6 thoughts on “Supreme Court appears skeptical of legality of most of Trump’s tariffs

    1. There’s nothing murky about it. Congress has the constitutional authority to set tariffs, not the President. The only thing murky is congress’s understanding of their role as a check on the executive branch

  1. It shall be fun to see how the Roberts Court figures a way out of this predicament without making it even more clear that they apply laws differently based on whether it’s a Democratic or Republican president. Because there’s no way, if the roles had been reversed and Joe Biden had provoked a mob to rush the Capitol to try to overturn an election, that he would have been given immunity for his actions.

  2. This SCOTUS has bent over backwards to not cross Trump, it is about time they actually followed the constitution they are sworn to enforce. The Document is quite clear that Congress deals with funds and not the Executive Branch no matter what Trump and his loyalists want to believe.
