⚠️ SATIRE DISCLAIMER (Standard Issue, Now With Extra Rage):

 This is a fictional rant in the unmistakable voice of George Carlin, written as political satire. If you're a bureaucrat who thinks "emergency powers" are a blank check, you might want to sit this one out.

George Says: “TRUMP DECLARED A TRADE EMERGENCY, AND THE COURT SAID, 'NOT SO FAST, SPARKY.'”

So, the big news? The U.S. Court of International Trade just told Trump to take his "Liberation Day" tariffs and shove 'em where the sun don't shine. 

That's right. The man who thought he could slap tariffs on every country with a trade surplus—because, you know, deficits are scary—got a lesson in constitutional authority.

George says: This isn't governance. It's a tantrum with paperwork.

He used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to justify his move. Emergency powers? For trade deficits? That's like calling a hangnail a national crisis.

The court saw through it. They ruled that the president doesn't have the authority to impose such sweeping tariffs without Congress. Because, surprise, surprise, the Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate commerce. 

George says: When you bypass Congress to play economic dictator, don't be shocked when the judiciary smacks you down.

And let's talk about the impact. Small businesses were getting crushed. Importers were scrambling. Consumers were bracing for price hikes. All because one man wanted to flex his "emergency" muscles.

But now? The tariffs are blocked. The court reminded everyone that checks and balances still exist. And maybe, just maybe, the rule of law isn't entirely dead.

George out. And remember: When a president tries to play king, it's up to the courts to remind him he's not wearing any clothes.
