A U.S. Supreme Court ruling just declared Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs unconstitutional. Trump hasn’t responded yet, but things are about to get spicy.

In the end it's the US consumers and businesses that ends up paying for it. 🤷♀️🤷🤷♂️
Thinking that the quickly imposed 10% tariffs across the board (now raised to 15%?) are out of pure spite. Such a whiney little child.
Wondering if the supposed increase in coal use will spur RRoad traffic out of the Powder River Coal Basin?
Why not just section 301 for all tariffs on countries. It has been in place on china since 2018?
So, to recap, Donald Trump will rename tariffs something else and get it tied up in the courts for months/maybe years. In the meantime, he'll start targeting the judicial system, maybe even the Supreme Court, but definitely the lower courts. In the meantime, he'll make sure that the republicans in the legislative branch toe the line, particularly with the impending mid-term elections coming up. This certainly fits his MO. In the meantime, we'll have lawsuits galore as businesses try to recoup the tariff fees that were deemed unconstitutional. It's a great time to be a lawyer in America!!
I am surprised any republican wants Donald Trump to endorse him or her because they inevitably lose the election
At what point did Alito become a rubber-stamp-puppet for Donald? "Early legal career After graduating from law school, Alito clerked for Third Circuit appeals judge Leonard I. Garth in Newark, New Jersey, in 1976 and 1977.[22] He interviewed with Supreme Court Justice Byron White for a clerkship but was not hired.[24] Between 1977 and 1981, Alito was Assistant United States Attorney, District of New Jersey.[25] There, he served under the then-chief of the appeals division Assistant U.S. Attorney, Maryanne Trump Barry (Barry, the eldest sister of Donald Trump, later became a federal judge).[26]" *Wikipedia From the very beginning ... evidently. Though I cannot speak of The Honourable Maryanne Trump Barry with any knowledge. "In January 2006, Barry testified to support the appointment of fellow Third Circuit Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.[16]"
Not super balanced on this one Peter
Analysis doesn't have to be balanced to be accurate. Sometimes policy makers are wrong. Since Peter made the video, Trump did exactly what Peter anticipated: he criticized the Supreme Court and announced tarrifs under different authorization. There are factions of his party resisting him but they don't yet have e veto-proof majorities.
I will have to buy much more popcorn.
Trump just slapped 10% worldwide tariffs using Section 122 for up to 150 days after US Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed under IEEPA... and the circus continues.
This should help p*** off the Congress as he's doing things over their head again
Cool hair!
FR my man looking slick.
Is there a link to the ruling? I can't find it in the SCOTUS site.
Found a copy. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1287_4gcj.pdf
Yea go Trump
I hope you're kidding. This man is doing everything to stay out of jail.
Aaand he's just come out to say he'll ignore it! America doesn't have a president. It has a king.
Noooo America doesn’t have a Congress my friend. We have a President and he’s clearly doing what ever he wants because our Congress isn’t doing its job. WE DESPERATELY NEED A CONGRESS or we have a President who acts like a king.
what a cluster uck. did you expect anything else from this joke of a president? boy did we s hit the bed with that great pick.
He will do anything to stay out of jail. The next thing we should look forward to is martial law to stop the election.
Golden opportunity for Trump to just accept it, let things get back to normal for business to have predictable environment, Affordability gets better for midterms. But no, he's already talking more tarrifs, I have to respect that he actually is consistent with tarrif beliefs.
Consistently wrong and idiotic.
So what effect does this have to the EU-US trade deal?
The worst outcome is that Congress approves the tariffs that Trump imposed on Europe. We haven't seen the end of this yet.
Wow. Hope he doesn’t try to distract the people, with some gigantic, newsworthy event. By the way, where are all our naval assets, at the moment?
He will start a war to stay out of jail. Marshall law is his last attempt to stay in office.
I really didn't expect that from the Trump-appointed judges, so that's a nice surprise, before the chaos.
I wonder if they did this ruling, because he announced moving 10 billion dollars of our tax dollars from treasury to his own organization (that he fully controls) without any approval of Congress. I mean this is so far the most blatant way he stole our tax money.
why does the voice always turn creepy at the end of the sentence
Finally, some actual good news out of the Supreme Court.
That actually makes me worried how they plan to rule in regards to Voting Rights Act. Feels like they are throwing some meat to make it look like they are legitimate. They did that before already just to rule in trump's favor in more devastating area. Trump's #1 obsession is that he will lose Congress, and everything points to that unless they do some shenanigans.
