There is no exception to the major questions doctrine for emergency
statutes. Nor does the fact that tariffs implicate foreign affairs render
the doctrine inapplicable. The Framers gave โ€œCongress aloneโ€ the
power to impose tariffs during peacetime. Merritt v. Welsh, 104 U. S.
694, 700. And the foreign affairs implications of tariffs do not make it
any more likely that Congress would relinquish its tariff power
through vague language, or without careful limits.

(a) IEEPA authorizes the President to โ€œinvestigate, block during the
pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void,
prevent or prohibit . . . importation or exportation.โ€ ยง1702(a)(1)(B).
Absent from this lengthy list of specific powers is any mention of tariffs
or duties. Had Congress intended to convey the distinct and extraordinary power to impose tariffs, it would have done so expressly, as it
consistently has in other tariff statutes.
The power to โ€œregulate . . . importationโ€ does not fill that void. The
term โ€œregulate,โ€ as ordinarily used, means to โ€œfix, establish, or control;
to adjust by rule, method, or established mode; to direct by rule or restriction; to subject to governing principles or laws.โ€ Blackโ€™s Law Dictionary 1156. The facial breadth of this definition places in stark relief
what โ€regulateโ€ is not usually thought to include: taxation. Many statutes grant the Executive the power to โ€œregulate.โ€ Yet the Government
cannot identify any statute in which the power to regulate includes the
power to tax. The Court is therefore skeptical that in IEEPAโ€”and
IEEPA aloneโ€”Congress hid a delegation of its birth-right power to tax
within the quotidian power to โ€œregulate.โ€
While taxes may accomplish regulatory ends, it does not follow that
the power to regulate includes the power to tax as a means of regulation. Indeed, when Congress addresses both the power to regulate and
the power to tax, it does so separately and expressly. That it did not
do so here is strong evidence that โ€œregulateโ€ in IEEPA does not include
taxation.

Supreme Court absolutely bodies Trump on IEEPA.

Just complete groin kicking.

They could have said that IEEPA lets him impose tariffs in an emergency but that this didn't qualify as one of those, or he failed to define one.

It didn't.

It ruled IEEPA doesn't let him impose tariffs at all.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE

then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

We'd be so much better off, Paine argued, if the Colonists could be left alone in their multi-cultural economic zone instead of being dragged around by a king fighting other kings.

Another thing Paine was mad about was that Britain kept getting into stupid wars with other European monarchies and this was messing up the Colonists' trade relations with all these other countries who, he thought, wouldn't have been beefing with America directly.

Elon Musk was babbling about how nobody ever died for their multi-cultural economic zone--but that's exactly what Thomas Paine proposed in Common Sense, and a lot of people took him up on that.

Rereading Common Sense. I had forgotten that one of Paine's arguments for independence was the diversity of the colonists. Why should Americans be British subjects when most of them weren't even English?

โ€œNot one third of the inhabitants, even of this province, are of English descent,โ€ Thomas Paine noted in Common Sense, "This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe."
