""I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country," Trump told reporters. "I'd like to thank and congratulate justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our country." But speaking of the six who voted against the tariffs, he added later, "they also are a frankly disgrace to our nation those justices.""
"He said he will sign an order to impose a 10% "global tariff" under section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act "over and above our normal tariffs already being charged." That authority allows the president to enact duties of up to 15% for as long as 150 days to address a balance-of-payments or foreign exchange issues. Any extensions would require congressional approval, which Trump said he wouldn't seek."
President Donald Trump criticized six Supreme Court justices for striking down tariffs he imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and praised Justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh. He called the opposing justices "a frankly disgrace" and accused them of being "fools and lap dogs" for political opponents and of being swayed by foreign interests. He used IEEPA to impose reciprocal tariffs and levies tied to the fentanyl trade against China, Canada and Mexico. He said he would replace the levies using other authorities, including a 10% "global tariff" under section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act. He also said the administration would initiate investigations under section 301 to address unfair trade practices.
