       Call it the 911 presidency.Despite insisting that the #US is rebounding from calamity under his watch, #Trump is harnessing #EmergencyPowers unlike any of his predecessors.Whether it’s leveling punishing #tariffs, deploying #troops to the #border or sidelining #EnvironmentalRegulations, Trump has relied on rules & laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like #war & #invasion.#USpol #law #ExecutivePower #AbuseOfPower https://apnews.com/article/trump-emergency-powers-tariffs-immigration-5cbe386d8f2cc4a374a5d005e618d76a

       An analysis by AP shows that 30 of #Trump’s 150 #ExecutiveOrders have cited some kind of #EmergencyPower or authority, a rate that far outpaces his recent predecessors.The result is a redefinition of how presidents can wield #power. Instead of responding to an unforeseen crisis, Trump is using #EmergencyPowers to supplant #Congress’ authority & advance his agenda.#USpol #law #ExecutivePower #AbuseOfPower

       “What’s notable about #Trump is the enormous scale & extent, which is greater than under any modern president,” said Ilya Somin, who is representing 5 US businesses who sued the admin, claiming they were harmed by Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” #tariffs.Because #Congress has the #power to set #trade policy under the #Constitution, a federal #TradeCourt ruled Trump overstepped his authority by claiming an economic #emergency to impose the tariffs. An appeals court paused the ruling….#law

       @Nonilex I get the feeling that somebody (Vance?) read about Carl Schmitt, a German 1930ies Nazi lawyer / philosopher who famously stated that sovereignty is the ability to declare the state of exception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt

       @Nonilex Every lying use of “emergency powers” should be an article of impeachment

       @NonilexHe learned this from Viktor Orban, who is the Hungarian prime minister. Hungary is constantly in some form of emergency since 2015.
