That's an argument for the court to tank the tariffs. Biggest reason: there are other laws Trump can use to apply the tariffs. That gives SCOTUS their out to rule against Trump in this case.
but it's important to note that this case isn't just about the merits of the case. There are a lot of politics and $$trillions at stake

I listened to the whole argument. I came away thinking the justices were looking for ways to uphold the tariffs. Jackson at times didn’t seem to know what she was talking about and asked rather dumb questions. I think it will be 5-4 in favor of tariffs.

And frankly this is what he should've done from the get-go. The argument of expediency is a shallow one because of multiple TACOs which followed the inital announcement.

Maybe they should check the offshore accounts of the SCOTUS and see which look like anacondas swallowing a pig.

If it is about Congress delegating the tariff powers to the Executive, it appears that has already been done and precedented. Trump isn't legislating, he's exercising a conferred power.
Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas all are a firm, yes.
Roberts was pretty neutral and could go either way.
Barrett and Gorsuch started leaning as a no, but the opposition arguments were so bad that by the end, I think both were leaning towards yes.
So I could see any outcome for a yes from 8-2 to 5-4.
If they do rule against Trump, I can't see it as more than a 6-3 decision and most likely a 5-4.
If I had to make a bet, it would be in Trump's favor and a 6-3, but it's important to note that this case isn't just about the merits of the case. There are a lot of politics and $$trillions at stake, so it's really anyone's guess at this point what the final decision will be. Im sure the trump admin is making plans for either decision, and I doubt the case will stop him if they rule against him.
