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.

The alternative is that the law allows for suspension of trade entirely, at the discretion of the President.  Trump is arguing that tariffs are a lesser power than total suspension.

“Give me what I want or the baby gets it” doesn’t sound persuasive to me.  It might be within his power but it is not an argument to further expand his power and encroach on article I.
