    If that's true the tariff won't stand up in Court. You can't tariff people you don't like. The Constitution has a thing about Equal treatment. 
    If one thing has been proven is that the US has very weak filters in place to keep a democracy, a democracy. I fear at some point a civil war may be the only option for true and lasting change. God forbid that ever happens. 
    God didn't forbid civil war to happen in the 1800s, is there a reason to expect a change of "mind" on such things today?

  • Apple stock bloodbath continues after China applies retaliatory tariffs

    The governor of California is going to call Trump’s bluff by ignoring the federal tariff and negotiate directly with other countries on tariffs. Seems like a decent strategy considering that the Trump tariffs are entirely dependent on the claim that the national debt has created a national emergency that gives the president the power to levy tariffs. In other words, the White House is likely violating the law and California is going to respond in kind.
    Not an option, according to the Constitution. 

    Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly says, “The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, … but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”

    I strongly recommend reading the U.S. Constitution. Frequently. You can't preserve, protect, or defend, something you don't know.
