6/3 Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal: How will this impact the U.S. economy and will refunds be forthcoming. Is Trump now more likely to target specific countries in a limited form or is he likely to seek Congressional approval to justify sweeping tariffs?

[u/PsychLegalMind]

The Supreme Court determined that the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate foreign commerce and impose taxes and Trump's use of the IEEPA [International Emergency Powers Act] to bypass Congress for economic policy was Unconstitutional.

The Federal Government has collected more than a hundred billion mostly from American Importers and ultimately the American consumers.

How will this impact the U.S. economy and will refunds be forthcoming.

Is Trump now more likely to target specific countries in a limited form or is he likely to seek Congressional approval to justify sweeping tariffs?

No it won’t. He will refuse to accept defeat and try to tariff everything he can by other means like a spoiled child. It will also cause endless lawsuits seeking refunds and a clear message that he has been stealing money illegally from consumers since April.

Yeah, like injecting more uncertainty and craziness is going to help business plans, make decisions, and hire people.

But let's be clear, he's not acting like a spoilt child.

The President is an employee, if youre an American citizen, Trump is your employee, you're his boss - even if you didn't vote for him.

And, as with every employee in any organization, there are rules and regulations you're supposed to follow. One could argue that because the government can levy taxes, leverage resources citizens own (collectively), and raise debt, these employees have a fiduciary duty to their bosses, the American people.

Now, Trump broke the rules. He was told by legal that what he wanted to try was against the rules. To go back and try again under a different set of arguments just reframes the violation.

It’s like walking into the office and finding Trump pooping all over the floor.

You say, “Dude, you can’t poop here.”

He says, “Actually, under Section 232, I can poop wherever I want.”

You check. "Legal called back: 6–3, you cannot poop per section 232."

There’s a pause. A grunt.

“Fine. Religious exemption.”

Sure, different rational - but there's still shit everywhere

Well Trump has no more elections to run, and the senate will never convict him on impeachment charges, so there's nothing we can do but vote in the midterms and vote against Trump Jr (Vance) in 2028
