I don't think the Supreme Court has any jurisdiction in this issue. BTW
- the USA has lost the majority of the recent WTO rulings. The EU is
poised to slap 100% duty tariffs on a number of popular American exports
if Bush does not back down in accord with the WTO. The likely scenario
is that Bush will refuse to back down, the EU (and Asians) will
institute the 100% tariffs, exports will come to a halt, more jobs will
be lost, and the White House will tell us that not being able to export
is actually better for us - there will be more US made goods for us to buy.

I love it.

I heard on the news this AM that the WTO issued a final ruling that
declared the steel import tariff illegal and clears the way for other
countries to add almost any retaliatory tariff they want on any US
products. This is going to put the Dubya's tush in a crack again. If
he repeals it he gets the steel states upset and if he keeps it everyone
else gets ****ed.

The WTO may have declared it illegal, but it dont mean poop until
SCOTUS has made its decision. And its going before SCOTUS now.


I'm not with you on this, Gunner. What is it that's going before the Supreme
Court? What's the issue they're deciding, in other words?
