Public sentiment is largely negative regarding the Supreme Court's interim ruling on the Waqf Amendment Act, characterized by widespread distrust and frustration towards the judiciary. Many commenters accuse the court of bias and corruption, viewing the ruling as an example of political influence undermining justice and property rights. Calls for judicial reform and increased transparency are prevalent, along with feelings of disillusionment towards both government and judicial authority.

Supreme Court

Government of India

It's an overreach by the government into donated land. The previous waqf constitution was already pretty fair. The tribunal consisted of a judge,  a civil servant, and someone versed in Muslim law. If the tribunals decision wasn't to your liking you could contest it in high court and supreme court. 

Now they changed it to dm being the arbiter, and dm is a civil servant who comes under the government. Thereby the government is taking power away from the judiciary and giving it to its executive. It's a land grab aided by a hideous misinformation campaign for the masses to misrepresent the powers of waqf and what they do.

nuthins_goodman

You should watch newslaundry’s coverage of it on YouTube, it’s the only normal facts based coverage I’ve found so far.

Initial_Source6832

Waqf board has it's beginning connected with the IndoPak partition where the moving Muslims write off their properties in the name of Allah. So the Waqf Board took control of those many properties. Don't know how the waqf works currently and the problems present on their side

Swizzlesen

Nothing. 
Muslims will benefit from it and a lot of falsely claimed wakf property will be returned to their rightful owners, both hindu and muslim.
Entire villages can no longer be declared wakf on a whim of some maulvi with connections to the local land mafia.


99% of the dissent and hate for the bill comes from people with BDS (BJP Derangement Syndrome) and those who's vested interests in illegal wakf properties will be threatened. Like the Owaisi brothers.

If the Tariffs go away, the (right wing) press machine will be quiet about it and his followers are just going to assume that the tariffs worked. Mark my words.

I’m certain the Supreme Court will rule in Trump’s favor

Ok_Chemist6567

Frankly I'm surprised they haven't realized that he won't follow any court orders.

Huttser17

Not to worry. His bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court will overturn that in no time.

OttoHemi

He just tweeted a bit ago (written by someone else) that tariffs would continue. SCOTUS will back him.

BigWhiteDog

Well it has destroyed several businesses and significantly affected economies in the US and globally. Time for retribution. Lawsuits galore need to ensue. 

Vegetable_Horse4718

I think our country is dumb as hell and our president is a fascist dictator p*do

bigandtallandhungry

Like the supreme Court is going to rule against him.

porpoisebay

They won't go away. Laws and rules are for losers.

QueasyKaleidoscope99

My thoughts are if they have been ruled illegal, end them immediately. Why a court says they are illegal, but Ok to be in place until mid October is a fucking joke.

Emotional_Perv

RampagingBadgers

I think that they're causing a lot of damage, but to Americans more than anyone. How many postal services are simply not delivery to america right now, 26?

StormOfSpears

Absolute bullshit. Now this Maladministration can drag their feet with their appeal to SCOTUS.

The_Spyre

Govt will file an appeal and the next court will sit on it as long as possible

ImpliedSlashS

I would like to see Trump and the Republican party be made to pay for all the economic damage they caused. 

ddrober2003

His tariffs ARE illegal.  Unfortunately,  SCOTUS is so thoroughly compromised and corrupt they'll give their Dear Leader what he wants.  🙄

ToughPickle7553

Pisses me off, like just about everything that has happened this entire year.

MonsterAtEndOfBook

They are undoubtedly unconstitutional.  And the way the ruling was done comes down because they know the Supreme Court is no longer a legitimate institution.

CrasVox

Sounds right, this is something congress should be deciding not the president.

Kersenn

Won't matter. The appeals court stated that the legal route taken was illegal, but there are other legal routes so either those will be taken. Also, the supreme court will obviously side with him and if in some shocking turn of events they do not he will ignore them and they won't do anything about it. Time and time again he has shown that he will makes shit up and do his own thing and time and time again the powers that be do nothing about it because it suits their needs for the moment. Toddler Trump is not the problem. Everyone else who openly lets him him do whatever he wants to avoid the tantrum is.

SameBodybuilder3263

It's the first step towards these disgusting and unconstitutional tariffs being removed. These unlawful tariffs will eventually be removed completely, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Donald Trump used the tariffs to manipulate the markets for his own stock investment goals. When stocks were low enough, he bought low, then lowered the tariffs, and watched the stocks go back up so he could make a ton of money.

Long-Tip-5374

If you read the law or the constitution they are illegal.  The law says you need an emergency and Trump just makes up an emergency.  The constitution says only congress can imposed tariffs. None of that matters. The supreme court will once again bail Trump out and determine they are A OK.

ChrisFromLongIsland

I think this has to do with previous decisions that say lower courts can’t put up nationwide injunctions and being the president railing against judges. Judges are fearful of having their names / families / careers dragged through the mud all for the ego of this doof. If he stops them then the market goes into further chaos. So if he says they are illegal. Then stops them he has to deal with that then he knows it’s going to the Supreme Court anyways cause doof takes everything there because the way the new system is set up everything does and that’s the only check on power doof believes has any authority on him. He lets the Supreme Court finally rule and he just gets off with a weird tweet and goes about his day. And the Supreme Court can deal with the terrorization from doof.

themodefanatic

Gee...i wonder where this money is going?

taskmaster51

Will we even notice the tariffs go away? Its like the covid and supply chain price bumps that barely fell. 

CEOs will be like "well I mean people were paying this price anyway, might as well keep it high and stuff our pockets some more"

KtheMage36

powerlesshero111

A SCOTUS case is not a threat to Trump. He welcomes it and opens the door for a significant new precedent that we all get to pay for decades.

KoRaZee

Ok-Permit2640

It's fucked up.  Imagine a court saying like "slavery is unconstitutional but we're going to let everyone keep doing it until my mommy and daddy get around to weighing in on it, possibly a year or two from now."

This isn't a nuisance noise complaint or some shit; if the court rules that the government is *violating the Constitution of the United States* then that shit needs to stop immediately.

TennSeven

People need to suffer some consequences for awhile. I hope the Supreme Court let's them stand. This is what people voted for, they will never learn if they never face consequences.

I’m glad the federal courts are pushing back on unconstitutional executive actions.  The president is not a king.   This is clearly the domain of congress.

Moist-Meat-Popsicle

It is impossible for business, especially small businesses, to operate in this environment. Nobody has a clue as to what imported goods are going to cost tomorrow let alone in three months. It is impossible to budget, price, and forecast demand. 

This. Is. Insane.

foodiecpl4u

I think your (the USA) system is very broken. The fact that it is so easy for a convicted felon, rapist imbicil to just bully their way into office and cause havoc with your system and in turn, the world. 
Is just appalling. 

Even if things are eventually corrected, the amount of damage done before the courts finally get their asses in gear is shocking. 

The US will never be great again. Instead of fixing the problems, they have doubled down on the suck.

InspectoMan

The damage is already done. This is actually worse in some ways. We’ve proven as a country we aren’t safe to do business with or inside of. 

The dollars place as the reserve currency is going away very soon

stupidugly1889

These are ALL a drive to push the Unitary Executive. This idea has existed for decades. The increasingly diminishing popularity of the GOP forced their hand. If they didn't attempt it now they wouldn't have the power to go all-in

AfraidEnvironment711

The corporations will get their money back, but we won't.  The extra $50 i had to pay COD to get my sunglasses from the post office isn't coming back.  That money is already lining someone else's pockets.

MarcusSurealius

I think it's example #73729026 that the party that pretends to run on law and order couldn't give a flying fuck about law or order.

Johnnygunnz

As always, I think that the odds are that we could choose an eligible citizen randomly to be President and not do worse than our Child Rapist in Chief for at least the next 500 years.

ExperienceDaveness

I'm tired. I'm tired of half the country bending over backwards at the whim of a guy who sucked when he was at full capacity.

RhoOfFeh

More of the same. Apparently Trump can do anything with zero consequence. Thankfully his unhealthy body still has some. He’s no god.

CaptainTeembro

So if they are illegal, how are we getting our money back?

Avaposter

This was the plan. The tariffs get rolled back, the government has to refund companies, but companies don't have to refund consumers. Boom, record earnings.

Brilliant-Giraffe983

Dude is messing up America and the rest of the world SMH.

MiamiPower

No ones gonna do anything about it. Just like no one has done anything about all the crazy bullshit he's pulled so far.

That's how dictatorships work.

That Elon only lasted a few months says alot. Orange Clown is In no way a successful businessman. He's going to bankrupt us just like he's done to himself 

Oldschoolgirl49

I think the call on legality is right but allowing it to continue is🐂💩.

dezdog2

So basically, unconstitutional but still enforced — sounds about right for US politics.

Background-Jump5858

The serial child rapist already did his damage. 

It doesnt matter if they get repealed now, 

Even if the supreme joke comes out and says they are unconstitutional, the serial child rapist already did his damage.

I-Fail-Forward

Our court system is a joke is what I think.

Coakis

quirkymuse

F the Supreme Court.  They don’t need to be involved with 80% of the shit they hear and decide on.  Every single thing he doesn’t like they overturn disrespecting the lower courts.

New_Knowledge_5702

PEDO TACO has gotta do what a PEDO TACO does

Kriticalone2

That’s basically how all legal appeals everywhere work both inside and outside of the USA. 

The decision that’s being appealed is stayed pending appeal. This is not some underhanded “act of defiance” it’s the legal system.

_Connor

scotus will give him whatever he wants. that is how a dictatorship works.

COCPATax

He's going to do whatever he wants, regardless of Courts, because there is no adult holding his leash.

Miserable-Surprise67

Force the government's hand...nationwide in junction to prevent collection of tariffs...

TexanFromOhio

Business needs certainty to operate.  The on / off nature of everything is causing problems not just in the USA, but world wide.  It is increasing prices for everyone, not just US residents.  It is ruining businesses, everywhere,   Until there is a final ruling, months away, this uncertainty will continue.  And then what next?  Maybe it is me, but could Trump come up with something else?

Ok_Lecture_8886

About time the courts.stepped in and blocked these unconstitutional power grabs

Disastrous-Check-715

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!  Oh, he was serious!  Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

LordTalesin

I have no problem with it and if the shoe were in the other foot neither would Reddit . Imagine if we just started tearing down the ACA when the appeals court struck it down and then ..untear it once the Supreme Court rules in favor. 

The chief court needs to overturn the chief executive .

chicagotim1

I assume if Trump ever doesn’t violate the Constitution, it’s a coincidence. He does what he wants all day every day, doing so much illegal shit it’s impossible to stop it all. We’re so far past the point where it should have been cut off at the source, nothing makes sense anymore.

Phil_Bond

Well duh. 95% of what he is doing is unconstitutional. The problem is the lower courts are the only ones saying anything about it and it just ends up at the Supreme Court eventually and they are in his back pocket. Nobody is going to stop him until the people themselves do

4umlurker

I imagine the federal appeals court left them in place because the supreme court told them to, pending their own ruling.

Mister_Silk

He’s just negotiating. Idk if it’s gonna work or not.

Significant-Can-557

Policy aside (I'm not in favor of tariffs), 677 US District Court judges having the ability to override the president doesn't make sense. Waiting to enforce the ruling until it reaches a higher court seems reasonable, especially when it's not a one-way door.

vodiak

Appeals of ongoing processes mean whatever was that was happening continues to happen until the court process goes as high as it's going to and a decision is rendered. 


This is how its supposed to work. 

slice_of_pi

Well it doesn’t really matter when the Congress and the Supreme Court will rubber stamp anything he does.

FabulousCallsIAnswer

He knows the SC will rule in his favor so why bother stopping,. Also, he just ignores the courts anyway.

Bubbaganewsh

I think it's fucking stupid, they stay in place until Octoberish.

Ryte4flyte1

I think that every country shoukd have free trade. All tariffs do is raise prices for everyone.

JamesMattDillon

It says a lot when something is ruled unconstitutional yet still enforced the system bends for power, not for justice

Fast-Try-5112

I am absolutely livid that these terrors were even instituted in the first place.  Not just because it costs me and everybody else more for everything but because the fuckers are lying to us by telling us that we don’t pay the costs I know what things cost. I know the price increase.

mrbigglessworth

Trump owns half the SCOTUS. I’m not surprised at all that they’re going soft on him. I’m actually surprised that they are hindering him at all.

Jeramy_Jones

AdSmall1198

It’s the right call but I suspect that absent congressional action the Supreme Court will rule that Trump can claim anything is an emergency and allow these tariffs to continue.  For some reason conservatives believe a president is a god.

ramencents

It so dumb! When the supreme court strikes the tariffs down is the Trump going to repay all the tariffs they illegally collected? I doubt it.

FufusuArt

My thought is I'm sick of the administration trying to bypass the constitution and then the courts having to keep them in check. Sooner or later, he's just going to figure out he can stuff the Supreme Court with yes men and we're all fucked.

zerbey

It to an extent makes sense to leave them in place until the final ruling if only to keep the markets stable (fucked and stable is better than unstable and fucked).


The tariffs being unconstitutional makes sense too, but we'll see if the supreme Court agrees.

NeedAVeganDinner

The tariffs aren’t going anywhere. He’ll either do it anyways, or the SC will pull some ‘president can do whatever he wants’ bullshit.

CL4P-L3K

It will go to the Supreme Court and they will rule that Trump is a god and his will is all that matters.

raerae1991

The dumb thing is the Republicans control Congress.  They could simply implement Trump’s tariffs and it‘d be perfectly legal.  it only takes a simple majority yo do this which they have.  The filibuster /super majority thing is merely a rule the Senate self-imposes on itself.

The issue isn’t tariffs, it’s about a presidential power grab and following the Constitution.

Able_Original_486

Sure, just keep stealing my money till the very end.

375InStroke

Best case is they're removed and we can start trying to rebuild our global economy, but it's going to take decades at least starting from today.

SoftlySpokenPromises

We need to STOP calling these “Trump’s tariffs.” Republicans gleefully allowed this to happen. These are Republican tariffs and they should be referred to as such. Every time.

L3murCat

PragyaRS

It makes sense not to stop them immediately. There no reason for that kind of whip lash. Just get to the Supreme Court and find a final decision already.

MrE134

I think the average American man is a pansy and a coward and this is the dumbest God damn timeline where no one can seem to find their balls and do the right thing. And instead people advocate for the opposite, encouraging selfishness and a "mememememe" mentality which just ads to the brain rot. 

Everyday I'm more and more grateful that I didn't bring anyone here to suffer in this bs.

happyherbbby

The low conservative caste in the US never did care about the rule of law except whenever it helped them, so I'm not surprised.

Mazon_Del

My thoughts are that there is basically no rule of law at the highest level of this country, Trump is going to continue to do whatever the fuck he wants, and Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court are going to continue to roll over and let him.

Armidylano444

It feels weird when something is ruled unconstitutional but still enforced… like the system is stuck on “pause” until the Supreme Court decides.

elhoot96

The most modern American thing ever. Somethings illegal, but we wont do anything about it, and theres a non 0 chance the people who will make the final decision can/ will be bought or influenced for a baised decision.

MsBlades

The Court should have stopped them.  If trump appealed and won (God forbid) then Congress should step in take charge of them, not him.

robinsw26

If SCOTUS holds with the appeals court, Trump will go ballistic. If they side with him instead, he’s gonna be even more of a nightmare with tariffs.
