Some two dozen states challenged President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs on Thursday, filing a lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Court.

The Democratic attorneys general and governors in the lawsuit argue that Trump is overstepping his power with planned 15% tariffs on much of the world.

The new suit argues that Trump can’t pivot to Section 122 because it was intended to be used only in specific, limited circumstances — not for sweeping import taxes. It also contends the tariffs will drive up costs for states, businesses and consumers.

Many of those states also successfully sued over Trump’s tariffs imposed under a different law: the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The fools who think Trump's going to pay are wasting their time.

His bankruptcies showed his method, years ago.

His legal machiavellianisms showed his method, since his reelection.

People should be fighting to prevent his successful complete-highjacking of the country, not fighting battles that aren't strategically-relevant, & that won't even matter, shortly.

Opportunity to dig-in against his dictatorship is running out, fast.
