On Thursday, a second federal court determined that Trump’s global were “unlawful.”
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras said in an order the International Economic Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give the president the power to impose most of his recent tariffs.
Notably, the decision from Contreras – an Obama appointee – only restricts the Trump administration's ability to collect tariffs from the two companies that filed the lawsuit, Learning Resources, Inc., and hand2mind, Inc.

I say let him do it. Give him a chance. If it royally fucks everyone over and we have to pay $20 for an egg it will be clear who is to blame. Now he'll just say he's the best tariff president in the universe because he was Blocked.

They'll find a way to make it not their own fault.

Oh they're already on it. Biden was the winner btw. When asked about how crappy the economy has been since the tarrifs he said perhaps the most expected thing possible:

Tariffs don’t apply if your company is large enough to afford a lengthy legal battle? Yeah that tracks.
