What does it mean?

I mean, this is a court that's originalist, and they're trying to interpret all the time what the words of a statute or the words of a constitution mean.

So they were looking at this and saying, you know, where do you get the authority in this statute to impose tariffs?

And it was pretty obvious during the oral arguments that there were enough votes, particularly the Chief Justice, and

The chief justice wrote this opinion.

I'll just note that when I predicted that, because whenever there's a big opinion that he's in in the center, he writes it.

He wrote the you know, the Supreme Court opinion giving President Trump limited presidential authority to be.

let's say, to be, I'm trying to think of the right word, not to be prosecuted for criminal acts committed in office.

He wrote that one.

He's written all the very, very big opinions.

So when we heard what he said in the oral arguments, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

And it's just a question of why it took so long.

And I think Justice Jackson had said last week that

in an interview, that there are nuances to this.

And we won't be able to see the nuances until we get through some of this.

170 pages.

I mean, there are concurrences and partial concurrences.

It's really, it's messy, I'd say.

Well, I think what the justices try to do is write as narrow an opinion as they possibly can.

So why get into an area they really don't have to get into?
