Did you hear the arguments today? The conservative justices look at these guys like they had shit on their faces.
A tariff is a tax. Only COngress can levy taxes, not the President.
Court appears dubious of Trump’s tariffs

The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed skeptical of President Donald Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs in a series of executive orders earlier this year. During more than two-and-a-half hours of oral arguments, a majority of the justices appeared to agree with the small businesses and states challenging the tariffs that they exceeded the powers given to the president under a federal law providing him the authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies created by foreign threats.
Additional skepticism came from Justice Neil Gorsuch, who raised two related objections to the powers that Trump is claiming. Gorsuch asked Sauer, on Trump’s theory, “what would prohibit Congress from just abdicating all responsibility to regulate foreign commerce, for that matter, [or] declare war to the President?” And a few minutes later, Gorsuch suggested that one problem with reading a law like IEEPA to give the president broad powers would be that it would create a “one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch” because, once the president had such powers, he could veto any effort by Congress to take them back.
Some of the other conservative justices joined Gorsuch in voicing skepticism. Chief Justice John Roberts, for example, suggested that Trump’s claim of power under IEEPA might violate the “major questions” doctrine – the idea that if Congress wants to grant power to make decisions of vast economic or political significance it must say so clearly. “The justification,” Roberts said, “is being used for a power to impose tariffs on any product from any country, in any amount for any length of time.”
