One of the key things the Supreme Court is supposed to do on an emergency motion is to balance the hardships to each sides.

🧵 I discussed the tariffs oral argument with June Grasso of @bloomberglaw.com. Today on the blog, I suggest that if the Court is concerned about excessive delegation, it should hold that the emergency declarations are insufficient to support Trump's tariffs even under a deferential standard.
