I think this points up some of the failures of coverage of Trump's lawlessness: You could've read dozens of articles on Trump's tariff policy with no inkling of how unprecedented & legally dubious was the legal authority he claimed to impose them.

The U.S. Court of International Trade gave the executive branch up to 10 days to complete the process of halting some of President Trump’s steepest tariffs.

Trump Tariffs Blocked by U.S. Court of International Trade

The U.S. Court of International Trade said the president had overstepped his authority in imposing his “reciprocal” tariffs globally, as well as levies on Canada and Mexico.
