As the Pres may "regulate ... importation" under the act, I don't see what stops him from saying, "China, I am banning all importation from you. Oh, you don't want that? Pay the US an importation fee of __%, or sign a trade agreement. Oh no, that is not a tariff, not a tax, that is an importation fee under my regulation of imports power granted to me by the act."
Or he can use the other tariff statutes. or he may get an authorization by Congress under the reconciliation process.
In short, it seems the practical effect of the SCOTUS ruling is merely to cost billions and throw chaos into the system, but not really affect the strategy of the Trump foreign trade policy.
But what do i know?

You forgot about the long-term impact of reducing the executive branch with coming up with a new, novel way to interpret a decades old law that no former president had ever argued for in an attempt to grasp more executive power.

That would be a good thing, IMO.

This country is hellbent on just going bankrupt, morally and financially. Let every trade partner tariff the crap out of us, but we can't for reasons. But force a health policy on the country that has been nothing but disastrous, just like the covid vaccine rollout, but we are told its a tax basically, so deal with it.

We are so effed. The Swamp has judges and politicians that are just too compromised or leftist. Trump was our last hope. And they stop him at every turn. At this point, it just has to burn itself down. Bankruptcy is inevitable--nothing can stop it at this point. We will just watch the Amerikan experience take hold. But I can promise you that a lot of us aren't boarding the train. We will fight to the death. Heaven has far more waiting for us than this declining country and world.

Don't read headlines and expect to get clear answers as to what is going on.

This is not that big of a deal. The longer-term impact of reducing executive power was worth the temporary headache of just re-issuing the tariffs again under a different law. Kavanaugh agreed that this is the correct approach in his dissent.

Quick reader!

It's one of my two super-powers.

1st off, the actual opinion is pretty short. Quick to get to the meat of the issue.
2nd, reading opinions quickly is something you can train yourself to do if it is part of your job. it's 90% fluff, with the 10% of the content that really matters usually buried about 2/3rds of the way towards the end of the written opinion.

Unless it is a Thomas decision. He hits you right up front.

This is true.

But, if it is a Thomas decision, I usually know what it is going to say as soon as I learn that he authored the opinion.

I do like that he doesn't ever bury the lead, though. Reading through all of the case law being relied upon is a boring way to start an opinion.
