Law Professor's Take on the SCOTUS Decision on Tariffs Will Likely Not Please the Libs

Earlier today, Amy shared that the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's tariffs. Yet, have no fear; George Washington University Law School professor and legal scholar Jonathan Turley said this isn’t over. The administration can still impose tariffs through other statutes.

JONATHAN TURLEY: "There's a lot of runway still for the administration..."

"The administration has other tools in its toolbox. It CAN actually impose tariffs under other statutes!" https://t.co/xGN3evQLch pic.twitter.com/Kya76PnD6y

“The administration has other tools in its toolbox. It can actually impose tariffs under other statutes,” he said. Turley also said there’s plenty of runway for the Trump White House in this area of economic policy.

It’s still a gut punch, but this fight isn’t over.

The Court’s ruling applies only to tariffs imposed under IEEPA. The decision does NOT invalidate tariffs imposed under other statutes (e.g., Section 232 or Section 301). It holds only that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.
