Dissent

[Offthemat]

“Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main dissent, which was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. In his view, Trump had the authority under IEEPA to impose the tariffs because they “are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation.” Moreover, he suggested, although “I firmly disagree with the Court’s holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forward … because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs at issue in this case.”

Kavanaugh also warned that “[i]n the meantime, however, the interim effects of the Court’s decision could be substantial. The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others.””

Those corrupt rigged judges that will rule for the wingers no matter what they do 

Too bad so sad re: interim effects. That's why trumptard should have made sure this was done legally. Constitutionally. Instead of abusing his power, again, that scumbag.

Mentioning the judges’ families and even minimally bringing them into the conversation, just because you don’t like their ruling, is beyond inappropriate.  Given the current political temperature, it’s potentially dangerous.  Let’s hope it just remains at inappropriate.

Make this make sense.  Who would be in danger?  A family member of a justice who disagreed with the justices ruling?  In danger from whom?  There are lots of crazies out there, can we safely say anything?

It wasn’t the family members of the justices who disagreed with the ruling who were mentioned.  It was the family members of the justices who ruled against the President that were.  And there is no place for it. 
 

You may be a short side strict partisan who refuses to see anything that is not your way, but I know you’re at least smart enough to understand this without someone having to make it make sense for you.

Heh, heh, heh... 

Yepper...  Kavanaugh is probably all proud of himself for writing that dissent.

Time for a beer, "buddy?"

I’m going to chalk this one up to confusion.  I don’t know what you are trying to say and you don’t know what I’m asking.  I don’t see that what Trump said endangers anyone.

Proud?  I suspect he’s more disappointed that he felt the need.  I know I am.

I know exactly what you’re asking and it was answered in my very first post.  If you want to play dumb on what I’m saying it’s certainly your prerogative.

Well, there goes that chance.  If anyone figures it out, they’re welcome to submit it.

Awww... it seems to yours truly that YOU are in need of a beer, no?

May I suggest a high gravity ale?
