My question is: why did it take a year since liberation day just to get to the point of recognizing that Trump's tariffs are illegal? Much damage could have been prevented if the system didn't process things with the haste of a garden snail.

Look, it's not that hard. Want tariffs? Convince Congress to pass a law. If you do that, the Supreme Court has no quibble. And if you don't, then we get tariffs that are on-and-off, and unpredictable, and their unclear legality yields little leverage.

Trump's tariffs—the ones he added because the last ones were ruled unconstitutional—were just ruled unconstitutional My crack team has discovered why. This law allows him to impose temporary tariffs to "deal with large and serious US balance-of-payments deficits." Here it is:

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

Corruption by Elected officials, by other officials are not new, (although I fear trump’s administration soars into the universe) can be blamed by US, the citizens. WE are the ones to stop this shit by our votes for Reps & to change laws. WE ALL have to GET MOTIVATED, GET INVOLVED & JUST DO IT, NOW
