First, they discuss President Donald Trump’s firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi and what her sudden departure signals about loyalty and power within the administration.

Next, the discussion turns to the Supreme Court’s oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case. They unpack the justices’ questions, the constitutional stakes, and why Professor Murrary argues that the meaning of the 14th Amendment should not be up for debate. Which conservative justices are most likely to vote against Trump? And should the Supreme Court have even granted review of this case in the first place?

Preet opens the conversation by asking Feldman about his recently-launched Substack, the concept of what he calls “actionable wisdom,” and the importance of academics participating in public discourse.

They then turn to lessons learned from the public response to ICE operations in Minneapolis. Professor Feldman emphasizes the importance of speaking out against government overreach as a powerful tool to preserve democracy. Plus, how do the First and Fourth Amendment protections come into play?

]]><![CDATA[Inside the SCOTUS Ruling on Trump’s Tariffs — Live recording of Steve Vladeck & Preet Bharara ]]>https://staytuned.substack.com/p/inside-the-scotus-ruling-on-trumps-tariffshttps://staytuned.substack.com/p/inside-the-scotus-ruling-on-trumps-tariffsSat, 21 Feb 2026 01:35:11 GMTOn Friday morning, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs in a 6–3 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and the Court’s three liberal justices.

In a live conversation with Preet Bharara, constitutional law scholar Steve Vladeck breaks down what the Court actually held, why the voting lineup was so surprising, and what the ruling does—and doesn’t—signal about where the Supreme Court is headed next.

Notes on Preet and Steve’s conversation:

  • A “pure statutory interpretation” case. The Court rejected Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) as a basis for imposing broad, across-the-board tariffs—following lower-court skepticism and now closing the door at the Supreme Court level.

  • What happened in the Federal Circuit—and why it mattered. A dissent there argued it wasn’t crazy to read IEEPA as authorizing the tariffs. That dispute tees up the core tension: how far courts will go in reading sweeping economic power into broad statutory text.

  • Where the real daylight was inside the majority: the “major questions” problem. Even among the justices who struck the tariffs down, the biggest fault line was over major questions doctrine, and what it means for Congress’s ability (or failure) to delegate big economic decisions to the president.

  • The surprise dissent: Kavanaugh, not Gorsuch. After oral arguments, it looked like Justice Kavanaugh might join the majority. Yet, he wrote the principal dissent. Steve explains why that’s notable, especially because this case checks many of Gorsuch’s usual boxes (text, structure, skepticism of broad delegation). It also doesn’t map neatly onto how the justices lined up in major recent fights like student debt relief.

  • Is this a turning point in Trump cases? Steve’s read: a resounding but narrow signal. The Court is not reflexively ruling for Trump—but this isn’t a dramatic pivot or a new era, either.

  • The tariffs question everyone is asking: why were Biden’s okay? Steve walks through the key distinction: there are statutes that authorize tariffs, but they tend to be narrower, more subject-matter specific, and more procedurally constrained. Trump couldn’t use those existing authorities to justify tariffs this broad and sweeping.

  • Would the Court have ruled differently if the policy felt less like a “tantrum”? Maybe. Steve notes that justices live in the real world: they’re not immune to public reaction—or the hit to their own portfolios. Context doesn’t replace doctrine, but it can shape how doctrine gets applied at the margins.

  • What Trump does next. The big question now: can Trump repackage tariffs under a different, more specific statutory authority? Steve discusses a plausible path, which could be doing something narrow but branding it as huge.

  • The messy aftermath: do companies get refunds for tariffs already paid? No one knows yet. The Supreme Court didn’t resolve it, and the lower courts didn’t really tee it up. The justices seem content to let the Court of International Trade go first, likely through cleaner “remedy vehicles” such as company lawsuits (Costco is one example).

  • No quick closure for businesses. Even after a major ruling, the refund/remedy fight could drag on—along with jockeying over which court (or courts) ultimately decides it.

  • A bigger institutional takeaway: Congress’s fecklessness. Historically, you’d expect Congress, not courts, to step in when sweeping economic power is being asserted by the executive. The fact that the dispute is being litigated this way is, in Steve’s view, another indictment of legislative paralysis.

  • Will Justice Samuel Alito retire in June? Steve shares three clues that have fueled the speculation:

    1. a book release slated for October (an unusually busy time for the Court),

    2. a forthcoming biography, and

    3. shifting political incentives—especially if Democrats look more likely to control the Senate and confirmation of Trump’s replacement nominee becomes harder.

That’s the question at the center of this Substack Live conversation. After two U.S. citizens were killed by federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis this month, including Alex Pretti, who was shot by Border Patrol agents – Preet Bharara is joined by his Insider podcast co-host Joyce Vance and New York Congressman Dan Goldman. They reflect on what accountability looks like when the very institutions designed to enforce it appear unwilling (or unable) to do their jobs. What will Congress do?

Preet, Joyce, and Dan discuss the immediate aftermath of the shooting – the Trump administration’s shifting narrative, its disregard for facts and the law, and the larger pattern this moment highlights. Is oversight ultimately only as strong as the executive branch’s willingness to follow the law? Even when Congress acts through its investigations and legislation, its leverage can be blunted when executive branch agencies stonewall, disregard court orders, and treat laws as optional. Perhaps it comes down to us, the citizens, to demand change and continue to demand it until we see it? The conversation also gets practical about what Congress can do and where the limits really are.

You can now watch the video above.

What they cover:

  • Trump’s bid for DOJ reimbursement over “bad prosecutions”

    • Honig: “Nobody can stop this … Trump’s going to get paid. It may not be the full 230 [million], but it may be 60 million or 100 million.”

  • The prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James & the danger of partisan payback

    • Kingzinger: “These prosecutions are absolutely payback. .. I’m virtually certain they will fail…Letitia James is not blameless here, but that does not excuse or justify a retributive indictment, because where does that lead us?”

  • The fairness of the Bolton indictment

    • Kinzinger: “Bolton… is there something to it? A little bit. But where I think the unfair part is, is … If John Bolton had come out and said, ‘I am 100 percent behind Donald Trump. I’m going to support Donald Trump,’ would this prosecution be going on? And the answer to that, to me, is unequivocally no.”

  • The “Auto-pen” pardons report and how the issue could be litigated

    • Honig: “The only way this ever gets litigated is if DOJ says– let’s just pick your person who’s been pardoned, Hunter Biden. Let’s say they want to charge him again... Hunter Biden is going to say, yeah, but I was pardoned. Then they’re going to litigate it. But DOJ is going to have to show that Joe Biden did not know and did not authorize those pardoned, which there’s no evidence of that in the report.”

  • Language policing around Jan. 6

    • Honig: “Two DOJ prosecutors were suspended because they referred to January 6th as a “mob” and a “riot” when, I don’t know what other word in the English dictionary would apply to it. … They’re now at the level of not just pardoning the J6 defendants, not just firing the prosecutors and cops who handled those cases, but language policing. ...

    • Kinzinger: “...The Republicans are now the language police. They are now cancel culture.”
