Supreme Court ruling was against tariffs under IEEPA. He is still able to use industry specific tariffs under Trade Expansion Act, that's how tariffs on Canadian auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors continue dispute Supreme Court ruling

    is it then not possible for him to circumvent the ruling entirely by simply taxing the industries that account for like 99% of the trade with a given country? like it probably wouldn't be possible to list all the industries but surely listing 10 most popular ones would essentially equate to a blanket tariff
