    SACRAMENTO, California — California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Donald
    Trump over tariffs in an aggressive move to end the president’s stranglehold on global commerce.

    I consider this doomed.

    Also, I consider it political theater from a dude who is clearly
    considering a run for the presidency himself.

    A pox on the political class.

    Screw SCOTUS by the way - Citizens United is how we got here, with
    Nazimusk offering cash prizes for voters and the like.

    Newsom and Bonta's argument targets the International Economic
    Emergency Powers Act, the law Trump is using to impose tariffs without congressional approval. The two Democrats argue Trump lacks the
    authority to levy tariffs under the law, mirroring a similar case
    filed Monday by a group of U.S. businesses.

    Several small businesses have done the same, but corporate American
    has avoided entanglements with the T-Borg.
