The Supreme Court’s decision against Trump’s emergency tariffs is a complete mess, both as a matter of logic and construction, as the opinion has different majorities in different sections. The justices themselves couldn’t even consistently agree on the ruling.
As Kavanaugh notes in his dissent, the decision effectively means Trump may unilaterally ban all foreign imports (an infinite tariff for all intents and purposes) on an emergency basis, but may not levy a $0.01 tariff on any good. You don’t have to be a lawyer to see how stupid and illogical that is.
But given his Obamacare decision, Roberts has made clear that stupid and illogical is the defining characteristic of Roberts’ tenure as chief justice.
