I suppose we should be relieved that SCOTUS views Trump as an all-powerful king only 85% of the time, not quite all the time.
Kavanaugh sure doubling down on the wrong side of history in his recent judgements, isn’t he?
Finally, the Supreme Court grows a spine!
They sat on this for three months until it finally happened.
Trump has treated and found ways to make our legal system powerless. I fully expect him to ignore the law or find work arounds.
Lets see if the treasury and Customs follow the president or Supreme Court instructions
Today’s Supreme Court ruling is an overdue reminder that we are a nation of laws, not of unilateral executive edict.
For years, the tariff regime was justified under “emergency” authority in ways that stretched the statute beyond recognition. Whatever one thinks of tariffs as policy, using emergency powers to bypass Congress should concern anyone who values constitutional structure and market stability. The Court was right to say no.
From a business perspective, many of us have watched these tariffs function less as strategic leverage and more as a tax on American companies and consumers. If their removal eases supply chain costs and price pressures, that will be a welcome development for Indiana businesses.
The broader point is this: durable economic policy should come from Congress, not from improvisation under emergency statutes. Markets need predictability. The Constitution requires accountability. Both were reinforced today.
Economic policy from congress? That’s funny
Economic policy from Donald Trump? Even funnier.
So will Treasury say they no longer have the money or will Trump just ignore the decision?
I suspect that the refund process most likely will require “aggrieved” companies to file a claim the federal government that quantifies their economic “injury.” I don’t see a way that individual consumers would be able to obtain a refund, though.
Individuals being unable to get a refund … will only be the first of many instances over the next year in which individuals are unable to obtain relief from the Trump Administration. Just wait for the midterms and the rampant voter suppression and rigging we shall see by Republicans.
“You’re being hysterical!”
Been right since 2015. Would love to start being wrong. His supporters are so blind to how they’re being manipulated by the very forces that they claim led them to support Trump in the first place. It’s going to be more painful undoing the damage done by Trump than most think… and for this, we can all thank Mitch McConnell, the gravedigger of American democracy.
Glad someone finally stepped in to stop his ever continuing power grab because our representatives sure will not. Interesting this comes on the heels of a Fed report which outlines the ill affect of the tariffs on the economy, which of course this administration disputes since he is under the illusion that the costs are not passed on.
The administration “disputes” anyone or any study that disagrees with their economic, defense, and foreign policy fantasies.
The dissenters are an unsurprising list.
Thank you!!! (well, 6 of you)

This is the perfect opportunity for Congress to reassert its authority but I don’t think we should hold our breath for that.
3 of his lapdog justices who voted with the majority (including the concurrence) are going to have some explaining to do…they may well be spanked with a rolled up newspaper, or the contemporary equivalent, being smacked around by FOX and other MAGAt “journalists”.
Score one for the rule of law. Might be the only score for that side in the next few years, but one is better than none.
lol….Lap dog Justices???
Could say the same about the lefties on the Court appointed by the Dems.
There was no bigger judicial activist on the Court than Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The hero of the leftist.
Truth is, no one should be questioning the integrity of the Supreme Court Justices. They usually have a very positive working relationship. They also usually decide in unison on many cases
The Justices do not deserve the criticisms and cheap shots.
Justices Thomas and Alito brought themselves into disrepute by their own actions.
Interesting that Biden implementing Tariffs was fine but illegal under Trump. Just more partisan hypocrisy
Except the Biden Tariffs were just being maintained from the previous Trump regime.
Gregg… once again showing zero historic comprehension and a breathtaking absence of originality.
You have so much knowledge available to you and yet you still choose to post factually incorrect comments
“Yabut whatabout” is the sum total of Trumpist “logic” and argument.
So tiresome.
Tariffs are NOT taxes. Let me repeat. TARIFFS are NOT TAXES. They are nation to nation trade agreements. No, a President (unlike maniacal mayors like Mamdani) cannot create and impose taxes on American CITIZENS. That is the Constitutional domain, rightly, for Congress. A watchmaker in 🇨🇭 Switzerland does not have to offer its products to the USA market. A US CITIZEN is required to pay TAXES. The 5 dissenters in their pathetic lack of understanding missed the point (maybe on purpose). Let’s not forget that Brown was confirmed even though she couldn’t define the difference between males and females. A new car sitting on a sales lot is not a licensed, registered private vehicle….until it is, it’s only merchandise being offered for sale, no different than a lawnmower or a pair of shoes 👞 waiting for a purchase and subsequent TAXATION. It doesn’t matter if they were made in Tennessee or Timbuktu.
All Trump has to do is tell Mike Johnson and John Thune he wants tariffs via Congress or he will get rid of them. It’s not that hard. Rule of law.
Tariffs = taxes.
You might try having AI write your comments for you next time. All those words and it’s impossible to tell what point you’re trying to make
Have you even read Article I of the Constitution???
Joe B,
The problem is that Congress will not take the responsibilities or the initiative. Also the Dems snd the R’s will not work together in good faith.
In short, Congress is ineffective,
That’s why so many executive orders are now the norm.
Keith, the solution to that problem is for the people to choose better representatives, not for the executive branch to fill the void.
We The People whine about Congress and send the same people back every two years. it’s our own fault.
Michael. What new TAX will you or your preparer be filling in this year based on the tariffs?
Brad R, income taxes are not the only taxes collected by state and feds.
When the companies that import and sell things pay tax (tariffs) to the government, they add it to the price and charge customers (we the people) more. We never get a W-2 for withholding and they don’t go on our 1040s but we pay those taxes nonetheless.
Another example is the sales tax. It’s collected at the cash register and it never shows up on any W-2 or 1040, but it is still a tax.
The executive should just ignore this.
Let SCOTUS “enforce” this unenforceable mess.
trump now says the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the constitution is a “disgrace” and that their families should be ashamed of them. Think about it – a POTUS stating the highest court in the land upholding the constitution is a “disgrace”. I think we all know who the disgrace is.
