“As a constitutional matter, the issue before the Supreme Court in the case of President Trump’s tariffs was a relatively easy one. If the Constitution was designed to prevent anything, it was economic rule by one-man decree. Declaring a national emergency due to foreign disputes and making the American people pay stiff import taxes as a consequence, without clear legislative authority — as Trump did last year — was never part of the Founders’ plan. But actually acting on this truth was not so simple, especially for a conservative court majority that faced overt pressure from a president who had appointed three of them.” (02/21/26)
