Episode notes
Scope Of Presidential Tariff Power
- The Supreme Court case challenges whether the president can use IEEPA to impose broad tariffs without Congress.
- A ruling for the administration could vastly expand executive trade powers and reshape future policy.
Statutory And Constitutional Clash
- Plaintiffs argue tariffs are effectively taxes and thus a congressional power, not presidential.
- The administration says IEEPA permits tariffs during declared emergencies like border threats or trade deficits.
Justices Worry About Precedent
- Justices expressed skepticism on both sides, probing how broadly 'emergency' and IEEPA can be read.
- Concerns centered on creating a precedent that future presidents could use to impose sweeping economic measures.
