Glad seeing some pushback from Supreme Court in tariff case.


Kavanaugh asks why Trump is the first president to use IEEPA to impose tariffs
Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked the Justice Department why no other president had tried to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs.

Solicitor General John Sauer said that tariffs weren't the ideal way to address the emergencies that other presidents declared under the law.

Plus, there’s no question that Trump is by far more comfortable with tariffs as an economic and foreign policy tool than his predecessors, Sauer said.
