According to The Washington Post, the president could impose tariffs under different laws. And Trump indicated just that in his press conference. Read more here:

At a White House press conference minutes ago. The president implied he was set to defy the Supreme Court order stopping his tariffs. Stay tuned in for more.
‘Way back in the day – nearly 250 years ago now – many Americans refused to support the new constitution unless a bill of rights was attached. This was a smart strategy since the colonies had been subjected to numerous injustices at the hands of the British. One horror was the right of the British authorities to enter homes virtually at will. These and other outrages motivated the colonist to rebel.
Now, as Hampton Law makes clear, a new ruling by the supreme Court has muddied the waters, weakening the protections against unreasonable search and seizure. The video below is informative, though scary.
I am an originalist — not the kind who is a self-proclaimed savant claiming to be able to divine the mind of people centuries ago. Instead, I am an originalist interested in perpetuating the message of that great document, the Declaration of Independence, soon to be celebrating it’s 250th anniversary, as well as that of the constitution.
Of course, no document can be perfect. In the case of the constitution, the founders realized this and wisely allowed for amendments. Surely amendments could be useful now.
In any event, most definitely we do not need the resurrection of a protective, isolationist stance which threatens to transmogrify the country from a democracy into a banana republic. As Martin Luther King Junior, said, “Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring!”

On Saturday, December 13, the American actor Dick Van Dyke turns 100. Currently featured on the cover of People magazine, Dick Van Dyke exudes an easy, happy confidence as he begins a second century of life.
After a long life of performing, Mr. Van Dyke has earned the praise of millions of people all over the world. Certainly his artistic accomplishments are many and fine. But best is his advice on the subject of hate – don’t engage; On choosing a career – find something you would do for free;
On daily life - don’t give in to a condition of constant upset over the way things are; And other such jewels of wisdom.
Dick Van Dyke demonstrates the truth in great artistry. It is an attitude of Goodwill. Say, what season of the year does this remind me of?
As Gov. Newsome says powerfully here, “Get up off your knees and fight! We have agency!”
Watch this inspiring and brief video here:Today I took my mental acuity test. I got all three memory words correct, which was as good as anyone EVER!!! I completely past the test on telling time, which they were stupid enough to use the same one as last year.
My wife, Melodia, tells me that she has never heard of anybody doing any better than I did today, and I am 97 years old!
Understand This is a really hard test, and most people struggle with it. But not me. I was absolutely brilliant!
The stupid liberal Dollycrats would be so doped up, they would be lucky to not be dragged out of there!!!,!🙂 👏🏼👏🏼
Most of this information is true, but the intent was purely for knowing humor.
