that vote to become law..needs to be signed by Trump !!chetak wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026 22:40 Interesting if true
In a rare bipartisan clash with the White House, the U.S. Senate voted 52-47 to block President Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela without Congress’s explicit approval.
The decision came days after a shocking nighttime raid seized Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife, stirring fears of unchecked executive power.
Democrats, joined by five Republicans, cast a historic rebuke, asserting the Constitution’s checks on war powers.
The vote sent a thunderous message: even a president’s military ambitions face limits in a vigilant republic.

This only means the court is trying to backtrack from it's initial "advertised/speculated" position and is finding ways to rule this in favor of trump...At least, that's how I'm seeing it.chetak wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026 22:40Breaking news from the United States, where an anticipated verdict on tariffs linked to Donald Trump has been delayed by the US Supreme Court. According to a correspondent, while a ruling was expected, the court chose not to issue one today. The new dates for the pronouncement are not yet official, but there is speculation about future decision days. The correspondent states, 'The next we are hearing is, could be the 26th of January or the 20th of February when the Supreme Court could issue a ruling on this important matter.' The report highlights that the outcome is considered very important for Donald Trump, who is said to be watching the case closely to determine a future course of action, which might include approaching the US Congress.

If the court perceives that Trump Tarriffs are working to the advantage of the US, they might be trying to delay. They are SCOTUS after all. I am sure all three co-equal branches of the US govt. believe in "the US exceptionalism."
