Summary
The New Civil Liberties Alliance filed a lawsuit accusing Trump of illegally imposing tariffs on Chinese imports using emergency powers under the 1977 IEEPA.
The conservative legal group argues only Congress can levy tariffs and claims Trump’s actions violate the Constitution’s separation of powers.
The complaint says Trump’s justification—Chinese opioids and the trade deficit—fails to meet the legal standard of necessity.
NCLA seeks a court order to block the tariffs, stating the IEEPA does not authorize taxes and Trump’s executive orders bypass required congressional procedures.
Conservatives who are actually conservative??? Not radical lunatic rightists who do or say whatever Trump wants?
I didn’t realize any were left.
Don’t get too excited. They’re only mad because Trump fucked with the money.
What you’re failing to understand is that hierarchy is the core of conservatism. A guy at the top that everyone listens to IS conservative. Opposing Trump is them rejecting conservatism, if only momentarily.
