- SteveNuts 2y agoAll the way up to the SCOTUS, at which point it'll be a 7-2 vote in Trump's favor.
- Spivak 2y agoI'm not saying he won't win the case but you're daft if you think it won't be 5-4 on the grounds that congress actually has to pass something to signal their intent to the courts.
- Izikiel43 2y agoThe question here is not whether congress has to pass something, the question is can congress delegate this authority which is explicitly set by the constitution. There were a bunch of sentences regarding non delegation of powers of congress, mainly for federal agencies, and courts deciding that congress can't delegate those faculties, so, by the book, this would be a similar situation. There is actually an ongoing case for this aspect of the discussion: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/07/trump-tariffs-lawsuit https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/07/trump-tariff...
- dilyevsky 2y agoThe are a few republican judges that dont seem too keen on having their names attached to the demise of American empire
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoHow many of them are on the SCOTUS?
- bdangubic 2y agomaybe 2 which is not enough
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoI believe that particular ship has sailed.
- hn_acc1 2y agoEven fewer that won't fall in line if threatened to be doxxed to the MAGA mob via Xitter.
- anigbrowl 2y agoI don't believe he can get a 7/2 ruling in SCOTUS. But I do believe he can get Republicans in the current Congress to jump for him, and to try to ensure their majority by disenfranchising people before the midterms.
- 8note 2y agoreasonably he can, even if its illegal. unless he gets inpeached and removed, theres no mechanism to stop him. even then, congress can vote but who would actually remove him from power?
