President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would likely make the highly unusual move and head to the Supreme Court to watch arguments on the cases related to his tariffs.
On November 5, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether the president has the authority to impose his tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Talking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump talked about how important the cases are to him.
'We have a big case coming up in the Supreme Court, and I will tell you, that’s one of the most important cases in the history of our country,' he said. 'That's why I think I'm going to the Supreme Court to watch it.'
'I've not done that. And I've had some pretty big cases,' he added.
Presidents generally only go to the Supreme Court for ceremonial events, as their attendance at the Court while a party to the case could raise constitutional questions related to the separation of powers.
But Trump continues to be a breaker of norms, floating that the justices should expect him.

Scare the crap out of them.
If this case loses, there goes the primary pillar of Trumpnomics. So I hope the court considers what a bankrupt country we will be if they rule against it...
He has a great stink-eye.
I agree... Very well said.
That he does.
I’m no expert on such matters but it seems to me that that could backfire on him.
So will judges be deciding/defining our entire tariff structure for every nation that we trade with? If the president can’t act to correct unfair tariffs then who can?
And so much for separation of powers.
I think, that a tariff agreement, once maid, should be voted on by the House. Simple majority, and if passes, its law.
From what I understand, Congress had already decided to delegate their authority to the President.
So it's a simple fix. They can revoke the authority anytime they want as long as they are able to come up with the legislation for it.
Now judges are economic experts?
I think they are smart enough to know that they are not. Except for one or two far-left idiots.
The economic merits of tariffs are not what is being decided by the court.
> If the president can’t act to correct unfair tariffs then who can?<
The argument is Congress controls tariffs. Imagine how much corruption Schiff and Pocahontas could squeeze out of that.
EC
Chapter Four from Art of the Deal.
He will not show up because it would backfire. He’s just using his image and playing with the liberal media. Trump is too smart to try to pressure his own hand picked court.
The “art of the deal” continues...
Muhammad Ali would be impressed:
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”...
Anything that needs to go through a popularly voted Senate is useless
I hope he screams and wakes up the latinx and the mentally handicapped black woman, poor thing.
I am not certain the senate should have to agree on appropriations and Tariffs, since the power was delegated to the executive. The House, who is essentially in charge of appropriations, should vote yea or nay to negotiated tariff deals.
Congress cannot even produce a budget so expecting them to negotiate complex tariffs on tens of thousands of products with every nation on earth is something that is never going to happen. On average, the House of Representatives is in session for about 147 days per year, a little under 5 month of actual legislative days. They don’t have the time, nor the competence to do it.
