4. My observation is that Roberts always defers to the power of the sitting president.

I have posted this in another thread.

Obama with ACA, Trump with immunity, GWB with executive power and the war on terror, Biden with DACA, and some Covid and voting rights cases.

I think Trump will win this case, SCOTUS ruling that Congress has delegated its tariff power with various laws.
The Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934 (RTAA)
Trade Expansion Act of 1962 — Section 232
Trade Act of 1974

How anyone expects to get limits on presidential power already authorized in small parts over almost 100 years from THIS SCOTUS is beyond me.

6-3 or 7-2. We do have a pro-business Justice appointed by Obama.
