Hey Small Business Owners:
Who's a business owner you admire - someone in the public eye, who's had success, someone with integrity?
We need advisors for Integrity Matters, the leaders who stand up for the rules of free enterprise. Big businesses are AWFULLY QUIET.
So - who do you admire?

SCOTUS will give 47 a wide berth so he can keep his tariffs/personal agenda, rather than setting up a separations of powers showdown.

Organize. The tariff power belongs to Congress, and Congress can take it back. Join us.

By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority.
The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:
