Not saying this is good or bad, but this doesn’t seem surprising. Isn’t the point of our government structure to stop any one person from acting like a king. I’m surprised it took this long.

I'm a little worried about this. This president may take out this setback on innocent people. I don't think it's out of the question that he may start a war.

So he gets to flaunt the law because he's vindictive? Not a system I wanna live in.

That's why I'm worried. To me it's obvious he was extremely upset with all those court cases against him, and now the courts and the Fed Chair are just straight ignoring him. So is Putin.

Yeah, looks like it archived a stub from before Bloomberg added anything substantive.

Yeah I get personally being worried but it's a weird thing to post online because the implication shared is that it'd be better if he [was allowed to]* just abuse emergency powers.

The GOP controls the house and senate. Congress controls tariffs. If they followed the law congress could make the thing happen. But I don't think think independent thinking is allowed in the GOP, and it might force their hand if they had to actually put it to a vote ...

Wouldn't they still have to deal with filibusters?

isn’t it easier to just say that the shadowy courts are the reason for all the problems and not actually ram the tariffs through? This seems like an off ramp is being extended. Who actually wants the tariffs?

I like to get my news at sites more reputable than The Onion or The Daily Mail.

I don't see any political party cherishing "independent thinking."
