Tariffs

In the rush of over-heating but not particularly well-informed articles reacting to the Supreme Court's striking down of IEEPA tariffs today, John Hinderaker of PowerLine has posted a brief, sober, and helpful summary of how the decision was reached and the continuing doubt over how much it really will constrain the President's freedom in imposing tarrifs. I'll add that this was a real dogpile of concurring and disenting opinions that won't make for a very coherent precedent for the next tariff dispute. The majority of 6 was three conservatives and three liberals, who appeared to agree on little but the result, which resulted in a fistful of separate opinions. There were two dissenting opinions as well.
