					<description><![CDATA[Ok, …tarrifs. SCOTUS in Learning Resources, Inc., et al v. Trump, ruled (6-3) that Trump’s invocation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to enact tariffs on foreign goods coming into the United States is unlawful.

Does this mean Trump, as president, does not have tariff authority? No, it doesn’t. It just means he doesn’t have it under the IEEPA, but does this mean those tariffs are going to go away and are no longer valid? No, not at all. Congress can ‘delegate/enable’ tariff powers to the president, they just didn’t do it under the IEEPA but they had already done it in the past under other statutes. And indeed some of the tarrifs Trump imposed were already under these other statutes (and not in contention in the SCOTUS case) and not under the IEEPA and will remain in place, its just the ones done under the IEEPA that will be ‘re-designated’ to fall under the other statutes.

In …. The Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338), congress gave the president tariff authority.

Basically, all SCOTUS did was conclude that the President checked the wrong statutory box by relying on IEEPA rather than another statute to impose these tariffs. And indeed, President Trump has already switched gears here with an EO announcement on friday imposing, under other statute, a ’10 percent global tariff under Section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.’ like he had done under the IEEPA. So the real looser in this case was the left wingers, because in effect their case made SCOTUS verify that the president does indeed have tariff power under statute (which is outlined in the Kavanaugh dissent) so overall even this SCOTUS loss was a Trump win.

The democrats rejoiced over the ruling, not realizing it wasn&#039;t really a win for them and actually they set up the continuation of tariffs. But anyway...

Dems&#039; Rejoicing Over the Supreme Court Ruling on Trump&#039;s Tariffs Got Wrecked...by CNN?

&quot;Make no mistake; President Trump was not happy about the Supreme Court’s ruling on his tariff agenda. The Court’s opinion yesterday was that the president cannot impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump held a press conference yesterday afternoon, where he expressed his displeasure but added that there are other avenues to impose tariffs, as other legal scholars noted.
