WSJ warns Trump's big Supreme Court fight could trigger 'calamity'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : "Article I vests Congress with authority over taxation and foreign commerce.
40% : This was a response to the British Crown's taxation of the colonies without their consent" -- the very dispute that led to the Revolutionary War and America's independence from Britain.
39% : "Such arbitrary taxation without representation is precisely what the Constitution's Framers sought to prevent by vesting power over taxes and trade with Congress.
30% : " Trump, the board noted, still doesn't even seem to understand how tariffs work, claiming that other countries pay the taxes, when in reality U.S. importers pay them and raise prices for consumers in response.
17% : Specifically, Trump is set to argue for the constitutionality of his emergency tariffs, which a string of lower courts have said is an unlawful exercise of economic power, as he is imposing new taxes without congressional consent.
11% : See his recent 10% border tax hike on Canada in retaliation for the government of Ontario's TV ad quoting Ronald Reagan's criticism of tariffs," wrote the board.
