Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump · ¶164

Before us, the President insists he may use IEEPA to equalize foreign and domestic duties—or not. He may use it to negotiate with foreign countries—or not. He may set tariffs at 1 percent or 1,000,000 percent. He may target one nation and one product or every nation and nearly every product. And he may change his mind at any time for nearly any reason. At least as I see it, history dating “back to near the Founding,” post, at 386–387, does not support the notion that Presidents have traditionally enjoyed so much power. More nearly, history refutes it.
