These allowed the President to act on national security concerns through tariffs or respond to unfair foreign trade practices. However, this delegation is not unchecked.

Thanks for being consistent. 🪖 I updated, the President can enact Tariffs anyways according to congressional acts Historically, Congress set tariffs and maintained tight control over this power. However, over time, particularly after the Great Depression, there was a shift towards delegating some authority to the executive branch. This began with the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, allowing the President to negotiate trade agreements without separate congressional approval each time.

RHR posted a summary of tariff acts which showed that the POTUS can impose tariffs for multiple scenarios including "unfair trade practices." I presume that is at least part of what Trump is claiming as a legal defense. The courts will decide if it is valid. Hopefully I've been clear that I'm not a fan of tariffs unless, as you said, they are part of some "art of the deal" play, or are strategically punitive against China (although the devil is in the details). On the last part, I was alluding to whoever in the Biden administration wielded the autopen while you supported a mentally incapacitated president. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The courts so far have ruled unconstitutional on the tariffs. We will see if the SCOTUS that he paid off will decide in his favor as they have been, or if they actually have a spine. The art of the deal line was because you previously stated incorrectly it was all a negotiation and he would never go through with it. As far as Biden goes, I was never a big fan of Bidens and I agreed he was too old to serve. However all presidents use autopen, don't start with this BS again, and Biden never did anything close to what we've seen from Trump as far as EO's go.

Here is a fabulous look at the biases of the justices over time: https://www.axios.com/2019/06/01/supreme-court-justices-ideology You'll note two key things: 1. Each of the 3 liberal justices is more biased than 4 of the conservative justices. Sotomayor is a joke. 2. The trend for both liberal and conservative justices is moving more liberal, with the exception of Alito. If you think our Supreme Court is bought off by Trump, I guess that explains why you would waste part of your Saturday at a "no kings!@$#" protest.

Dumbest simps in history. The first thing I said in the post you quoted was "I can't speak to the amount," so I'm not sure why you typed that screed in the third paragraph. SCOTUS did not say Trump or any president was "immune to the law," but a lot of seemingly smart posters here have drunk that koolaid. AI summary: Quote The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that a president has absolute immunity for criminal acts committed within their "conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority," but presumptive immunity for other official acts, while having no immunity for unofficial acts. The ruling grants presidents broad protection from criminal prosecution for official conduct, though the precise scope of "official" versus "unofficial" acts will be determined by lower courts.

And defendants are never reimbursed for legal costs incurred for prosecutions that are dropped or otherwise not otherwise successful, that is not how the legal system works in this country (an exception being a "not jury" verdict at the conclusion of the trial in which the judge rules that the prosecution was frivolous and compels plaintiffs to pay defendant's attorneys fees).

The Real timschochet 7,342 Posted 7 hours ago What was Donald Trump indicted for in 2023? 1. He paid off a woman he had sex with, using campaign funds, to hide that infidelity from the public in order not to lose votes. 2. He tried to coerce the Georgia Secretary of State to find additional votes for him so as to change the results of the 2020 election. 3. He convinced a mob of supporters to invade the U.S. Capitol building and interrupt the democratic transfer of government, and they violently attacked the police and threatened members of Congress and the Vice President, and Trump not only took no action to stop it, he encouraged it and tried to use it to hopefully remain in power. 4. He took thousands of classified documents home with him and despite several requests refused to give them up, lied about his possession of them, and may have shown them to unauthorized people. All of these are SERIOUS crimes. He may very well be innocent of some or all of them (outside of #1, he was already found guilty by a jury.) He is after all, like anyone else, entitled to his day in court. But on most of these there never was a day in court, he simply delayed and delayed until he got elected again. None of this was lawfare and he doesn’t deserve a single penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
