Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. The Supreme Court Friday struck down President Trump's tariff regimen. It's a stinging loss on an issue critical to his economic agenda. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the ruling was a mistake.
Chapter 2: What recent Supreme Court ruling affected President Trump's tariff policies?
Today was a loss for the American people because by taking away President Trump's instantaneous leverage using the IEPA authority, the American people have suffered a significant setback. Think to this time last year when President Trump put on the fentanyl tariffs against Mexico, Canada, China for the precursor chemicals. And then we saw a rapid decline in fentanyl deaths.
If that's not an emergency authority, what was?
Besant was speaking on Fox News. President Trump, meanwhile, announced a global 10 percent tariff using an authority that allows him to put tariffs in place for just 150 days before he must ask for congressional approval. A federal appeals court has cleared the way for Louisiana to enforce a law that requires public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
As NPR's Matt Bloom reports, that decision reverses a lower court ruling that blocked the posters from going up.
Republican lawmakers first passed the measure two years ago. It requires all public K-12 schools and colleges to post the biblical text for students to see. A group of families from multiple faith backgrounds sued, arguing it violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
While a lower court initially agreed, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals did not, primarily because the posters have not gone up yet and the court says the family's case was filed too early. Republican leaders say the ruling means schools must now comply. But critics of Louisiana's law say they will look for more ways to fight it.
The case's outcome could also affect the future of similar Ten Commandments laws passed in Texas and Arkansas. Matt Bloom, NPR News, New Orleans.
NASA could launch four astronauts on a mission to fly around the moon as soon as March 6th, and Peresnell Greenfield-Boyce reports that the space agency is working toward this launch date following a successful test fueling of its big moon rockets.
When NASA workers tried fueling up the 322-foot-tall rocket earlier this month, they had problems like a liquid hydrogen leak. But swapping out some seals and other work seems to have done the trick. Lori Glaze leads NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate.
