"The opinion declared that the emergency powers granted to the president under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not include imposing tariffs. Trump, predictably, was furious about the ruling, vociferously bashing the justices even the ones he appointed and insisting he still could impose tariffs without Congress. Friday evening, he did just that, announcing in a Truth Social post that he was imposing a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately."
"In a survey of 1,931 U.S. adults, 60% said they approved of the Supreme Court's ruling striking down Trump's tariffs (43% strongly approved and 17% somewhat approved), 23% disapproved (9% somewhat disapproved and 14% somewhat disapproved), and 17% were not sure. Broken down by partisan affiliation, Democrats had the most favorable views of the opinion (88% approve, 6% disapprove, 6% not sure). A majority of Independents approved of the opinion as well (63% approve, 16% disapprove, 21% not sure)."
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs. Chief Justice John Roberts joined Justices Gorsuch, Barrett, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson in the majority, while Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh dissented. President Trump criticized the decision and announced a Global 10% Tariff on all countries via Truth Social, asserting continued tariff authority without Congress. A YouGov survey of 1,931 U.S. adults found 60% approved of the Court's ruling, 23% disapproved, and 17% were unsure. Democrats registered 88% approval and independents 63% approval.
