Paul Gigot: 法院的裁决对经济和法治具有重大影响。总统利用紧急权力征收关税，但这种做法如果被允许，将构成令人不安的先例。未来，民主党总统可能会以气候变化为由，对不符合要求的国家征收关税，但这一裁决阻止了这种可能性。我认为最高法院很可能会维持这一判决。 Alicia Finley: 我预料到了这个结果。1977年的《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEPA）并未明确授权总统可以随意对任何国家征收关税。虽然尼克松曾使用该法的前身来解决国际收支危机，但那次事件后，国会试图限制总统的权力。我认为特朗普总统可能违反了主要问题原则和不可授权原则，因为国会不能在没有任何明确限制原则的情况下授予总统广泛权力。 Kim Strassel: 特朗普政府声称在紧急状态下可以管理全球贸易和经济，但法院否定了这一点。这次法院的裁决超越了关税，涉及总统的权力及其界限。我认为总统选择通过紧急声明来实施关税，是因为他认为这更快、更有效，但最高法院可能会认为他有其他途径可行。总统绕过国会并切断其参与，这在法律上存在问题。 Kevin Hassett: 我认为法院的裁决是在重要的贸易谈判中进行的干扰，并且对芬太尼危机不是紧急情况的看法令人震惊。我确信上诉后，这一裁决将被推翻。我认为法院的裁决是在重要的贸易谈判中进行的干扰，并且对芬太尼危机不是紧急情况的看法令人震惊。
