The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Don’t worry. Some Obama-appointed judge will be issuing a nationwide injunction any day now.

There might indeed be. There's a decent argument that the President has exceeded the power granted to him by Congress in just deciding to levy all these new tariffs.

I mean, he's not just acting absent Congressional approval for these changes - for many of these countries we have actual free trade agreements that were approved by Congress that establish what the rate of tariffs between the U.S. and the other country will be, and he's acting contrary to laws passed by Congress.

He might even have some trouble with conservative judges, since this is the sort of thing that they have railed against in the past - an Executive shouting "emergency" and claiming all sorts of extra-legislative powers. There were a fair number of conservative COVID era rulings that curtailed the power of state and federal authorities to use a simple finding of emergency as a way of exercising powers that were normally supposed to be governed by what the legislature had adopted.
