Great, since that was illegal, I’ll get a refund for the product I imported, right? Those tariffs cost my small business $6k this year.
I mean, you can sue him/the administration in civil court for the damages, which should be an open and shut case if the courts rule his bullshit was illegal
So, massive class action by everyone who bought tariff goods. Sounds like a jolly good time.
Can't sue a sitting president for official acts. Supreme court already anticipated this
You'd be suing the government for damages, not him as an individual.
Fair point, not sure if it would dissuade trump from anything, though.
You can* sue CBP and Secretary Noem in her official capacity for collecting illegal tariffs from you.
*Probably. I'm not a lawyer. Don't take legal advice from the Internet.
"We can't have trials for every little thing..! Now, off to CECOT with ya."
Apparently yes
Lets pause for a moment and consider how dumb this situation makes Trump look on the world stage. He's picks a fight with the entire world over tariffs, and obnoxiously demands that everyone comply with his wishes under the pain of losing trade. Then, a court rules that he never had the power to issue the tariffs in the first instance and voids them. The "deals" he's supposedly struck now are worthless, and the countries that held out and didn't bend to Trump's whim have won. The only country harmed by the tariffs is the United States. It's like starting a fight by punching yourself in the face.
Can we please put him in a concrete capsule and fire him miles underground?
That's morally unconscionable. It's like injecting the Earth with cancer.
Why not sew him, space Goebbels, Thiel, and the entire nazi regime together as one big fascist human centipede, then shoot them into the sun?
Well, it’s a little counterintuitive but it’s really hard to shoot stuff at the Sun as opposed to the opposite direction. That’s why the Parker Solar Probe holds the human made speed record. When you leave Earth you are already going at Earth orbital speeds around the Sun give or take Earth escape velocity. The closer to the Sun you get the faster you go and the more speed you have to bleed off with fuel to not get slingshotted out into the Kuiper Belt.
Hyrule tried this with Ganon and look where that got them
He will just ignore the ruling and do it anyway. Democrats will express their concern.
Just putting it out there, but the only reason this ruling was even possible was because of democratic states suing the government. So the first step has been taken and Republicans weren't the ones doing it. We can bitch about Democrats all you want, but this is a direct result of their actions.
He might ignore it and keep yelling out numbers. But doesn't this mean the people actually collecting the tariffs have to stop? And especially entities in blue states would use it as an excuse to stop collecting.
Maybe he should try doing this legally for once. He might see fewer setbacks
This asshole still being alive is always such a bummer
The trials for the people in this administration are going to be glorious
Lol, Do you really think the law will apply to them?
