Abstract

The article discusses the pivotal role of President Donald Trump's three appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—as the court considers the legality of Trump's global tariffs. The case will test the extent of presidential power under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which does not explicitly authorize tariffs. While Kavanaugh is seen as potentially supportive of Trump's position, Gorsuch and Barrett may lean towards questioning the legality of the tariffs based on statutory language and congressional authority. Chief Justice John Roberts' decision-making will also be crucial, as he balances legal doctrine with the court's institutional integrity. [Extracted from the article]
