American Tariffs reversed by US Supreme Court

yep!

Is Canada in the Commonwealth? I think my people in Virginia got left behind when all the Loyalists went north after the "Uprising" . I don't even hold it against the Canucks for helping to burn Washington DC.

I'll bring the US WOMEN'S HOCKEY TEAM

YEP AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT CHARLES IS OUR KING

Of course, the English monarchy had already ceded away the power to tax way back in 1776, and the USA brought that into their law when they came into being.
Same applies to Canada - you need a law pssed by Parliament to tax.

Exactly Parliament, not the goofy quasi kingdom in the US. King Charles III can't just decide to bomb Iran (can he?)

2/3 of all of Trump's tariffs were IEEPA. He just got his balls chopped off.

The way in which he enacted the tariffs was to use the act from 1977. The supreme court today said that particular act cannot be used to enact tariffs - as per the Reuters news story and paraphrasing Justice Alito, tariffs can still be enacted through other avenues.

One tariff he might not be able to continue is the di minimus one, since it applies to everyone. That covers all items imported to the US under $800 from everywhere. It;s not an emergency or security issue like certain items like rare earth or conflicts like the Russian-Ukrainian war. It;s just a simple tariff that Congress has to pass. So those who sell and shop for small items might find relief soon.

Tariffs have been discussed in great detail here because they have affected the cost of film and photo products being imported into the US as well as forum members buying and selling photo products internationally. You're new to the forum so you missed those threads. Regardless, political comments, personal attacks, and other similar attacks are not allowed.

How quickly will that translate into action? I'm waiting to buy something.

Don't hold your breath; so far, he never really cared about court rulings.

Next question...how is 150 billion collected returned to those who paid?

the supremes have stipulated that all claimants should form a line, with their receipts, outside the East Wing of the White House

I don't envy the moderation team in dealing with the current global political environment. Certainly in my lifetime I can't think of a scenario where our ability to enjoy the hobby was as directly tied to political outcomes as it is now.

Ralph, you hit the nail on the head.
