I think this current SCOTUS will give the president even more power. I would love to be surprised. We need three equal branches or I guess we used to need that.
Meanwhile, I have an order for handmade art from an artisan in Canada. Tariffs are going to tack on an eye watering 35% due to revocation of the de minimis limit of tariffs on items valued less than $800. I thought that we were over this BS after NAFTA was "renegotiated." Americans are going to pay a lot more for lots of stuff or live with a lot less. Ironically, the tariffs against the most prominent "offenders" like China, have lower tariff rates. This isn't meant to balance the scales. It was meant to make sure that the buying power of the lower class is crippled.

I agree Jennifer, I cannot see the conservative members of the court ruling against Trump.
Interesting to read about other avenues for imposing tariffs, as I hadn't heard much about that angle. A case to watch for sure. Thanks, Elise!
