#sotomayor also mentioned the additional 10% tariff #trump slapped on Canada for airing an advertisement he didn’t like during the World Series.

These clearly don’t fall under the admin’s claim of a #trade “emergency”.

Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson’s Declaration of #independence

The newest #scotus Justice is increasingly willing to condemn the actions of the conservative majority, even when that means breaking with her liberal colleagues.

#gorsuch has mostly worried about #congress giving away too much of its power to federal agencies. It’s unclear whether he’ll have the same reservation with the president involved.

"Can you point to any other place in the code or any other time in history where that phrase together 'regulate importation' has been used to confer tariff imposing authority?" Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked.

A group representing the #immigration #judges had also appealed the lower court's determination that ​the challenge to the #speech restraint belongs before the agencies - so long as they are functional - instead of in court. That ⁠appeal was denied Tuesday.

That said, there’s no guarantee here∶ #scotus under Chief Justice #johnroberts has shown itself willing to create new & unprecedented legal immunities for #federal misconduct without a scintilla of historical support. It could always do so here too.

More than 90% of imports are subject to some aspect of #Trump’s #trade policy — #tariffs he announced this year or during his first term, or a sweeping exemption granted to some products, at least temporarily.

Chief Justice #roberts says the major questions doctrine seems to apply here. If so, that is bad news for the #trump admin.

“The vehicle is the imposition of #taxes on Americans, & that has always been a core power of #congress,” Chief Justice Roberts says.

The case has divided the conservative legal community.

The #constitution gives #congress the power to impose #taxes. But soon after taking office, #trump declared that a 1977 #law gave him the power to impose #tariffs unilaterally during “emergencies”.
