Holding
The proclamation invokes Section 232 to reduce foreign reliance in the domestic aerospace supply chain, citing that foreign import reliance intolerably leaves the United States aerospace supply chain vulnerable to exogenous shocks and foreign manipulation. It aligns strongly with Article I and Article XIII on domestic industry, while its trade-intervention mechanism creates modest tension with the free-market principle of Article IX. No Automatic Fail: no explicit new tax on Americans is stated. Final 74 — Mostly America First.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0624 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
