and given the compromised judicial branch, likely, overturned again. No country will take the tariff threat seriously again.JoeLangeYou are blind to what just happened. The Supreme Court struck down specific tariffs that were based on the IEEPA law and left in place ALL the tariffs that Trump placed on countries because of “national security.” So what does Trump do? He immediately goes out and restores the same tariffs by declaring “national security.” Nothing has changed. The tariffs still apply and now there is legal clarification. The president has “plenary power” under the Constitution, when it comes to “national security.” Checkmate! It was the perfect boomerang!

Trump’s Workaround ,LOL
How many troops does Roberts command? I look forward to the battle against the “comrades”.
Most anti tariff free traitors don’t realize they are Marxist tools hastening the socialist revolution.
DJT needs to fully explain his comment - “the Court is under foreign influence” (it is) - and then pack the Court with real Americans who will dilute the vote of the leftist numbskulls who currently sit on it. If he doesn’t, the left surely will.
And the socialists don’t realize what socialism is.
And the revolution will not be televised because it’s a low IQ fantasy.
How long before Al Green and AOC scream Impeachment ? LOL
Yes, especially when the tariffs are not balanced.
I heard a radio show around lunch that said Trump’s people would resolve this later this afternoon or tomorrow and voila!
Lock 'em up.
One reason for that comment might be to put some on the SC on notice. Now they might be looking over their backs given they know Trump is aware and he does control the DOJ and who can be investigated or even just release incriminating information on a Justice.
We are in some very dark and treacherous times.
There are always work arounds.
“Obama and Brennan just s*** a brick.
Lock ‘em up.”
I’m always happy to hear about anything that causes those traitors anxiety, but (if you know) what about this ruling causes them to s*** a brick?
So if I read this right this was a good ruling even though the Trump administration fought it and the Supreme Court justices that voted to do away with it did a good thing even though the three Democrat appointed justices probably only voted against it because Trump wanted it and the three conservatives that voted to eliminate it we’re doing a very good thing to help Trump, And three other conservative justices that voted against it was not really helping Trump I think I read that right. In any case I hope you are right
Bkmk
The thing that was emphasized was that Trump’s use of Tariffs was for a soft leverage to prevent wars, which he has done. Now Justice Roberts has assured that the US will become involved in many more wars and many will die for his insane interpretations. Thank you Justice Roberts for painting a dark future for the United States.

SCOTUS TAKEAWAY -
The Hidden VictoryThe MOST IMPORTANT takeaway - for me - from today’s SCOTUS decision on the Trump Tariffs has nothing to do with trade - it’s about precedent.
During oral argument - Justice Gorsuch asked the administration’s lawyer an extremely important question.
He cornered the administration and simply asked: If the Court upholds these tariffs, can a future President unilaterally declare a “CLIMATE EMERGENCY” to bypass Congress and impose their own agenda?
The administration’s lawyer was forced to reluctantly agree and say, “yes.”
Now, as scary as it might be - just for a very brief moment - imagine President
@AOC
or
@GavinNewsom
or a President
@maura_healey
. 🤔What looks like a defeat today might actually be the firewall that saves tomorrow.
