SCOTUSProfessor Chad Squitieri, director of the Separation of Powers Institute at Catholic Law, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post titled "The Supreme Court Should Listen to the Founders on Tariffs". In the piece, he discusses two cases before the Supreme Court concerning the president’s power to impose tariffs. The piece builds on Professor Squitieri’s scholarship, which addresses originalist evidence indicating that tariffs could be imposed either as a means of taxation or commerce-regulation.
