Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that a federal court’s decision to halt President Donald Trump’s tariffs showed he was not a “king.”
Host Lawrence O’Donnell said, “I know this is a big a big night for Minnesota with Canada as your your biggest trading partner next door. You were up in Canada last week. You have a whole new discussion now to be had with Canada. None of Donald Trump’s tariffs apply anymore.”
Klobuchar said, “We do and I will say, number one, you and I have been nerding out on this over and over again explaining how this is unconstitutional. Now you have these three judges, and how rich it is that two of them are Republican appointees. You know, one by Donald Trump and one by Ronald Reagan, yes, they still exist. And they have unanimously, as you noted, struck this down. And basically, they’ve said the president isn’t king. Congress has authority over tariffs, even though Congress has delegated some of this.”

All it takes to double down on appreciation for Trump is to have a Dem open their trap.
Lighten up Amy. Don’t you have some cookies to bake? Geez. What a ditz.
Barry I The O’Bama, is Amy’s king. Most of her best friends are black.
If Congress gives authority to the President to set tariffs in response to emergencies, he has the authority.
This is the third thread....
Club car is sure putting herself out there a lot. She gonna run again?
Anti tariff freepers are just democrats in rino clothing.
Yep...a dumb broad with a “D-MN”....nough said.
So Amy wants to run for president and so she is going on the talk show circuit to burnish her anti-Trump credentials. But she’s too stupid to realize that the Lawrence O’Donnell show has an audience of about five people.
Just another member of Congre$$ not doing her job but probably just protecting her bank account.
Congress has authority over a lot of things.
It could have either made Roe v Wade the legitimate law of the land or it could have made it universally illegal.
They could have stopped the illegal invasion of our borders by passing many laws and funding Trump’s plans to build a big beautiful wall.
Congress is for the most part a bunch of do nothings and when they do do something it serves their individual self-interest or the interest of their special interests.
It NEVER puts America First and continues to sell out the country and in her case looks to celebrate that which will continue the sellout.
Anything the Red Chinese is for I am against.
Same true for the Democrats although it’s hard to make a distinction between the Red Chinese and either wing of the uniparty.
Pres Trump should exile her
“””Club car is sure putting herself out there a lot. She gonna run again?”””
I do hope she runs again. She is even more of an idiot than Walz.
Bannish her from the kingdom!
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which permits tariffs to address unfair trade practices by foreign countries (e.g., tariffs on China during the U.S.-China trade war).
The President has the ability to lay tariffs in response to unfair trade practices.
What about Obama’s tariffs? Or Biden’s?
Sadly, Congress having authority over anything is why we’re in the mess we are in now.
