The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Wednesday about President Donald Trump’s use of tariffs. It won’t just be deciding the fate of his trade policy: The court’s ruling could redefine the limits of presidential economic power.
“This is huge,” said Bryan Riley, director of the National Taxpayers Union’s Free Trade Initiative. “It’s fundamentally a question of whether the Constitution even matters.”
“This case, if it goes the wrong way, will give this president and future presidents almost unchecked power over international transactions,” he added.
