Supreme Court to quickly consider if President Donald Trump has power to impose sweeping tariffs

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Three of the justices on the conservative-majority court were nominated by Trump in his first term.
46% : In recent decades, Congress has ceded some tariff authority to the president, and Trump has made the most of the power vacuum.
41% : While the tariffs and their erratic rollout have raised fears of higher prices and slower economic growth, Trump has also used them to pressure other countries into accepting new trade deals.
39% : It doesn't include his levies on foreign steel, aluminum and autos, or the tariffs Trump imposed on China in his first term that were kept by Democratic President Joe Biden.
39% : Trump can impose tariffs under other laws, but those have more limitations on the speed and severity with which he could act.
38% : The case involves two sets of import taxes, both of which Trump justified by declaring a national emergency: the tariffs first announced in April and the ones from February on imports from Canada, China and Mexico.
34% : Two lower courts have agreed that Trump didn't have the power to impose all the tariffs under an emergency powers law, though a divided appeals court left them in place.
