Search Results: should he pay

It’s already tax payer money that pays these cops salaries ( might I add that a RIDICULOUS amount gets taken away from us). But the fact that cops lie in wait just to catch someone who is going 10 miles over the limit or to catch someone doing a rolling stop while there’s no other cars in sight is absolutely disgusting. These are not safety measures. They are milking people for money measures. It isn’t just the court that you have to pay, traffic citations will also inevitably come with higher car insurance rates. The whole thing is just one massive scam. I think this is an area of our society that needs some massive overhaul.

The key question for the justices on Wednesday was whether the president exceeded his authority when he used the 1977 emergency statute. Past presidents have relied on the law to impose sanctions or embargoes on other countries, but Mr. Trump is the first to use it to impose tariffs.

The conservative majority speakers suggested the administration’s position could represent an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the executive branch that would be difficult for Congress to reclaim. Justice Gorsuch warned of “a one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people’s elected representatives” in Congress.

The justices grappled with a doctrine favored by the conservative legal movement. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority repeatedly relied on the “major questions doctrine” to invalidate many of President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s key initiatives, including his student loan forgiveness program. The doctrine says presidential initiatives with “vast economic or political significance” must be clearly authorized by Congress.

The Trump administration has proposed or issued tariffs that cover roughly a third of U. S. imports under a nonemergency provision related to national security.

If the justices were to rule against Mr. Trump, the administration says it would be forced to unwind trade deals with other countries. The government might also have to pay billions in refunds to importers.The result could lead to economic ruin akin to the Great Depression. "It’s simply implausible” that Congress had “handed the president the power to overhaul the entire tariff system and the American economy in the process, allowing him to set and reset tariffs on any and every product from any and every country, at any and all times.”

A 2023 analysis by the Wrangell Sentinel showed what could happen if USPS created a special "Zone 10" for Alaska, Hawaii, and U. S. territories. For a half-pound Priority Mail Express package shipped from Seattle to Anchorage, the cost would have increased by about 27%.. The price disparities for private carriers indicate that 25% increase would be a basic "floor" with prices rising MUCH higher for air delivery within Alaska and the islands of Hawaii

Should ONLY buyers pay? Sellers? Split? At what ratio? Should brokers ONLY get a percentage or are flat fees (either as a standalone cost or ON TOP of the percentage cut? Are they even NEEDED?
