The majority doesn’t say IEEPA never allows a president to declare an emergency and impose tariffs, they just say the statute doesn’t allow *these* specific tariffs Ordinarily I’d say it’s the kind of issue one would want SCOTUS to resolve but, well, 😬

V.O.S. SELECTIONS, INC. v. TRUMP
IV
We are not addressing whether the President's actions should have beer aken as a matter of policy. Nor are we deciding whether [EEPA authorizes any tariffs at all. Ra-ther, the only issue we resolve on appeal is whethe the Trafficking Tariffs and Reciprocal Tariffs imposed by the Challenged Executive Orders are authorized by IEEPA. We conclude they are not.
