The Supreme Court hears oral arguments regarding the legality of President Trump's global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). While some media outlets describe the hearing as a "bloodbath" for the administration, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant expresses optimism. The case centers on whether Congress explicitly delegated taxing power to the executive branch or if tariffs fall under the president's inherent foreign affairs authority.

### Major Questions Doctrine, Supreme Court and Agency Power

Legal experts are monitoring the "Major Questions Doctrine," a Supreme Court principle that limits the authority of federal agencies to decide issues of vast economic or political significance without clear Congressional authorization. This doctrine, alongside the overturning of Chevron deference, could significantly impact Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s ability to unilaterally reform the FDA or CDC. The shift represents a broader effort to return regulatory power to the legislative branch.
