#Trump posted that he was making the decision “Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday,” by #SCOTUS. 🙄
Cuz, you know, he told us he has excellent reading comprehension 🤣.

#Trump announced Saturday that he would raise his new, global #tariff to 15%, a day after he took steps to replicate some of the punishing duties that had been struck down by #SCOTUS.
Trump announced the change in a post on social media, & said the #tariffs would take effect immediately, as he signaled anew that he would press ahead with his #trade war despite the legal ruling.

“I think it persuaded some, but we have this ruling now that so clearly puts the power back in Congress’s hands, the House’s hands,” Bacon said. “We have to stand up on our own two feet & use these authorities, because that’s what the founders intended.”
He, too, posted a screenshot of Justice #Gorsuch’s conclusion on social media on Friday, calling his homage to the role of the #legislative branch “perfect words.”

The few expressions of pushback that have emerged have largely been futile, & instigated by #Republicans who are set to #retire at the end of this congressional session or cut rare maverick streaks, such as Sen #RandPaul & Rep #ThomasMassie, both Kentucky #libertarians who posted Justice #Gorsuch’s words admiringly on social media.

Rep #DonBacon of Nebraska, one of the few #Republicans in the #House who has forced votes to overturn #Trump’s #tariffs & is set to #retire next year, said in an interview on CNN on Friday that one of the arguments #GOP leaders had used to keep their members from breaking was that “the president will just veto this if it does pass, so it’s only symbolic.”

#MikeJohnson has used some iteration of the phrase to respond to questions about whether it was appropriate for #Trump to accept the gift of a #jet from #Qatar leaders; whether he supported the ouster of the new director of the #CDC; & whether he would support Trump pardoning the convicted sex trafficker #GhislaineMaxwell, though he added such a move would give him “great pause.”

Lawmakers sat idly by after the White House informed them it planned to use a rare maneuver to skirt a vote & cancel nearly $5 billion in #ForeignAid #funding that they had already approved.
“Not my lane” has become the go-to reply among #Republicans asked questions about any number of #Trump’s actions [when in reality it is exactly their lane].

Most of the major elements of #Trump’s agenda have been accomplished via executive action, with the exception of the #tax & #spending cut #legislation #Republicans pushed through last year using the #partisan reconciliation process—hardly the “broad support to survive the #legislative process” that Justice #Gorsuch wrote was vital to enacting enduring policies.…

Justice Neil M. Gorsuch’s concurring opinion released on Friday after #SCOTUS struck down Trump’s #tariffs concluded with a paean to #Congress that read like a requiem for a bygone era of #legislative #power.
“Yes, legislating can be hard & take time,” wrote Justice #Gorsuch, a #Trump appointee who is part of the court’s #conservative majority. “And yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problem arises.”
In Gorsuch’s Homage to #Legislative #Power, a Subtle Reproach of a Neutered #Congress
In his concurrence to the ruling invalidating #Trump’s #tariffs, Justice Neil M. #Gorsuch made a forceful case for the sanctity of the legislative process — & an implicit critique of its current #dysfunction.

In einer ernsthaften politischen Debatte müssten wir also über Fragen der #Gleichheitsrechte & der Rolle von #Exekutive und #Legislative im Kontrast zur #Judikative sprechen.
Die Judikative ist oft Feindbild, aber tatsächlich kann ja nur über die bisherigen #Gesetze ein Urteil erarbeitet werden und daher müssten wir uns viel genauer ansehen, was im Bereich der #Legislative an #Lobbyismus durch sehr #vermögende #Akteure an normativer #Ungleichheit realisiert wurde.
Wir haben da ein Problem❗
Und an diesem Punkt wird es im Themenkomplex #Judikative und #Legislative wirklich interessant, denn das #SGBII hat nicht für Besitzer von Vermögen, sondern für Menschen ohne Vermögen #Gleichheitsrechte erodieren lassen und damit abermals das Thema #Gleichheit vor dem #Gesetz zu einer normativen Illusion werden lassen.
Und an dieser Dynamik dreht die aktuelle #Koalition #SchwarzRot bildhaft gesprochen wie auf einer Garrotte noch einmal die inkrementelle #Entrechtung weiter.
#KdU etc. ❗
Many scholars of #democracy say that these moves are unprecedented in #US #history & that #Trump has pushed the #UnitedStates toward #authoritarianism.
Trump & his supporters counter that the #Constitution provides for precisely the type of muscular presidency he is exercising & that voters gave him a mandate to enact far-reaching changes to government. [nope & nope]

How #Trump has challenged a constitutional foundation
In his first year back in the White House, Trump has presided over a sweeping expansion of #executive #power while eroding democratic norms.

Nachtrag:
Mit der Formulierung #SocialAuthorityGap in Anlehnung an den
#GenderAuthorityGap ist gemeint, dass im Bereich von #Institutionen, politischen #Diskurs und #Legislative ausgerechnet jene Menschen nicht oder kaum gehört wurden, welche von dieser Gesetzgebung betroffen sein werden. Also Menschen mit Armutserfahrung.
Daher ist das #SGBII schon seit Verabschiedung 2003 und Inkrafttreten 2005 mit der #Realität kollidiert.
Die Folgen hieraus tragen Menschen im Kontext von #Erwerbslosigkeit
These dynamics share a root cause: the partisan polarization that has reshaped #US #politics over the past 4 decades. But the connection is deeper & more complex than that. Whereas polarization weakened #Congress, it emboldened #SCOTUS to dismantle laws &, in the process, undermine Congress’s ability to make laws at all, reinforcing Congress’s sclerosis.
