Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

what does this mean exactly? Like whats gonna happen. Kind of annoying that tariffs are in limbo.
I thought a tenant of a healthy economy was some base modicum of economic stability. With this news its like what the heck? Is this “tariffs go away over night” or “tariffs are now in place sort of, creatinf economic limbo until the Supreme Court eventually makes a decisions and then maybe someone somewhere enforces the decision “ sort of thing
They're not in limbo per se, as the court issued a summary judgment to plaintiffs and struck the tariffs down. There are no tariffs now. They were illegal. To get them reinstated, Trump has to appeal, the court has to grant review (which only takes one justice, so review will almost certainly be granted), and then has to reverse the ruling. While the tariffs could be reinstated, I think it's more likely than not that they won't.
However, your point about economic stability is well taken. I'll add to your point that the tariffs have already greatly harmed the U.S. by turning much of the world against us. They've forced other countries to look for alternative suppliers, and it is unlikely that they will come back, tariffs or not. They have also triggered boycotts of U.S. products.
The best part? All the price hikes announced to date will remain, even if any tariffs paid to date are refunded to every corporation.
This is an intentional effect.
This is why I like to remind everyone that inflation is a widespread increase in the cost of goods and services. There is no "greedflation" - that's just inflation, and Republicans have been to blame for inflation all along.
