If Trump Prevails On His Chaotic Tariffs Gambit @ The Supremes, It Will Mean That John Roberts Now Believes Statutes Do Not Mean What They Say, On Their Faces... Yikes.

To be clear, though -- I think this case will break 6-3, saying the IEEPA does not authorize Trumpian tariffs.

The statute could not be much clearer, on its face -- that Congress specifically withheld this sort of chaotic, random taxing / tariff power from the Executive -- and kept it where it belongs. . . that is, in Congress's hands. I'll not quote any of the silly filing the Manchurian Cantaloupe made yesterday, as it is poorly reasoned and largely based on preposterous fictions -- of undeclared wars and (faux) national emergencies.

I will link it for the sake of a complete record.

Onward, to the last full day with my youngest son at home, and then headed back to Oregon, tomorrow after about 15 days (counting the time in Vermont with all of them, as well). Now you know. Grin!
