Part 15/17:
The transcript concludes with analysis of a upcoming Supreme Court case examining the scope of presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPA). Legal experts predict a nuanced debate, where conservative justices may split over whether the law grants broad powers to declare and act upon emergencies related to trade and national security.
The justices are expected to scrutinize whether the executive branch has overstepped constitutional bounds, especially given the legislative authority delineated in the Constitution’s Article I. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett are highlighted as pivotal figures in the decision, with the potential for a split ruling that could reshape the boundaries of presidential power.
