(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.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
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.
