Supreme Court seems to think Trump’s tariff plan is a major question
The Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared unlikely to rule in favor of President Donald Trump’s tariffs and raised concerns about the administration’s position that the president’s plans are exempt from a legal doctrine that felled a landmark Obama-era climate rule…
Mark Chenoweth, president of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, which has filed its own litigation against the Trump administration’s tariffs under IEEPA, said during a press call that that some members of the court appeared leery about how the justices’ ruling in the case could create an opening for a future president to declare a climate emergency under IEEPA.
“I don’t think there will be five conservative votes for that,” Chenoweth said.
