    If the court was doing their job they would have ruled this unconstitutional in the first place. A tariff is a tax, the executive explicitly does not get that power

      And then what? The courts have no enforcement arm. I believe your founding fathers didn’t see how corrupt we would become.

      Congress has authorized the president through legislation to levy certain tariffs in specific situations, but none of those situations apply here.

        If they give a fuck about maintaining their power, pass a new law nullifying those specific situation capabilities.

        This Canada thing seems like political maneuvering. If Dems vote to gut healthcare for 40M americans as a result, congrats, you’ve now seen how “bipartisan compromise” results in fucking over average American working class.

      The court is doing its job. Empowering fascists and kneecapping bringing them to justice when they aren’t in power. The point of a system is what it does.
