A challenge to the power of the presidency, a claim from a group of small business owners has its day in front of the U.S. supreme Court. Fox Shannon Bream explains how it's related to levies on other nations.

Well, the emergency powers statute the president has relied on never uses the word tariff, and no president has ever used the statute to levy them. Nearly every justice across the spectrum had tough questions for the government since, suggesting it may be an uphill battle for the White House to get to the five votes it needs to win.
