“The Supreme Court deliberated for months before moving to end the president’s unprecedented use of one tariff power, only for him to put a different tariff power to unprecedented use almost immediately. The court operates on a calendar of months and years; the executive, on a timetable of days and hours. The Constitution made the branches equal in power, not in speed. That asymmetry is a natural feature of the system. But in the hands of defiant presidents, it becomes a loophole readily exploited and prevents judicial decisions from being meaningfully implemented.” (02/25/26)
