We all knew the system would strike back. There are trillions at stake.
UPDATES AT BOTTOM: A federal trade court based out of New York has just ruled in a three-judge decision that President Trump does not have the authority within the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to initiate emergency trade tariffs. [The Ruling is HERE]
WASHINGTON DC – A federal trade court ruled President Trump didn’t have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs on virtually every nation, voiding the levies that have sparked a global trade war and threatened to upend the world economy.
The decision on Wednesday from the Court of International Trade blocked one of the Trump administration’s most audacious assertions of executive power, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, and sets the stage for a possible appeal by the White House.
“The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder,” a three-judge panel wrote. (link)
“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,” the court wrote. The court also ordered that the tariffs that the Trump administration has collected so far be “vacated.”
UPDATE #1: I’m tearing through this ruling right now and I can find several structural flaws in the 3-judge panel decision. more
Time to ignore these activist judges
Call out SCOTUS for not stopping them
perform oral sex, robe-*******
screw ’em. do what is needed and tell the crooked judges to pound sand,,,, or start locking them up.
That’s not a court, that’s a colon polyp.
This cycle will be repeated over the next three years. Some judge will file an injunction to tie things up in the courts, preventing much of anything to actually be accomplished. It’s just a waiting game for them, a lawfare version of Ali’s rope-a-dope. How truly sad for America.
A multitude of lampposts awaits.
And we had so much hope that things would change. Some days it’s “everything is falling apart” and some days it’s “Rays of hope”. Today is an “everything is falling apart” day.
All presidents before could add, remove, adjust tariffs. Just not Trump?
it’s like they have no skin in the game. they have a job so they don’t care about anyone else.
The BS is exposed. Now what?
So all those other countries could install tariffs on the U.S. but the U.S. must continue to accept unfair trade because judges never mentioned in the Constitution.
And while this dog and pony show is going of we have a rogue judge that thinks he has total control over our government.
