The article discusses the recent ruling by the United States Court of International Trade that struck down most of President Trump's tariffs as unlawful. Critics argue that Trump overstepped his constitutional powers, with the ruling specifically stating that neither the Constitution nor the International Emergency Economic Powers Act legitimizes the tariffs imposed by the President. The administration's pushback claims judicial overreach, which the article counters by highlighting the clear constitutional delegation of tariff power to Congress and the limited role of the judiciary in this instance.
The judiciary merely affirmed Congress's authority over tariff power rather than attempting to seize that power, making the argument of a judicial coup weak.
The Court's ruling emphasized that Trump's tariffs were not authorized by the Constitution or the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, highlighting the unlawful nature of his actions.
