Friends, pretty soon the Supreme Court will be in a position to rule on the constitutionality of President Trump's sweeping (and sometimes rather fickle) tariffs on a host of countries. If SCOTUS pulls the rug out from under Trump, a vast, and lucrative, architecture of tariffs will come crashing down. Probably Trump could reconstruct parts of it by other means, but billions in revenue would have to be refunded, and, more importantly, Trump himself would be humbled and other countries would take his threats much less seriously. I don't know anything about the legality and constitutionality of tariffs, but I would hate to see DJT emasculated at this critical hour!

In other news, something is happening in the polls: Trump's popularity/favorability is flagging. Why now, though? The MSM despises him, sure, but nothing new there. Is it shutdown related? Maybe. Are economic and employment worries coming home to roost? Possibly. Has the anti-Trump hate machine simply dialed up its intensity, because it's election season? Could be. Whatever the cause, unfortunately these trends mean that Republicans are less likely to win big on Tuesday, and they may not win anywhere. Brace yourself for some progressive smugness, therefore!
