This. 
Big day today for the United States. SCOTUS will hear Trump’s tariff case. [b]Observers expect Trump to win[/b] but you have to wonder how yesterday’s drubbing of the GOP will affect the Roberts court. [/quote]

Not even the WSJ believes this or reports this.

"Prediction markets anticipate the Supreme Court will most likely reject Trump's arguments. On Polymarket, bettors assessed the president's chances of victory at 39% early Wednesday. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures slipped ahead of the hearing, after markets stumbled Tuesday.""

+1 the SC has deferred a lot in its emergency rulings to Trump. But they haven’t had to explain themselves in those and they are relying heavily on the idea of a unitary executive.

This is far more fundamentally about who has the power to tariff.  That constitutional power clearly resides with Congress and the other animating idea of this conservative court is the “nondelegation doctrine”. To oversimplify the idea that Congress cannot delegate its constitutional prerogatives to the executive.

Upholding the admin’s claims would upend the separation of powers on an unambiguous reading of both the constitution and IEEPA. It would be a betrayal of the principles these conservative justices claim to hold if they rule in favor of the admin.

+1 Well put. Plus Roberts & Co. know tariffs are bad for the economy, so they may want to rein in Trump’s dumb impulses in order to save the economy from getting so bad that it sinks the GOP for years.[/quote]
