(DCNF)—Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Wednesday on Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s legal team missed a crucial opportunity before the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court might move to curb Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs after signaling skepticism toward his legal team’s defense during oral arguments Wednesday. Appearing on “The Record with Greta Van Susteren,” Dershowitz said Trump’s lawyers failed to center their argument on constitutional authority and foreign policy powers.
“I wish his lawyers would have consulted more widely with people outside who could have given them advice about how to argue to this Supreme Court,” Dershowitz said. “And they may have lost some of the middle justices, Roberts and Gorsuch, and others. And so if you have to make a prediction, Oliver Wendell Holmes once said the job of a lawyer is to predict what the courts will do.”
Dershowitz added that Trump could still return to court on constitutional grounds but warned it would take time.
“Based on the arguments, I would have to predict the president might very well lose this. Now he could come back, perhaps, and re-litigate this thing on constitutional grounds, but it would take time to do it,” Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz defended the skill of both legal teams but criticized the business lawyers’ suggestion that Congress could easily resolve the matter.
“The lawyers on both sides are excellent. But Neil, the lawyer for the businesspeople, basically said, ‘Oh, don’t worry. If the president doesn’t have the power, you just go across the street and get Congress to do it.’ That doesn’t recognize the realities of how Congress operates,” Dershowitz said. “If the president loses the power to use these things as a way of leveraging foreign policy, he may lose it for good. And it may give to Congress the power, more power to make foreign policy and to make military decisions than the Constitution allocated to them.”
Trump cited two national emergencies to justify his tariff actions, first linking the fentanyl crisis to new duties on Canada, China and Mexico in February, then invoking trade imbalances in April to roll out “Liberation Day” import taxes beginning at 10% and rising by country.
As Dershowitz pointed out, Trump’s legal team centered its case on statutory interpretation rather than constitutional authority, with Solicitor General John Sauer arguing that Congress’ grant of power to “regulate importation” under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act inherently includes tariffs even without using the term. Chief Justice John Roberts pushed back, warning that such a reading would give the president vast and indefinite power to tax any import from any country.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
The Supreme Court Jesters did nothing about hearing 2020 presidential election cases because, they said, the states had “no standing” to present such cases. No standing! What the hell? Now if this court goes against Trump’s tariffs we will have to return $195 billion (before interest claims) the office of the presidency will be severely damaged and this country will go into a major downspin. President Trump has ended 8 wars because of his intelligent use of tariffs, the country is booming and now we’ve got 8 clowns and one retarded Broadway “star” who couldn’t even tell you what a woman is on the Supreme Court about to destroy this nation. If these fools go against Trump, we might as well not have a United States. Hand the corrupt place over to the Islamist extremists or give it to Putin because it’s won’t be worth a damn anymore.
