@heidilifeldman Also see: legal profession.

💬 The entire profession of judges in the USA need to sign an open letter demanding that the six insurrectionary MAGA SCOTUS appointees start obeying the constitution or, if they are for some unfathomable reason unable to follow the law, that they step aside and *abstain* from ruling until such day that the SCOTUS can be reconstituted to follow the constitution.

Any MAGA judges unwilling to sign such a letter may get their quick fix rewards from trump, but will face justice in one form or another eventually.

Still relevant. Still precedent.

‘ Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own, whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others. ‘

— Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States John Marshall Harlan, writing for the majority, Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 US 11 (1905)

"From Trump’s🚨#SCOTUS tariff petition: A statute can give the president unlimited power over tariffs w/o mentioning tariffs."
-J Willick

"Yes, let's be clear what they're saying:🚨by declaring an "emergency" (that judges can't question & Congress can only override with 2/3 majorities), POTUS has unlimited tariff power under IEEPA, which doesn't expressly authorize tariffs AND has never before been used for tariffs."
