- Spivak 2y agoI'm not saying he won't win the case but you're daft if you think it won't be 5-4 on the grounds that congress actually has to pass something to signal their intent to the courts.
- Izikiel43 2y agoThe question here is not whether congress has to pass something, the question is can congress delegate this authority which is explicitly set by the constitution. There were a bunch of sentences regarding non delegation of powers of congress, mainly for federal agencies, and courts deciding that congress can't delegate those faculties, so, by the book, this would be a similar situation. There is actually an ongoing case for this aspect of the discussion: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/07/trump-tariffs-lawsuit https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/07/trump-tariff...
- dilyevsky 2y agoThe are a few republican judges that dont seem too keen on having their names attached to the demise of American empire
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoHow many of them are on the SCOTUS?

- hn_acc1 2y agoEven fewer that won't fall in line if threatened to be doxxed to the MAGA mob via Xitter.
- anigbrowl 2y agoI don't believe he can get a 7/2 ruling in SCOTUS. But I do believe he can get Republicans in the current Congress to jump for him, and to try to ensure their majority by disenfranchising people before the midterms.
