American people and businesses deserve a rebate on the additional costs we paid due to Trump's illegal tariffs [View all]

...after we win the SCOTUS appeal.

A 7-4 ruling from the appeals court ruled that Trump overstepped his executive power to rewrite trade policy. The court wrote in its decision that the president does not have the authority to impose tariffs outright through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, as the administration has said.

"Contrary to the Government's assertion, the mere authorization to 'regulate' does not in and of itself imply the authority to impose tariffs," the ruling reads. "The power to 'regulate' has long been understood to be distinct from the power to 'tax.'"
