Trade Rep Jamieson Greer says that the emergency Trump declared to usurp Congress' power to declare tariffs maybe wasn't such an emergency as Trump claimed it was. I'm sure plaintiffs will find that notable. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/12/j...

It would be really nice if Congress would grow a spine and remove the supposed national emergency declaration. They used to have that power until they ceded all their power over to Trump. They bent the knee and kissed the ring and sold their souls in the process.

Yep. From Day One, ALL OF THIS could have been stopped by the Republicans in Congress at ANY TIME, if they hadn't just completely abrogated their responsibility as one-third of our government. Trump may be the loud mouth of this fascist regime, but those colluding Republicans are its beating heart.

Impressive they didn’t figure that out 3 months ago. Are they always this slow?

Presumably, that means the emergency whereby he invoked the alien enemies act to engage in ethnic cleansing of "invading" Venzuelans probably wasn't quite so urgent and dramatic and "invading" either ...

That was overturned by several judges on the logic that there's no "invasion" such as Congress would understand it in 1798.

Obviously not. But it seems like multiple claims by the president in his Executive Orders are heavily exagerrated and/or overblown, so this starts to set a bit of a precedent regarding ALL his EOs ...

But this will free him up to declare a nationwide shortage of goods a "national emergency." Rinse and repeat.
