E parece que a Suprema Corte não está sendo convencida pelos argumentos de Trump para taxar todos os países
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices on Wednesday expressed some skepticism about President Donald Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs on imports under a law designed for use during a national emergency.
As the oral arguments over tariffs continues, stocks have jumped to the highs of the day on the apparent skepticism from the Supreme Court justices.
At noon, the S&P 500 rose 0.7% after opening lower. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average popped about 200 points.
The Russell 2000 Index, which tracks smaller companies that could be hit much harder by tariffs than larger firms, rose nearly 1.5%.
At the same time, U.S. Treasury bonds fell and yields rose, signaling that the market may be worried about potential refunds that would be required if the administration loses the case.
In an exchange with U.S. Solicitor General Sauer, Chief Justice John Roberts appeared to be skeptical about the argument that the government is using to push for Trump’s tariffs.
Roberts said “the imposition of taxes on Americans” has always “been the core power of Congress.”
Roberts also said the major questions doctrine “might be directly applicable.”
“The statue doesn’t use the word tariff,” Roberts said.
Justice Elena Kagan, speaking to Solicitor General John Sauer, said that “if one does not think that with respect to tariffs … that a tariff is a taxing power, is a regulation of foreign commerce, that is really delegated by the Constitution to Congress, that argument does not sound so well.”
Kagan’s comment was one of many from both liberal and conservative justices questioning the assertion by the Trump administration.
Sauer argued that “everyone knows” that the U.S. is in a kind of emergency with regard to trade deficits, which is the administration’s premise for issuing sweeping tariffs under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.
“It turns out we’re in emergencies about everything all the time,” Kagan quipped.
“Is it your contention that every country needed to be tariffed because of threats to the defense and industrial base,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked Solicitior General John Sauer.
“I mean, Spain, France? I could see it with some countries, but explain to me why as many countries needed to be subject to the reciprocal tariff policy,” Barrett continued.
Sauer responded that “there’s this sort of lack of reciprocity, this asymmetric treatment of our trade, with respect to foreign countries that does run across the board,” repeating an argument the administration has used to invoke presidential authority to issue the duties under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act.
