But if anyone thinks I spent half a century fighting for my equal rights to just give up….think again

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

Leavitt: "The people of Honduras have highlighted to him how the former President Hernandez was set up. This was a clear Biden over prosecution."

And now their argument to the Supremes is that the President has imposed regulatory tariffs, not revenue-generating tariffs, and so case isn't about the power to tax. (Nonsense, obv.)
