This should be a slam dunk in #scotus but we'll have to see what they do if this fits with their beliefs and theories. As far as they have shown, their attitude is F"CK the Constitution.

@old_hippie this juxtaposition is why it's not a slam dunk. This is a problem made by Congress, and we haven't held congresspeople accountable for making it:

"Trump's use of emergency powers to bypass Congress and unilaterally impose tariffs on most of the world. The plaintiffs are arguing that Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1997"

So Trump isn't bypassing Congress as Congress already approved the authority... stupidly. Congress shouldn't have, and it should have canceled the authorization already.

The question now is one of nondelegation, and the Court would have to upend a TON of precedent to rule against the administration.
