Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said that some conservative justices on the Supreme Court appear \u201cwilling to put the brakes\u201d on President Trump, as the high court considers the legality of the president\u2019s sweeping tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Wednesday\u2019s oral arguments on whether Trump overstepped his emergency authority to impose the levies, Chief Justice John Roberts and Trump-appointed Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch expressed skepticism toward the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s oral argument indicates that the conservative justices may finally be willing put the brakes on Donald Trump\u2019s utterly runaway arguments that he can do whatever he wants under Article 2 of the Constitution,\u201d Raskin told CNN\u2019s Dana Bash on \u201cInside Politics,\u201d referencing the constitutional article that grants presidential authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suit against Trump, brought in April by Democratic officials in 12 states and five small businesses, said that the president is overstepping his bounds as outlined by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The 1977 law allows the president to \u201cregulate\u201d economic transactions during a national emergency, but it had never been invoked to impose tariffs on foreign imports, until Trump did so this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raskin, a constitutional law professor, noted that Congress, not the president, has the power to regulate commerce according to Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. The president, in invoking IEEPA, deemed the country\u2019s trade deficits with foreign partners and the flow of migrants and fentanyl from Mexico, Canada and China as national emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Wednesday\u2019s arguments, Roberts said the administration\u2019s justification \u201cis being used for the power to impose tariffs on any product, from any country, for any amount, for any length of time,\u201d which he called \u201cmajor authority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrett and Gorsuch also asked pointed questions about the administration\u2019s justification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan you point to any other place in the code or any other time in history where that phrase together, \u2018regulate importation,\u2019 has been used to confer tariff-imposing authority?\u201d Barrett asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorsuch, meanwhile, noted that Congress could cede its responsibility to regulate foreign commerce or declare war if the court upholds the administration\u2019s argument the president has \u201cinherent authority\u201d over foreign affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
