Illinois Joins 11 Other States in Suing the Trump Administration Over ‘Tax Hikes’ Through Tariffs – CNN

“In the nearly five decades since the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was enacted, no other President has imposed tariffs based on the existence of any national emergency, despite global anti-narcotics campaigns spearheaded by the United States and longstanding trade deficits,” the lawsuit argued. While Congress passed IEEPA, “Congress never intended it to be used for tariffs."

If and when democrats retake control of the Federal government, there should be a law suit filed on every single move they make.
Turn about is just fair.

Ugh. More CNN trash.

Look, kids, it’s soon-to-be-disbarred political hack Leticia James once again leading the charge, spending taxpayer dollars on more political activities.

This distracts no one, Leticia. Can’t wait to see you wearing the orange jumpsuit you so richly deserve.

Are the Democrats concerned about the state and property tax hikes? Maybe Dems are concerned that tariffs will impede all of JBs tax hikes.
