![IV. CONCLUSION
The U.S. Constitution affords critical protections against Executive action like that ordered
in EO 14230. Government officials, including the President, may not “subject[] individuals to
‘retaliatory actions’ after the fact for having engaged in protected speech.” Hous. Cmty. Coll. Sys.,
595 U.S. at 474 (quoting Nieves, 587 U.S. at 398). They may neither “use the power of the State
to punish or suppress disfavored expression,” Vullo, 602 U.S. at 188, nor engage in the use of
“purely personal and arbitrary power,” Yick Wo, 118 U.S. at 370. In this case, these and other
foundational protections were violated by EO 14230. On that basis, this Court has found that EO
14230 violates the Constitution and is thus null and void. For the reasons explained, plaintiff is
entitled to summary judgment and declaratory and permanent injunctive relief on Counts II
through IX of the Amended Complaint. The government’s motion to dismiss is denied.
An order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion will be entered contemporaneously.
Date: May 2, 2025

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
