afaiu, the court argument is not declaring that this is a fake emergency. It is that tariffs are not the appropriate response to reducing fentanyl imports.

Well yeah, putting tariffs on that penguin Island, all of Europe, and whatever else the LLM told him isn't going to do fuck all to reduce any fentanyl he claims is coming from Mexico

They have two arguments:

  • congress has the power to tax (tariff), not the president

  • congress has previously granted the president “limited” powers for “targeted” tariffs in an “emergency”. The current situation is none of those things.

  • combine the above two and Trumps across the boards tariffs are unlawful and therefore void
