@Nonilex Problem is this will end up in front of #SCOTUS and will be declared legal because Trump did it.

@Nonilex I'm not holding my breath, but if someday the tariffs are ruled illegal, our family business will be happy to get back the--so far--$11k in tariffs we've paid to the criminals. Plus interest!

@Nonilex But what will happen now? Do they just ignore him and rescind the tariffs? Does the law have any teeth to force the issue if necessary?

@Nonilex The problem is, everyone already knew they were illegal. I mean, it's good to have it down on paper officially I guess, but we're living in post law times where Trump does illegal things and no one stops him. Unfortunately, laws only mean as much as is enforced. That's great when a law is "you can't use the public horse trough to refill your radiator" or something in a time where no one has horses anymore anyway, but not so great when you have a dictator openly breaking the law.

@saulm It’ll be appealed to SCOTUS
