The greater authority includes the lesser. Basic legal maxim.

That argument would eliminate the Major Questions Doctrine.

The HEROES Act permitted the Sec of Education "waive or modify" provisions for student loans. That's a greater authority than cancelling portions of those loans. How was the Biden admin thwarted in its attempts to cancel $10k of those loans?

It failed for the same reason these tariffs are likely to fail.

Are you talking about tariffs, generally? Per specific statutes via Congress.

One of the oldest democrat tricks in the books is just to keep repackaging the same thing using a different flimsy law because if enough time passes you've accomplished your goal

Trump learned form them

Its my theory that it was always the plan...

They knew what they were doing was flimsy at best constitutionally. But what they can do is put them in place, it will take awhile for them to wind through the court system, and then if slapped down...

Simply cite another congressional act. Repeat. Time passes

He framed the tariffs as an exercise of the power to regulate foreign commerce.

That still requires specific Congressional authorization via statute.

Yes, I already joked that we have an "Obamacare isn't a tax" situation brewing (although this one isn't likely to survive so that joke's punchline is likely DOA)

And you have paper thin feelings.

The 1999 Seattle WTO protests, sometimes referred to as the Battle of Seattle,[1] were a series of anti-globalization protests surrounding the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999, where members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) convened at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle, Washington on November 30, 1999. The Conference was to be the launch of a new millennial round of trade negotiations.

The negotiations were quickly overshadowed by massive street protests outside the hotels and the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. The protests were nicknamed "N30", akin to J18 and similar mobilizations. The large scale of the demonstrations, estimated at no fewer than 40,000 protesters, dwarfed any previous demonstration in the United States against a world meeting of any of the organizations generally associated with economic globalization, such as the WTO, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.[2]

I have to wonder how this will affect future injunction power from lower courts, though. If the admin keeps "breaking the law" trying to find that perfect statute, I can imagine their efforts are permitted to be enjoined, at some point, to avoid exactly what you described (and the impact on the larger system that would cause).

Having these tariffs ruled invalid is going to create INSANE transaction costs and likely severe short-term economic pain.

That would fall squarely on Trump's admin for fricking it up so badly and being so aggressive when they didn't have the authority to do so.


He' and his team are the only ones busting his arse to save America.
No one else comes close.

The situation is desperate and calls for desperate measures.

Tariffs are likely illegal but that isn’t my concern. The major concern is Congress is useless and likely receives kickbacks from poor trade agreements so there is no incentive to renegotiate and there is no mechanism for playing tough with other nations if tariffs aren’t an option. That’s what the “free traders” never seem to grasp. Why would China renegotiate a one sided trade deal without the threat of tariffs? They wouldn’t and neither would other nations so we are just supposed to accept unfair trade deals in the name of “free trade”

Youre the one here pretending to understand the constitution, not me, Gomer.

The only reason you think Trumps tariffs are constitutional are because youre in a cult.

Your prior argument is showing the costs of acting emotionally in this manner. When your emotions are wrong, the costs are high.

Next time I hope they use logic instead

Weren't those tariffs supposed to collapse our economy by now? How's that working out? Dows up 30% since April
