The American nation faces a legal question of existential dimensions tomorrow in oral argument before the US Supreme Court on the scope of the power of the President to exercise emergency tariff powers as delegated to him by Congress. The oral argument combines two separate cases that have been working their way through the inferior federal courts: Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (24-1287), Trump v. V.O.S. Selections (25A327). Will the Supreme Court rule, correctly, that the democratically elected Article II Executive Branch President Donald J. Trump, to whom the Article I Congress has delegated emergency tariff powers, has the authority to leverage those tariffs to address and mitigate the nation’s trade and other international emergencies? Or will a series of unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, district trial court judges, happily acceding to the political will of the anti-American Progressive Fascists win in their feckless argument that American commerce must instead be subject to manipulation and exploitation by scores of foreign and hostile nations?
