Justice Epstein concurs with the judgment of Justice Gorsuch in part.

Only in part.

Except section 3.

Every opinion by Justice Epstein would be concurring in part and dissenting in part.

Welcome to Law Talk. I'm Charles C.W. Kirk. I'm here, of course, with Richard Epstein and with John

you. This is a production of the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin. Gentlemen,

welcome to the show. Always good to be here. Hey, Charlie, how you doing in Florida?

Did you get two feet of snow like the rest of the East Coast? We did not, but it was 34 degrees last

night in North Florida. Oh my God. So we're all panicking. But not panicking over the tariff

decision, which came down last Friday. It had been a long time in the works.

That had led to speculation that one of two things was happening.

One, that the court was going to uphold Trump's IEPA tariffs.

That didn't happen.

Two, that there was a great deal of debate within the court, and indeed within the usual factions on the court.

That did happen, at least on the Republican-appointed side.

Where to start?

Let's start with the majority opinion, which, as many predicted, was penned by John Roberts.

John, you, why don't you start us off by telling us what the Roberts' opinion said on the merits?

This is why the Law Talk podcast exists, is so that you, the listener, don't have to read

170 pages about tariffs, that me, Richard, and Charlie can break it down.

And I think we're probably going to have very different perspectives on the opinion,

because I, as I was saying Richard, probably, too, I dissent in part, I concur in part.
