    Major Questions or Major Exceptions? The Supreme Court's Tariffs Decision
    Feb 25 2026

    Join the litigators of the Texas Public Policy Foundation for the premiere of Rightly Decided as we dissect why the Supreme Court ruled that the president cannot use the IEEPA to unilaterally impose tariffs. We explore the use of the major questions doctrine and discuss the different approaches each justice on the Court takes—all while acknowledging the Nondelegation Doctrine lurking in the shadows…

    Is the president a babysitter with a credit card? Is there a “major questions” exception to the major questions doctrine? How clear does Congress have to be when it delegates its enumerated powers to the president?

    What we cover in this episode:
    🏛️ The 6–3 SCOTUS ruling: Why the IEEPA doesn't authorize global tariffs
    ⚖️ The "Major Questions" plurality and the limits of emergency authority
    🔮 The future of the major questions doctrine and nondelegation of congressional authority
