Today, I took part in a National Constitution Center podcast on the Supreme Court’s recent tariff decision. The other participants were Zach Shemtob (SCOTUSblog) and Julie SIlverbrook (NCC). In addition to considering the big-picture implications of the tariff ruling, we also discussed all seven of the majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions! The audio and a more detailed description of the podcast are available here. The same link also contains links to various articles and court decisions relevant to our discussion. I repost it here:
