This was expected by many.
Trump needs to work with Congress.
To: Kleon
Mike Johnson, pick up the white courtesy phone. It’s time Congress did it’s job.

I did as well, but it did go from neg to pos after this news was released.
To: Brian Griffin
They seem to have made the ruling specific to IEEPA usage. Even the MSM is admitting there are other laws trump can claim for imposing tariffs.
While the media will play this up it does not appear to be a ruling that Trump cannot do tariffs, only that he can’t use IEEPA for it at this time.
