"SCOTUS isn't so much slapping down Trump as it is *once again* telling Congress to do its job. If we want to use tariffs this way (separate debate, I'm skeptical), we can pass laws constitutionally. Way too much reliance on the executive and judicial branches to do things they won't/can't do with the authority they actually have. SCOTUS got it right, in my view."
"Trump, on the other hand, is seemingly furious over the decision, telling reporters on Friday during a White House presser that he is absolutely ashamed of the justices responsible for it. The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, Trump said. And I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country. He continued, I'd like to thank and congratulate Justices [Clarence] Thomas, [Samuel] Alito, and [Brett] Kavanaugh for their strength,"
The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's sweeping tariffs as illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, in a decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts. The ruling was joined by three liberal justices and by Trump-appointed Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. Fox News analyst Guy Benson praised the decision on X, arguing the Court told Congress to legislate on tariffs rather than relying on executive action. Justice Gorsuch questioned whether the precedent could allow future presidents to declare emergencies to impose policy. President Trump reacted angrily, calling the ruling disappointing and expressing shame toward certain justices.
