This is a good thing.
If SCOTUS follows precedent, they will lock arms and will say ok to Trump with no explanation whatsoever.
The U.S. Constitution primarily grants Congress the power to levy tariffs in Article I, Section 8, which allows Congress to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”. While tariffs are a constitutional power of the legislative branch, Congress has delegated some of this authority to the President through various statutes, such as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Additionally, Article I, Section 9 prohibits the government from taxing exports, known as the Export Clause.
Article I, Section 8:
This section is the primary source of constitutional authority for tariffs. It gives Congress the power to collect taxes, duties (tariffs), and regulate foreign commerce.
Uniformity:
This same section requires that these duties and excises be uniform throughout the United States.
Presidential Authority Delegated by Congress:
Although Congress holds the constitutional power, it has passed laws giving the president authority to impose tariffs in certain circumstances. This includes the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232) which allows the president to impose tariffs to address national security threats from imports, and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), another statute used to provide the president with tariff authority.
okay, so what’s the national security threat from imports? The African denim manufacturers aren’t putting any US workers out of business. The little things coming in under the old tariff-free didn’t threaten US employees or employers (I don’t care how hard they try, folks in Arkansas cannot make Aran Irish Wool sweaters…you have to be in Aran to make an Aran sweater).
Where is the threat? Where is the National Security issue?
