The Senate on Wednesday narrowly passed a resolution that would repeal President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada after passing a similar resolution Tuesday that would repeal tariffs on Brazil.

Republicans Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell and co-sponsor Rand Paul voted with all Senate Democrats to pass the measure by a 50-46 margin. It needed only a simple majority to pass.

Five Republicans voted with Democrats on Tuesday to pass the Brazil tariff resolution. That resolution would terminate the emergency declaration that Trump made in July and, as a result, lift the tariffs that were imposed on Brazilian goods as a result.

The vote on the Canadian tariffs comes after Trump announced earlier this week that he's adding an extra 10% tariff on Canadian imports because a negative TV commercial from the Ontario government that featured a speech by former President Ronald Reagan in which he said tariffs hurt Americans long-term.

1. Trickle, Trickle, Trickle.

2. Susan was concerned

Because the tariffs hurt Maine.

Something amazing just happened, Susan Collins working for her constituents instead of Krasnov.

[slightlv]

19. Are you sure it was her constituents and not her own affiliated companies?

[kimbutgar]

3. This is a nothing burger the orange turd will veto it when it comes to his desk

[BumRushDaShow]

5. It's showing the first pushback by the GOP zombies

who are getting slammed by their MAGat constituents.

[eggplant]

4. Mike Johnson will get right on that.

[popsdenver]

6. The House will veto it

next time the Republican House will pass a resolution, and the Republican Senate will veto it.....It's a game......

[Wiz Imp]

10. The House and Sente can not "veto" legislation.

Only the President can.

[James48]

13. That assumes the House will someday meet again

I’m not that optimistic.

[PSPS]

15. Um, this isn't "legislation" at all, just a "resolution." A toothless suggestion.

[onenote]

16. Actually, its not toothless -- it has the same effect as legislation if passed by both houses.

Of course, that means it also needs to be passed by the House and can be vetoed by Trump. So its more symbolic at this point.

[popsdenver]

21. Thx

[MacKasey]

7. Why don't the Democrats start living in the house

And have non stop speakers

Wouldn't screw up republicans

And if they get a few republicans to go independent maybe they could elect a new speaker

[onenote]

17. Because the Speaker is the one to call the House into session.

And as soon as it is called into session each day -- a pro forma session -- it is gaveled into adjournment.
So if Democrats want to stand around and make speeches, chances are no one will hear them, they won't be reported in the Congressional Record, they will, unfortunately, be no more meaningful than speeches given out on the street.

[MacKasey]

23. I realize that,

But I'm talking about making it a media event it's just so it shows Democrats are ready to work and Republicans are not

[BidenRocks]

8. Just whizzin' in a wetsuit.

A warm feeling that goes down!

[AllyCat]

9. Resolution. Holds no weight.

A statement which is better than nothing, but has no teeth at all.

July. It’s almost freaking November and they just thought maybe we should look at the tariffs?

This Congress is useless.

[Raven123]

14. On the bright side, they voted after JD Couchrider asked them not to.

A little crack in the Trump armor, but no way can JD patch it.

[onenote]

18. Actually a joint resolution has the same effect as legislation.

And if it was passed by the House and signed by the President it would be law. Of course the House won't vote on it and even if they did and passed it, Trump would veto it and there wouldn't be enough votes to override.

But it is a common misunderstanding that joint resolutions have no weight.

[Hekate]

11. Well, well. That makes the second one this week. Yes, cynical people are saying the House needs...

…to come back. But from where I sit, it looks like a logjam is cracking.

Just a gleam of hope.

[Warpy]

12. I never thought I'd accuse Rand Paul of elpqiemce, let alone veracity

but he did both when he pointed out the difference between an emergency and what Asshole is trying to pull.

Now all somebody has to do is drag Johnson back to Congress (in chains and at gunpoint sound good) and force him to do his fucking job, along with the rest of his rotten party.

[Bayard]

20. Its like they're sending up a flare--

Help Us! Save Us From The Crazy Man!

[Old Crank]

22. Just watch him slap another

Round of tariffs on both countries.
And work to primary the GOP senators.
