Only one act is being challenged and Trump has multiple ways to implement tariffs. They likely aren’t going anywhere regardless of this case.
This is about the President using the IEEPA which the President and the has claimed allows him to impose all of these tariffs. Name some of those "multiple" other ways he could do it. Also explain what is Republican about imposing these tariffs, which are ultimately tax increases on Americans.
@spartans9312 I am pretty sure Trump ran with never heard of it.
If I were a candidate I would say that I support the items I am running on. I am not responsible for anything anyone else says or does.
There is a good chance he didn’t know what it was. He’s reactionary. Ask him about something and he’ll say yeah let’s do this.
Mamdani won handily running on government run grocery stores and price controls and increasing government. Is he going to put those policies in place? It doesn’t matter. The narrative is in place.
This is a very tough case for the Trump Administration.
The only decent argument that the Administration has is based on the idea that the tariffs are individualized for each and every foreign nation. The President clearly has no authority to impose a blanket across the board tariff on all imports. That is clearly not in the nature of trying to solve a particular problem that could be an emergency. The individualization of tariffs, I think, could support the Administration’s regulatory argument. I don’t think Roberts, Barrett and Gorsuch will buy this argument, which would be 6 votes against.
I'm shocked you didn't link some Twitter Twit and not shocked you didn't link anything. Those are hardly the sweeping authority that the President has claimed to post all his tariffs to date. There will be a significant reduction in tariffs if the SCOTUS rules as expected, and there will be more court cases and stays if the President stretches trade law to impose more than are authorized.
What's Republican about these sweeping tariffs which raise taxes on Americans?

@aloha-hoosier i don't know enough about any of that stuff to have an opinion as to what the s.ct. will do. i agree with below tho
that economists estimate could boost some U.S. manufacturing in the long run but cost American families an average of more than $1700 this year alone in higher prices.
Did your company join the case against terrorists? Many small businesses did:
@aloha-hoosier ha no. and damn that co must have money to burn if htey hired akin gump
The price of my cigars are going up because of these damned tariffs. That's going too far! Now I only smoke 30 or so cigars a year, but they're the good and expensive ones, and I buy dozens more of the same for friends to smoke. I mostly smoke Indy500 weekend, the Myrtle Beach Golf Trip and the occasional golf outing or special occasions. For every cigar I smoke, I'd say 3 to 5 are smoked by others. No tariffs on cigars!
If SCOTUS rules as expected and overturns the tariffs, the President can reinstate many. However, the reason he used IEEPA, which no other President has used to impose tariffs, is because it was easy for him to do. The other ways to impose tariffs require some process, which we know the President doesn't like to go through. Maybe he'll try avoiding the processes and go right back to court.
Apparently, if the government lose this case there will need to be refunds in the billions. I don't know how they're going to be able to do that. They'll need to get creative.
