So, you know, I mean, at least for people who aren't named Donald Trump, there is still the possibility of criminal prosecution, but it will almost certainly have to wait until the next administration.
I mean, at what point have these courts been effective in saving us from Donald Trump?
I mean, you know, there were multiple prosecutions against Donald Trump.
And what the Supreme Court said is he's immune.
So like the way to stop the government from behaving this way is to put someone else in charge of it.
It is possibly the biggest self-inflicted economic blow that the United States has done to itself in my lifetime. And the courts could just make that all go away. So, you know, that's exciting.

And the biggest trade story, I mean, maybe of the last 30 or 40 years is Donald Trump's tariffs and whether the president has the power to essentially impose enormous new taxes on imports that are expected to drive up the price of goods for every American. I listened to the oral argument yesterday in the trade court.

So the case is called VOS Selections versus Trump. VOS Selections is just a liquor and wine importer. They import Italian wines and various bottles from other countries. And so obviously, whenever they bring a bottle into the country, they have to pay the tariff, and that's not good for their business. And then there are four or five other businesses who've signed on with plaintiffs.
