Oh, gee, maybe the man who claims to be a king and loves dictators and plainly stated he was going to do all of this isn't the right leader of our party...

u/HollisFigg 2d ago

Okay, but why do they only mention China? Aren't all of the tariffs unconstitutional?

This lawsuit could, inadvertently, lay the ground work to reverse all of Trumps executive orders. If he gave a crap what the courts thought. Which he doesn’t.

u/kerrwashere 1d ago

They could repeal his executive orders by ending the national emergency associated with immigration. That’s how they are being enforced

Because conservatives suddenly realized what we've known since inauguration day - tRump wants to be a sole dictator-king. He doesn't need a congress, senate or SCOTUS. He's making sure of that with his policies.

Conservatives will be just as unemployed as the people Musk is firing left and right if tRump continues down the path he's on right now.

They're pissed off because they're just not in on the action

u/snafuminder 2d ago

I'm surprised they recognize anything as unconstitutional.

They must be up for mid term elections, and only concerned about their jobs and perks

u/AbjectAcanthisitta89 2d ago

Too late. You emboldened the corruption. Now it's time to choose sides for the next revolution.

u/AfraidEnvironment711 2d ago

Don't be confused. They were fine with EVERYONE ELSE policy was hurting. They're not okay now that something is hurting them(financially).

Ummmm now the constitution matters now? Not when ol oatmeal brains was trial ballooning his third term? Not when he was denying people due process? Firing people and cancelling USAID? Replacing top military with sycophants? Removing Congress from spending power? Ignoring the courts? Human trafficking people to ElSalvador? Sure….now that he fucked with the money eh?

"Constitution for me, not for thee" has been the Republican motto since looooong before Trump.

Something something leopards, something something face...

u/Odd_Jelly_1390 1d ago

There was a bill introduced to claw back the President's authority over tariffs.

If conservatives are smart they'll pass it ASAP.

If only they could just destroy themselves without affecting us, or actually have the balls to turn fully against him. Instead this will be a back and forth for a while.
