It’s hilarious to me how so much of the Trump presidency just proves time and again how thoroughly raped we are as a nation because the millisecond anyone tries to do basic national activities, like caring about your own citizens instead of literally the entire rest of the planet, it gets shot down because did you forget that America is supposed to be the worlds nigger?
 
Kavanaugh, in his dissent, basically explained to Trump which loophole to use to reapply them.
Although I firmly disagree with the Court’s holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs at issue in this case—albeit perhaps with a few additional procedural steps that IEEPA, as an emergency statute, does not require. Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338). In essence, the Court today concludes that the President checked the wrong statutory box by relying on IEEPA rather than another statute to impose these tariffs.

Here is how the Supreme Court explains its argument:
View attachment 8586710

The implementation of tariffs issue is ultimately one between the executive and legislative branch.

This is very cogent reasoning and also the justification behind striking down Chevron.

The responsibility of a branch of government is to be explicit in its laws and delegation of authority. Vagueness does not invite other branches of government or its agents the right to interpret and execute that law how they want. It warrants abuse.

Kavanaugh is correct. If the statue that Trump used is too vague, indirect, etc then the correct action is to rely on a more solid foundation.
