The Spin

Republican narrative

SCOTUS must act quickly to avoid flushing the red-hot economy down the toilet. Trump's tariffs protect American workers and industries from unfair foreign practices. Stripping his power undermines U.S. leverage, weakens economic security and risks immense national harm.

The Post Millennial

Democratic narrative

The administration's tariffs violate constitutional separation of powers by claiming emergency authority that Congress never intended to delegate. IEEPA is meant for sanctions, not broad trade policy. The major questions doctrine requires clear congressional authorization for actions of such vast economic significance.
