Back in November, both conservative and liberal justices expressed skepticism towards the administration’s arguments that the President has unilateral authority to impose tariffs without congressional approval.
That said, the timeline for a ruling appears to be more or less typical for Supreme Court cases and not accelerated as initially predicted.
A ruling against President Trump would put his administration in an uncomfortable spot as tariffs are a key component of their negotiation strategies and trade policies.
Almost like they know the answer is “no he really can’t” but want to save the shitstorm for after the midterms.
