The Real Tariff Liberation Day Arrives at the Supreme Court

A 6-3 Supreme Court majority on Friday struck down President Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs (Learning Resources v. Trump) in a monumental vindication of the Constitution’s separation of powers. You might call it the real tariff Liberation Day.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Court’s decision for the law and the economy. Had Mr. Trump prevailed, future Presidents could have used emergency powers to bypass Congress and impose border taxes with little constraint.

  1. Oh, so it turns out that Trump isn't a fascist dictator capable of ignoring the law with impunity? That the system still works like it's supposed to? You must be so disappointed
