I understand that this isn’t 1801, but in the lesson I taught today, we learned that Thomas Jefferson believed that the federal government served three primary functions:
Protect the country from foreign threats
Deliver the mail
Collect customs duties

The “government” not the “president”

The President is the chief executive of the federal government and authorized by Congress to set federal tariff policy under a panoply of statutes.

While you are correct, tariffs and duties are outlined in the constitution as being the responsibility of the congress. Unfortunately Congress in its efforts to offload their responsibilities so they can work on their reelection campaigns decided long ago to send this responsibility to the President. It is a completely open and shut case as long as the president can highlight a trade imbalance, national security risk, or economic emergency. All things that should be very easy considering we have a trade deficit with almost everyone, it is certainly a national security risk, and it probably isn’t an economic emergency, but the president has the authority to declare that and he did.

It was clearly unconstitutional when congress handed those powers over and this is the first time it’s being challenged at this level
Article I, Section: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, … but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”

Trump & Co. should pore through every statute that would authorize his tariffs (going back to 1789) to "save" every tariff they can and have an EO/declaration ready to go the day of the issuance of the opinion if it is contrary to his position.

Says who? You?
Sounds like major precedence here and SCOTUS gives a ton of weight to precedence.

Try again. The issue was litigated before in J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co. v. United States, 276 U.S. 394 (1928).

Held that the delegation of power is not unconstitutional.

He’s wrong, like most TDS sufferers.
