US Trade Court Rules Trump’s tariffs illegal

Originally posted by: David Miller

Only Congress can object to Trump's imposition of tariffs and Congress has not done so. The states suing Trump have no basis to do so. -- Once again, a Federal Court oversteps it's authority. The Court of International Trade is only empaneled to hear Civil Matters... it does not have authority to make rulings on Constitutional or Legislative matters. -- Why did the court not overturn biden's increase in tariffs on China and Canada? Why did they only get involved when it's Trump impose the tariffs?


David you are so full of shit. I'd be ashamed if I made such foolish statements. Article 1 sec 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the right to levy tarrifs not the President.


Yes, David trade is a civil matter, and the court has the authority to rule on trade matters which a tarrif is. 


And guess what another Federal Court just ruled Trump's tarrifs unconstitutional.

    Reread what I posted.-- Only Congress can object to Trump's imposition of tariffs and Congress has not done so. The states suing Trump have no basis to do so. - I never said a thing about who had the right to levy tariffs. Get someone smarter than you, which is most anyone, to explain what I actually posted and it's meaning.

Certainly no president has ever imposed tarrifs.  How radical!

It is not up to them to object.  It is up to them to pass the tarrifs. If you want those tarrifs,  just include them in Trump's big beautiful bill and the Republicans in Congress can pass them and that will make them perfectly legal.


Trump took a shortcut and tried to pass tarrifs by executive order. The court said his shortcut wasn't legal which anyone with reading comprehension can see if they bother to read the Constitution and the limited emergency power he was trying use to pass blanket tarrifs.

The deep state judges sure thought so.    

Oh, tariffs back on for now until Trump's appeal is heard. The court gave Trump until June 9th to file their response to the Plaintiffs' brief.

It is an administrative stay not a stay on the merits of the case.

Whenever Davey Dog cites Mxm "news," you can be certain that it's bullshit.

And the tarrifs are back.
