The U.S. Senate passed legislation Wednesday that would nullify U.S. tariffs on Canada, less than a week after Donald Trump said all trade talk with its northern neighbour are terminated.
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
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.

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

yeah they should be nullifying them all as congress has tax powers.
And then what? The courts have no enforcement arm. I believe your founding fathers didn’t see how corrupt we would become.
