The decision does not affect all of Trump’s tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.
Delivering a major blow to President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that he exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency.
The justices, divided 6-3 held that Trump’s aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
We paid the tariffs and now companies can sue to double their profits. Capitalism!
And guess who is gonna pay those settlements? Yes, the tax payers.
His own arguments about the tariffs outside of the court defeated his lawyers case completely. Orang turd should learn to keep his mouth shut now that the SC has turned on him and a growing number of Republicans are turning away even the ones not retiring.
Dumbfuck has always been a narcissist with no clue when to shut the fuck up the moment he has a position of power over others.
His obvious dementia makes it worse than ever. When the big beautiful day finally comes, we might end up in more danger. Vance isn’t as stupid as Trump is.
And the stock market did rejoice. This is all a ball and shell game for us when they know where the ball is.

Sweet! Under that condition, the Trump-Epstein files matter again!
Yeah, I had the same thought after seeing how the DJIA reacted. A small number of people are going to make a nice bit of money from this. I wonder who. 🤔
I bet he reinstitutes them under the BISSo doctrine (Because I Said So). Why not? He routinely ignores the courts

I believe I speak for most Americans: Fuck you and your tariffs, you fucking fuck!
Tariffs are highly unpopular. They are actually doing him a favor.
Inasmuch as Delicate Feelings Donnie immediately hit back with calling the majority justices “fools and dogs” and swearing he was going to find another way to do it regardless, it’s clear he personally sees it as a major blow.
But yes, overall, in terms of popularity they removed another rotting albatross from around his neck, unfortunately.
This was my thought as well. Perhaps the best way to step back from tariffs without looking like chickening out, and about the right time for campaign season to ramp up.
If his admin has any sense of strategy, they’ll take the out and then brag about price reductions in summer.
My belief has been they had to totally screw up 2025 to make people feel like 2026 would be getting better. I anticipate too many folks will just see year to year improvement and not reflect on why 2025 was a particularly rough year.
Well that’s a little bit of progress
