Small business owners know tariffs are a crock
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT In a flurry of Executive Orders, the President asserted the unprecedented authority to impose new tariffs on any imports, from any country, in any amount he chooses. The President has issued, postponed, and rescinded Executive Orders raising or lowering tariffs without notice, seemingly at whim. These Executive Orders have upended the tariff system that Congress designed and enacted over a course of decades. He has dressed the Executive Orders (the "Tariff Executive Orders") in the guise of an "emergency" by citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or "IEEPA," Pub. L. No. 95-223, Tit. II,91 Stat. 1626 (1977). The President lacks the inherent authority to raise tariffs unilaterally, and IEEPA does not give it to him. Emergency or no, IEEPA does not authorize tariffs-it has nothing to do with them. "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy." McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 316, 327 (1819). Congress did not in IEEPA confer such vast destructive power in one man, divesting itself of the power it has used longest of every power existing in Article I of the Constitution.2 Whatever view of jurisdiction it takes, the Court should adopt the pure textualist and originalist approach of Judge

Tom saying Trump was a fascist hot dog before he was elected
September 27, 2025 at 4:19 AM
2metermatt.bsky.social
So Tom called Trump the candidate fascist, but now that Trump has been speed-running the fascist course as President for nine months, it's just authoritarianism

So skilled with words. Do you know what duplicity means?

Like when you called Trump's staff commisars, which are specifically members of the Communist Party?

But we can't use the term fascism?

This you?

"commisar" is a Communist party member

(And before you say someone else wrote the headline, the term appears in the first paragraph too)

This claim of 50% is completely contradictory to the very short list of supposed trans-related violence right above it.

Utter bullshit
