(no congressional legislation required)

The Trump administration has other authorities it can use to impose tariffs similar to those the court struck down:

The administration could quickly replace the 10% across-the-board tariff with a similar tariff of up to 15% under Sec. 122. Those tariffs would last for only up to 150 days, after which the law requires Congressional action to extend (the law is not clear on whether the period could end after 150 days and then quickly restart again). Sec. 122 authorizes the President to address a balance of payments deficit or to prevent an imminent and significant depreciation in the dollar, but it does not require any formal investigation or process, so the administration could theoretically replace the current 10% tariff with a Sec. 122-based tariff within days if deemed necessary.
The US Trade Representative could quickly launch Sec. 301 investigations on key trading partners, laying the procedural groundwork for tariffs after the investigation is complete. This would take longer, likely several weeks at a minimum and probably a few months to complete several investigations. There is no limit on the level or duration of tariffs under Sec. 301.
Sec. 232 tariffs, which President Trump has already used for steel, aluminum, and autos, could be broadened to cover other sectors. We already expect additional sectoral tariffs (pharmaceuticals, semiconductors/electronics, etc) and uncertainty regarding the IEEPA-based tariffs could lead the White House to put more emphasis on sectoral tariffs, where there is much less legal uncertainty. President Trump has not emphasized sectoral tariffs as frequently lately as he did earlier this year, but if the White House finds it has less flexibility on country-focused tariffs, sectoral tariffs might receive more attention again.
Sec. 338 of the Trade Act of 1930 allows the President to impose tariffs of up to 50% on imports from countries that discriminate against the US. This authority, which has never been used, is similar to the authority under Sec. 301, except that it limits the amount of the tariffs but does not require a formal investigation.

I have been to Harley Bike week in Myrtle Beach every year for about 20 yrs and can tell you that the businesses suffer down there during black bike week. Waitresses don't get tipped, meals aren't being paid for, rooms are trashed and people harassed for no reason. I don't want to be judged because of their actions. I have black friends who tell us not to go during black bike week because of the way they act. It's not racism it is a fact! They aren't bikers, they are unruly animals on rice burners!!
