Noah Feldman argues that court challenges to Trump's IEEPA tariff action would face steep hurdles since no court has reversed a presidential emergency determination under the act. He notes historical precedents, especially Nixon's Tariff case and non-delegation debates, and concludes that a successful legal challenge is unlikely while highlighting Feldman’s Harvard law background.
