Description
This episode explains what tariffs are and why the Constitution gives the taxing power to Congress. It covers the IEEPA tariffs and reciprocal tariffs, and the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on February 20, 2026 in Learning Resources v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorise tariffs. It also looks at the unresolved refunds of roughly $170 billion and the narrower replacement tariffs under Section 122, 301 and 232.
