    These Tariffs are not approved by Congress, so they are taxation without representation.

        It’s approaching that point.

        If the executive ignores the law and the other branches of government, we effectively no longer have a representative government.

          Yes. This is pretty much the spirt of it.

          The founding fathers probably could not have predicted some idiot MFer ping-ponging tariffs on and off so him and his buddies could do some insider trading and destroy the economy.
