"Quick prognostication from questions although it's hard to read between lines: Kagan Sotomayor Jackson Barrett Gorsuch and Roberts are all skeptical of Trump's tariff power claims and arguments but for different reasons.

Kavanaugh is ambiguous but seemed mildly friendly to foreign policy claims Thomas was mostly quiet as he usually is but will probably end up in the Kavanaugh-to-Alito range"
