Comment More from Justice Clarence Thomas (Score 0) 227

It looks to me like most of SCOTUS is ignoring the law, and ignoring what is good for the nation, and legislating from the bench. I have reviewed the laws from the 1970s, it is plainly clear that POTUS has full authority regulate imports.

Worthwhile post on facebook.

Justice Clarence Thomas came in strong with his dissent on the tariff ruling — forceful, direct, and unapologetic.
He didn’t dance around it. He made his position clear:
“NEITHER the statutory text nor the Constitution provide a basis for ruling against the President.”
In other words, Thomas argued that both the law and the Constitution support the President’s authority in this case.
He continued:
“Congress authorized the President to ‘regulate . . . importation.’ Throughout American history, the authority to ‘regulate importation’ has been understood to include the authority to impose duties on imports.”
Thomas pointed to historical understanding and precedent, saying that regulating imports has long been interpreted to include imposing tariffs.
He added another key point:
“The meaning of that phrase was beyond doubt by the time that Congress enacted this statute, shortly after President Nixon’s highly publicized duties on imports were upheld based on identical language.”
He referenced past precedent — including actions taken under President Nixon — to argue that similar language had already been accepted by the courts.
And he concluded:
“The statute that the President relied on therefore authorized him to impose the duties on imports at issue in these cases.”
His message was clear: in his view, Congress delegated the authority, history backs that interpretation, and the statute supports the President’s actions.

Comment Clarence Thomas Calls Out Neil Gorsuch (Score 1) 227

> Thomas disagreed with Gorsuch’s interpretation of early history, writing, “Justice Gorsuch’s interpretation of two 'early congressional debates,’... is thus difficult to reconcile with what early Congresses actually did.”
> He continued: “Since the 1790s, Congress has consistently delegated to the President power over foreign commerce, including the power to impose duties on imports."

He spent 15 years building an audience of more than 38 million subscribers on YouTube. That's as sucked in as you can get to the system. He is very much a large part of the system you think he should be raging against.

He financed, produced, starred in, and distributed the film completely independent from the "Hollywood System". For God's sake, how much less "sucked in" can a person be and still have the means to do it at all???

Give the man some credit.
