Nevermind, we're using section 122! 

I'm guessing a court will decide that tariffs that have already been in place for over 150 days will strike that down too.

Talk about flailing.

And he just announced a 10% global tariff.

At least the Lutnick family is gonna make bank

Kavanagh's dissent, which earned mocking from even Roberts, is yet another example of how ill-suited he is for a seat on the court.

It's not hypocrisy if you just assume they rule for the individual, not the policy

But at least the president handled the decision well.

Indeed. 1) Determine what you want the outcome to be, 2) try to come up with some legal justification afterwards.

Pure partisan unnatural carnal knowledgeery.

Thomas and Alito will always vote the way trump tells them to. Corrupt with no shame.

Kavanaugh is just too drunk to even know what he's voting on.

Wheeeeee!!!

So is the TACO trade in play?

Only my guess, but it looks a little different now.

The SC handed him a golden opportunity to get out of what was a disastrous policy both economically and politically, and he chose not to take it, and double down instead.

Part of it, from everything I've read, is that he has been fixated on tariffs since the '80s, and as we've seen his brain stopped taking in new information right about then. But I think it is more about power and money.

He uses tariffs as a cudgel to beat anyone that disagrees with him, and as a tool to pry out money and favors from others. If you are Tim Cook and give him a gold covered statue, you get an exemption; if you "donate" to his unnatural carnal knowledgeing ballroom, you get an exemption. If you say something mean (and accurate) about him, he'll double your tariffs.

But all of that will be on an individual basis--individual countries or individual companies-- which I think makes the broader TACO trade more difficult.

Sure, theoretically the Republicans in Congress could stop him and get out from this absolute losing position, but wake me up when that ever happens. Hell, less than 2% of the Republicans in the House were willing to force a vote against covering up pedophilia. I truly doubt they'll rise up against tariffs.

I did a little buying today ... but, to answer your question, who knows?

Can someone find out from Goose if this is The Greatest Economy in the History of the World yet, or is that still on the horizon?

I think you made a good choice.  I was hanging on for better discounts and probably missed my window.
