Episode notes
Judicial Overreach Limits Presidential Power
- Federal courts are increasingly ruling that the president has almost no authority to act, undermining presidential power.
- Trump’s emergency fentanyl tariffs were struck down despite addressing a declared national emergency under Congress's law.
Court Rejects Leverage as 'Dealing With'
- The court ruled tariffs used as leverage don’t directly "deal with" fentanyl trafficking, thus invalidating the emergency tariff.
- This reasoning ignores the law’s intent allowing the president to act on extraordinary threats.
Tariffs Prompt Tangible Fentanyl Action
- Tariffs on Canada prompted immediate action, like appointing a fentanyl czar, showing leverage can be effective.
- Courts dismiss this real-world impact, undermining practical emergency responses.
