The legality of President Trump's widespreading tariffs could be ruled on soon by the Supreme Court. The justices heard the case in early November. The court's decision could have massive implications for American consumers and businesses, the economy and presidential authority.        Freezing temperatures are gripping a large part of the country. Life-threatening wind chill temperatures have already impacted parts of the Northern Plains, Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley and Northeast. This first wave of arctic air will slightly ease by tomorrow, before another surge of cold air hits the Midwest on Thursday.        President Trump will be in Switzerland today for the World Economic Forum in Davos amid his push to acquire Greenland. His designs on the Danish territory have created unprecedented concerns among NATO allies. Trump has threatened tariffs on European allies that oppose his plans and the EU is considering retaliatory tariffs.        Whether states have the right to ban guns on private property that's open to the public is in the hands of the Supreme Court. At the center of today's case is a Hawaii law that does just that, unless a gun owner has specific permission from the property owner. Similar laws are in effect in California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey.        Timothy Busfield is going to be edited out of an upcoming Amazon MGM after being charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse .Amazon's "You Deserve Each Other" shows Busfield as a top-billed actor in the project, alongside Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy. This is the second project involving Busfield to be affected, as an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" was pulled from airing after the allegations came out.        A first-time National Champion has been crowned. The Indiana Hoosiers took down the Miami Hurricanes 27-21 in the College Football Playoff title game from Hard Rock Stadium. Fernando Mendoza dove for a key rushing touchdown to make it a two-score game in the fourth quarter. Top-ranked Indiana finished a perfect, 16-and-0 on the season.
