@ineedadrink Very true. But there was a bit of disagreement regarding the ruling.
"Justice Brett Kavanaugh called the Supreme Court’s decision striking down Trump’s emergency tariffs "illogical" in a fiery dissent on Friday and offered a roadmap of alternatives for Trump to attempt to carry out his signature economic policy.
Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, said the 6-3 majority cherry-picked ways in which Trump could regulate imports under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, making what he said was a textualist case that the law already allows similar forms of regulation on imports, including quotas and embargoes. Tariffs are not just in the same category as those but are a "far more modest" alternative to them, Kavanaugh said.
"If quotas and embargoes are a means to regulate importation, how are tariffs not a means to regulate importation? Nothing in the text supports such an illogical distinction," Kavanaugh wrote."

Roberts had the reputation of being conservative prior to becoming a Supreme Court justice, but hasn't been very conservative since. I have a friend who is a law professor at U of Iowa...he says you don't really know how they are going to rule until they get there. Amy Commie Barrett has been a total bust as well, but the signs were there. A Bush-ite and recommended by McConnell. Thomas and Alito are the only two who are reliable.

His job isn’t to favor conservative policies but to ensure policies are lawful. This was bound to happen.

There are at least 3 other paths the president can take to lay out similar appropriate tariffs.
This was hardly unexpected
