Sweeping tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday are set to increase prices of cannabis products in the country, as many firms rely on Asia for manufacturing.

Tins, vape hardware and specialized glass remain difficult to source domestically, and companies remain largely dependent on Asia particularly China.

Shares of cannabis firms were trading down between 5% and 10% on Thursday.

An admin that is going to want the vote of #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts might do well to recall that Roberts spent years in private law practice.

One lawyer leading the anti-#Trump advocacy surmised that the #DOJ is “trying to play to #Trump, & #StephenMiller,” the deputy White House chief of staff. “It’s a very bad strategy,” the attorney added. “We’re by the day gaining more credibility with the Supreme Court by just not being crazy about court orders & judges.”

These stats don’t merely indicate that the #Trump admin is on the wrong side of the #law. They also reflect bad lawyering. The admin’s hyper-aggressive litigation strategy combines maximalist [abusive] assertions of the scope of #PresidentialPower w/the insistence that any potential intrusion on executive authority necessitates emergency relief. It is belligerent in tone, treating federal judges like junior associates at law firms, when not asserting that they are biased partisans.

These numbers are especially striking because the cases are at a preliminary stage, when the hurdles are high for those seeking to block an admin action.

With 6 emergency petitions challenging 4 different #Trump admin policies now before #SCOTUS, the coming days should provide a better sense of how Trump will fare there. The early indications are not good for the admin: the Court effectively rebuffed a request for emergency intervention involving #USAID, albeit by a vote of 5–4.

Remember when #Trump told people that they’d get tired of winning once he was in office? If you are a Trump Admin lawyer, it surely doesn’t feel that way. Based on the #litigation tracker compiled by #JustSecurity, the admin…has lost in 36 of 56 cases decided so far in the federal district courts & not yet subject to appellate rulings. It has lost in 10 of 15 cases that have been decided at the next level of review, the federal circuit courts of appeals.
