The article discusses the widespread invocation of emergency powers by President Trump's administration, identifying multiple simultaneous crises prompting this action. Trump has utilized emergency powers more than any modern president in his early term, focusing on policies such as fossil fuel production and tariff imposition. Legal experts fear this trend may disrupt the constitutional balance of power, with concerns that the Supreme Court might support the administration's extensive use of such powers, possibly enabling greater executive authority. The White House asserts Trump is acting to resolve past failures rapidly.
The point of it is to get the case to the Supreme Court when he thinks he's got a majority, to give him unlimited power.
This is pedal to the metal on executive power.
