Donald Trump is hoping his tariffs will goad his liberal opponents into touting free trade and scoffing at the working class. Democrats don’t have to take the bait.

Not a bad idea, but I can’t help but be pessimistic. It’s clearly not an emergency. There’s no single event anyone can point to that caused this “emergency” and it wasn’t an emergency the first time Trump was president. If Congress won’t push back on this at all, why wouldn’t they shamelessly vote for a fake emergency like this one?
The supermajority would prevent one party from forcing it, at least how current elections are run.
As it is both the house and Senate tried to push through a resolution to cancel this “economic emergency” but I haven’t heard much progress on it in the last week or so.
This basically reverses the current model where they have to vote to end the emergency and makes it so they have to vote to affirm it.
