NBC News reports:
A group of five small businesses on Monday sued President Donald Trump, seeking to block new tariffs that he has imposed on foreign imports in recent weeks. The lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade alleges that Trump has illegally usurped Congress’ power to levy tariffs.
“Congress has not delegated any such power,” the suit says. “The statute the President invokes — the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (‘IEEPA’) — does not authorize the President to unilaterally issue across-the-board worldwide tariffs.”
The Liberty Justice Center, which is representing the owner-operated companies, said Trump’s so-called Liberation Day tariffs of at least 10% on imports from most countries, and higher rates for scores of other nations, are “devastating small businesses across the country.”
Read the full article. Of note, one of the Liberty Justice Center’s board members is anti-LGBTQ activist Corey DeAngelis of gay porn “Jerk Off Race” infamy. So this definitely is not just another left wing group suing Trump.
In fact, Source Watch notes that they are affiliated with the Koch Institute and that the Uihlein Foundation has given them millions.
Let’s be clear: THIS is about the Constitution📜
Congress has the exclusive authority to impose tariffs.
If left unchecked, this power could be used by ANY future president—Democrat or Republican. https://t.co/Rv7i6av9Bn @IlyaSomin
