The impotence of Congress is astonishing. Constitutionally the tariff power is exclusive to Congress, and Trump is exercising it only through emergency powers.

The impotence of Congress is astonishing. Constitutionally the tariff power is exclusive to Congress, and Trump is exercising it only through emergency powers. Congress could end this easily had they a mind to. Presumably someone could make a challenge to the Supreme Court, but IANAL so it's not clear who has the standing to sue.
As a former Republican, and a Reagan conservative the utter cowardice and corruption of the Republican party nauseates me. No principles, no ethics.
