My understandung is that the US Supreme Court is a "passive judicial body". It cannot take the initiative and must wait until a case is put before it like is usual for a court.
The new 15% tariffs are apparently according to the 1974 Trade Act which allows the President to increase tariffs up to 15% for up to 150 days.
- krapp 8mo agoThe Supreme Court can just make up its own rules. It made up its power of judicial review. Who's going to decide that they can't take initiative if they decide to?
- duxup 8mo agoSCOTUS can potentially take up a case at any point and it could had they wished decided the tariffs would not go into effect until they ruled.
