    We just got done establishing that tariffs are not a presidential privilege! What contrivance will they think up this time to “justify” it? Or are we officially past the stage of pretending now?

      Unfortunately, they’ve only established that the 1974 emergency powers act is not a legal way to establish tariffs; all other tariffs established by justifying them through other means are still (potentially) legal.

      Pretty sure we’re well past that point, but that word “officially” just means you can pick any arbitrary point and call that the “official” point we crossed the line. heh
