Read Section 7 and 8 in the Constitution. Where does the Executive Branch get off imposing tariffs?

Section 7. All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives....
Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises....

Serious question. Where does Bush find the authority to impose a tariff on imported steel?

The sections 7 and 8 of which I speak come from Article I, btw. Link

Call Klayman. I'm sure he'd be happy to file another meaningless lawsuit.

Glad to see you're not dead.

You don't think an outmoded concept from the 18th Century can stand between Bush and his promises, do you?

Good to see you're posting again, Inspector! (Ol' Sink musta mistya too, but won't readily admit it.)
