I Listened In On A Bit Of The Supremes' Argument -- On The Train -- Re Tariffs. Trump Is DOA.


I liked the level of incredulity the Tangerine 2.0 lawyers were met with.

So. . . to keep it brief -- I'll (ironically) defer to the WSJ, this morning -- on its editorial pages:

. . .The. . . [MAGA Crowd] tries to leapfrog all of the statutory obstacles by citing the President’s Article II foreign-policy authority.

Few conservatives are more deferential to presidential overseas authority than we [at WSJ] are. But the power of the purse still belongs to Congress and can’t simply be wished away with the words “foreign policy.”

Tariffs are [effectively] taxes on Americans. . . .


Game over -- as the power to tax. . . resides in. . . Congress, exclusively.
