Any of the “law and order” MAGA types willing to admit that the tariffs are illegal?
Or is that whole “law and order” thing more of pick and choose sorta deal?

I mean, if you’re comparing the McCabe prosecution to the Smith ones (which you did), you absolutely were. -

Imagine, politics and legal matters entwining for the first time in the history of the world. All I can tell you is you put Jack Smith on this latest investigation, it might lead to a Comey Brennan ‘28 ticket. Not because of legal shortcomings but because of…well, you know.
Beyond that, it seems that some of you people are coming a bit unglued and offering some weird comments that didn’t come up when Biden was beating up Medicare and wandering off at summits. Where are your personal standards? Is that how you carry yourself at work when you disagree or have an issue with an admin assistant or paralegal? You accuse them of licking boots? When the headset fails in the middle of a phone call with an important client, are you calling the customer service line and demanding they lick your Gucci loafers?
Pull it together.
Frankly, I would question someone if they came to me arguing that Apples = Oranges. -

Or the Jack Smith prosecution. Someone’s always eating something, I guess.
Smith secured indictments and the prosecutions were shut down not because of legal shortcomings but because of politics.
The prosecutions of McCabe couldn’t even get indictments. They were just a stunt for the ignorant.
But if boots need to be licked, good to know you’ve got it covered.

I imagine this will be about as successful as the prosecution of Andrew McCabe.
But the usual crowd will eat it up for sure

Making Grok less woke resulted in it going full on Nazi and fantasizing about rape?

Sorry I missed that.
I was just going over how this would apply to all gun owners and manufacturers.
That's a good thought exercise.
Imagine Congress passed a law that nobody was allowed to own a gun unless they were a registered member of a state-regulated militia. All gunowners who did not meet this standard were to turn over their guns which would then be melted down.
The NRA (and others) would sue, saying that this law violated the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. They would also likely ask the court to enjoin the enforcement of this law until the constitutionality was resolved.
I think it's more than reasonable for the court to grant that injunction. Confiscating and destroying people's property would cause harm that wouldn't be easily reversed should the law later be found to be unconstitutional. Therefore, preventing the enforcement of the law until the constitutional issue is resolved makes a lot of sense.
Same in the case you provided: there is a suit alleging a provision of the law is unconstitutional (violating the prohibition of bills of attainder as opposed to 2nd Amendment violation) so the court is preventing enforcement of that specific provision until it can address the constitutional issue.
Seems incredibly reasonable to me. Not a deep state thing, just a logical way to work through the issue.

What individual was punished or jailed?
The allegation is that a section of the bill is written to specifically target Planned Parenthood in violation of the Constitution's prohibition of bills of attainder.

That Trump is punishing them.
People will die.
Thus, their rights are being violated.
No one said it couldn’t exist and continue doing the work of baby killing.
They should no longer count on tax payer dollars to do so.
Wrong (but nobody is surprised at this).
They claim that the provisions are constructed as a bill of attainder.

I know where the power of the purse belongs thank you.
The same judge that tried to block Trumps deportation order is saying a group having its funding cut by Congress could be a violation of their constitutional rights via a TRO.
So in addition to having your Democrat leaders calling for violence, they continue to try and use the courts to disrupt the agenda that has wiped Obama’s existence from the planet.
It’s not surprising at all that you think Trump can be an autocrat by activist judges cannot.
There was ZERO legal rationale for her TRO. The complaint was essentially “Trump can’t do this.” He didn’t. Congress did. That’s a judicial coup.

You're shocked the same ‘deep state’ you think is all-powerful somehow can’t manage to take down the guy they allegedly hate most? Sounds less like a conspiracy and more like you realizing the grift doesn’t come with closure.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And then the Trump TACO play most certainly caused it to rebound.
And now we go again.
Personally, I wonder how much of what stability the market has shown is due to investors not believing we’d be stupid enough to keep doing this.-

Maybe follow the law and do it the right way?
It’s a temporary injunction lasting just 14 days while the court determines if the law is an unconstitutional bill of attainder.Without weighing in on the merits of the claim, there are two important things that make sense here unless you’re in the cult:
1. The Constitution prevails over laws
2. Temporarily pausing the enforcement of a provision of a law for two weeks to determine if the provision is unconstitutional makes more sense than allowing enforcement that causes permanent harm even if the provision is later determined to be unconstitutional.
Or, you know, hurr durr deep state or whatever.

Looks like the GOP bill raises costs for most Americans by much more than the tax cuts.
If the bill isn’t for seniors (who will be kicked out of nursing homes), and it’s not for people who use electricity (it will raise electricity bills), and it’s not for the fiscal hawks (it will add trillions to the debt), and it’s not for rural Americans (who will lose access to hospitals), and it’s not for 80% of Americans (whose rising costs will far outpace the tax cuts) then who is it for?

Looks like the bill is going to harm rural hospitals, forcing them to cut staff or even close.
“If we lose any of our health care infrastructure, as a result of these cuts, you’re going to take our biggest problem and you’re going to make it significantly larger once again,” Shakespear said.
Shakespear says another major concern is that the bill adds a work requirement for Medicaid eligibility.”
“Many rural workers don’t receive regular paychecks, according to Shakespear, that means they’ll need special waivers.”
“Matt McCullough is with the Utah Hospital Association and said the waiver programs create more barriers, making it harder to access Medicaid.”
If the bill isn’t for seniors (who will be kicked out of nursing homes), and it’s not for people who use electricity (it will raise electricity bills), and it’s not for the fiscal hawks (it will add trillions to the debt), and it’s not for rural Americans, then who is it for?

Bad news for the fiscal hawks: the bill adds trillions to the national debt.
If the bill isn’t for seniors (who will be kicked out of nursing homes), and it’s not for people who use electricity (it will raise electricity bills), and it’s not for the fiscal hawks, then who is it for?

Sure hope no GOPers use electricity since their bill is going to raise electricity costs across the board.
Bad news for red states:
”Annual household energy costs could rise $845 per year in Oklahoma by 2035, and $777 per year in Texas. That’s because these states would be set to deploy a massive amount of wind and solar if Biden-era energy tax credits were left in place. If that goes away, states will have to lean on natural gas to generate power.”
“Blue states that are deliberately putting more clean energy onto their grids would still see prices rise over the coming decade, albeit far less, Orvis said. They are more immune to price shocks because they won’t be as heavily reliant on gas and coal.”
If the bill is bad for seniors in nursing homes, and bad for anyone who uses electricity (especially in some GOP states), it makes you wonder why they are so intent on passing this turd…

Unable to answer a simple question as it may lead to cognitive dissonance of recognizing that Dear Leader may have broken the law, the MAGA is observed resorting to its tried and true tactic of whataboutism: distracting from the question at hand to redirect the conversation to something completely unrelated, hoping that nobody will notice its cowardice.
