Meh, first I would like to see us following the constitution and make things more affordable.  If people are dumb enough to vote R after all this, nothing we can do about it.

Prices didn't go up under Biden and Obama?  You're retarded

So based on what I’m reading, the 3 liberal judges are highly skeptical while Alito and Thomas are, naturally, in favor of Trump’s position. The remaining 4 expressed some skepticism  though Kavanaugh seemed open to the foreign policy argument. 

This looks to be a 5-4 decision either way.

That's your conclusion?  And you're calling me retarded?

I’m going to correct this- I now think it’s going to go 6-3 with Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh in dissent.

One great question asked by one of the conservative justices (I think it was Gorsuch): Trump is claiming that the “emergency” gives him broad powers to impose tariffs without any restrictions based on the 1977 law. Gorsuch asked, under that interpretation could a future Democratic President decide that climate change is an emergency and tariff all gasoline fueled cars completely out of existence without Congress weighing in? The answer of course is yes. Trump is claiming all authority to himself in the name of the emergency. 

I doubt Trump helped his argument by threatening to tariff Brazil if Bolsonaro went to prison, and tariffing Canada because of a commercial he didn’t like. But I don’t know if these instances were brought up or not.
