I said before that decision that the 10% across the board tariff was going to be the hardest one to defend legally precisely because it was so broad and not targeted. There's no argument that it is targeted due to a particular emergency, etc..
Some of the tariffs likely will survive under different statutory authorization, but that 10% is a goner. As it should be.
Very interesting you’ve ben saying it for a few weeks now - one of only a few people on here!
I don’t see much truth in this posting...more like Rand Fan trying to push his usual agenda...
Let me just say, Trump's team led by Bessent is twice as smart and knows ten times more than Rand ever did, or will. These GOP senators and congresscritters like Rand are all frauds that take advantage of the grift.
“I have said time and time again that the Founders wanted to prevent one person from having unilateral control and decision-making powers. That’s why the power of the purse and the ability to tax lie with Congress, not the president,” Paul posted on social platform X.
Well then Congress shouldn’t have given that power away. Just like they’ve “delegated” most of their powers out of laziness. I certainly don’t want a bunch of crooked, lazy asses who can’t even vote on a budget anywhere near running our trade policy.
“...the tariff issue, which has proven to be unpopular.”
With who exactly?..........Besides the outside world, RINOs and Democrats?...................
Secretly pleased like traitor Rand Paul. Paul is such a worthless blowhard phony.
The tariffs are brilliant. The people opposing them prefer the status quo and care nothing about bringing business and manufacturing back to the US.
Exactly Who in the congress would you put in charge of foreign trade?
Agree
Other than talking like he is the most intelligent person in the world I have never seen Rand Paul or his goofy old man actually accomplish anything. Can you let us know when he does something?
Which is why we should have a constitutional amendment for a balanced budget.
The Hill is a toxic dump moving on
No argument here.
A federal appeals court put the brakes Thursday on a lower court order that overturned most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs.
Y’all are a little behind the times, don’t you think? Y’alls “victory ruling” was set aside. Congress delegated tariff power to the President.
