Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump · ¶73

Unpack that last claim first. My concurring colleagues contend that, as a matter of “straight-up statutory construction,” IEEPA does not grant the President the power to impose tariffs. Post, at 310. In doing so, they make thoughtful points about the statute's text and context. But their approach today is difficult to square with how they have interpreted other statutes. Dissenting in past major questions cases, they have argued that broad statutory language granting powers to executive officials should be read for all it is worth. Yet, now, when it comes to IEEPA's similarly broad language granting powers to the President, they take a more constrained approach.
