"Watch the courts," with a story to unfold.
A diplomat whispered, with a knowing grin,
The Trump tariffs were in trouble within.

A diplomat whispered, with a knowing grin,
The Trump tariffs were in trouble within.
A case in California, with Newsom's might,
Challenged the tariffs, day and night.
But it was another case, at the Trade Court's gate,
That pulled the rug from Trump's tariffs, too late.

But it was another case, at the Trade Court's gate,
That pulled the rug from Trump's tariffs, too late.
The judges ruled, with a stern face,
The tariffs were illegal, a constitutional mistake.
The White House appealed, with a hasty cry,
But the courts had spoken, and the tariffs would not fly.

The question remains, will the tariffs stick?
Will nations negotiate, or just take a trick?
Congress might come to the rescue, or so it's said,
But the Supreme Court's verdict, will be the final thread.

President Trump's power, was bypassed, it's true,
He proclaimed emergencies, to see his tariffs through.
But the courts said no, with a firm hand,
These powers are narrow, and cannot stand.

The Federalist Papers, and Nixon's past,
Were cited in the case, to show the president's cast.
The tariffs were not, a constitutional right,
And the White House's logic, was not in sight.

The tariffs were not, a constitutional right,
And the White House's logic, was not in sight.
The court also found, that the fentanyl tariffs too,
Were based on a flawed premise, and not true.
The president's claim, of "leverage" to gain,
Was not a valid reason, to impose such pain.

The case will now go, to the Supreme Court's door,
Where the final verdict, will be decided once more.
The White House is hemmed in, by its own courts' might,
And the tariffs' future, is not looking bright.
