The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.

      Why? Lutnick’s kid had a financial benefit in the tariffs getting overturned. The Epstein class helps each other

    I mean, as much of a fucking mess this is going to cause, and as much as they should have said this a year ago, this is still very good news as far as I am concerned. Bare minimum, all the tarriffs currently in place by Trump are canceled going forward and it’s going to be a while before anything analogous can be put back into place.

      If this was the fastest they could rule an executive action unconstitutional, it’s proof they need to adjust the process so they can do it faster.

      Not that I think this Supreme Court is acting in good faith.

    It doesn’t matter. Remember all those times when Trump & Co set a tariff percentage, then lowered it a few weeks later? I wonder why? Maybe somebody made a “donation” to his bitcoin account. He got what he wanted.

    Whoa.

    Well, I bet my pants that Justice Clarence Thomas is a dissenting opinion. Does it say in the article?

    So the Supreme Court finally found out what we all already knew?

    But a few of them clearly still haven’t gotten the memo?

    I mean I’m trying to be happy about this news, but it’s kind of just more proof how pathetic and corrupt our SC is.

    Ooh boy, refunds! Yay!

    We should make sure to refund all the corporations and businesses - by court order! If we do that, surely it will trickle down this time.

    The Supreme Court sided with business over the US government. No surprise there. According to the law this whole action was illegal. I am surprised it was not unanimous and had three dissenters.

    Where in the fuck do companies get off thinking the tariffs, paid by consumer, is going to be refunded to them!?

    As if that’ll stop the orange nonce.

    While him and his enablers suffer no consequences then he is defacto above the law

    He ignored the court ruling, keeps all the tariffs in place AND he raises them 10% just because the supreme court made him angry.

    Think about how batshit crazy that is.

    Also, funny some of you think they will refund the money. That won’t happen because they will refuse to do it. Very simple for the EPSTIEN administration to just refuse legal orders. He’s immune by the same supreme court.

    It’s especially unsurprising that OAN (my bellwether for batshit crazy conservative stuff) aren’t even reporting on this.

    These people live in an entirely different universe of ignorance.
