WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today joined America Reports on Fox News to discuss his Judicial Relief Clarification Act and reciprocal tariffs.
Video and excerpts of Grassley’s remarks follow.
On Universal Injunctions:
“[My bill] would limit the injunction that a judge could do to his district and to the parties before the court, as opposed to a national injunction that would apply it to the other 92 districts around the United States. This would keep judges from being policy makers... Our legislation would also go on to another step, if it's necessary, to speed up the process of appeals.”
On Tariffs:
“We have a political leader that was elected by a big margin, both electoral and popular. He's carrying out a promise he made in the election to bring manufacturing to the United States, and increasing tariffs is part of it.
“I hope the end result of the tariffs is, that by putting on reciprocal tariffs, it brings other countries to bring their tariffs down. I think if we had less tariffs throughout the world, we'd have a stronger – not only U.S. economy, but we'd have a stronger world economy.”
