Summary
The New Civil Liberties Alliance filed a lawsuit accusing Trump of illegally imposing tariffs on Chinese imports using emergency powers under the 1977 IEEPA.
The conservative legal group argues only Congress can levy tariffs and claims Trump’s actions violate the Constitution’s separation of powers.
The complaint says Trump’s justification—Chinese opioids and the trade deficit—fails to meet the legal standard of necessity.
NCLA seeks a court order to block the tariffs, stating the IEEPA does not authorize taxes and Trump’s executive orders bypass required congressional procedures.
They get hit in the pocketbook and suddenly now the Constitution matters.
So just to make sure I got it right. Gutting federal agencies from the inside out to the point of dysfunction, and firing employees and government watchdogs without cause. Depriving legal immigrants their due process and forcefully kidnap people in broad daylight. These things are A-Okay.
But fuck with the money, and now you’re suddenly going too far.
That’s where conservatives really don’t like the be fucked with. He’s so screwed and I’m so glad he is.
It’s always about the money so let’s hope we get a regime change soon
Really? Donald “Unconstitutional Exercise of Legislative Power” Trump committed an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power? Say it aint so.
Are you saying that there shouldn’t be any taxation without representation? Wild.
Conservatives singing.
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me

My brain has way too many cross connections.
So he broke the constitution, shouldn’t he be arrested for malpractice, negligence.
You know it’s something when even conservatives are starting to push back.
Hypocrites… Only when it affects them…
