"The justices voted 6-3 to strike down the tariffs Trump imposed by citing the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which gives the president broad economic powers upon declaring a national emergency. In the ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts said the IEEPA does not give the president the power to impose tariffs. IEEPA's grant of authority to regulate . . . importation' falls short. IEEPA contains no reference to tariffs or duties, Roberts wrote."
"I am Stephanie Ruhle here with a very special edition of All In, because on this day, this is the day when the Supreme Court joined the No Kings movement, she said, referring to the mass protests against Trump and the sweeping powers he has claimed for himself. Donald Trump claimed the power to impose massive tariffs on any country, any time he wanted to raise taxes on American consumers and businesses all by himself. It was his signature domestic policy."
Supreme Court voted 6-3 to strike down tariffs imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, finding IEEPA does not authorize presidents to impose tariffs. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that IEEPA's grant of authority to regulate importation falls short, contains no reference to tariffs or duties, and that Congress has not used 'regulate' to authorize taxation. Multiple states and major companies sued over the tariffs. The decision generated immediate political reactions, including criticism from the president and a subsequent announcement of a 10% tariff on goods from all countries, creating uncertainty about enforcement and economic consequences.
