68% Informative
A bipartisan group of prominent legal scholars and former government officials have filed an amicus brief supporting the lawsuit against Donald Trump's " Liberation Day " tariffs.
The brief unites big-name constitutional law scholars across the political spectrum in a way I have rarely seen.
Richard Epstein , Steve Calabresi , Harold Koh , Michael McConnell , Alan Sykes , and Gerard Magliocca are among those joining the brief.
The U.S. has anchored a global trading system built on transparency, deliberation, and the rule of law.
The President's tariff proclamations bypass the constitutional framework that lends legitimacy and predictability to American lawmaking.
The Court 's intervention is not merely appropriate; it is essential to reaffirm that in a republic, process cannot be subordinated to expediency.
