"I think it's about time that President Trump was told that he just can't arbitrarily say that there's an emergency, and I have to be the one to cure it.' I'm happy to see that it was a 6 to 3 decision, and it shows me that there is hope for the Supreme Court in the future, he continued. The 6-3 decision, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and ruling the emergency tariffs illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, was notably supported by Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett both of whom were appointed by Trump."
"During a Friday presser at the White House, the president called Gorsuch and Barrett an embarrassment to their families because of the way they voted, adding that he's absolutely ashamed of certain members of the court for not having the courage to do what's right for our country. Paul the C-SPAN caller isn't the only Republican to celebrate SCOTUS's decision so far, with Representative Don Bacon (R-NE), former Vice President Mike Pence, and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) all chiming in. With this decision, American families and businesses can breathe a sigh of relief, wrote Pence via X on Friday, calling the ruling a Win for the Separation of Powers."
The Supreme Court voted 6 to 3 to strike down President Donald Trump's sweeping emergency tariffs as illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The majority opinion was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and included support from Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. A New Jersey Republican caller to C-SPAN expressed delight and relief at the ruling. President Trump publicly criticized Justices Gorsuch and Barrett and expressed shame at some court members. Several Republicans, including Don Bacon, Mike Pence, and Rand Paul, voiced support for the decision and highlighted separation of powers concerns.
