Supreme Court Examines Tariff Powers and Implications
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court debated whether Trump's broad use of tariffs, justified under a 48-year-old law, constitutes taxes and whether legal doctrines like the major questions and non-delegation limit presidential power, with many justices appearing skeptical of the administration's position. The case hinges on whether tariffs are considered taxes, which could lead to their invalidation, and reflects broader conservative efforts to limit executive authority. A decision is expected in the coming weeks or months.
