The Supreme Court Just Issued Their Ruling on President Trump's Tariffs

After weeks of waiting, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration in a decision addressing whether President Trump had authority to impose sweeping tariffs without congressional approval.

At the heart of the issue was whether President Trump had such authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law that allows presidents to take economic actions during a national emergency and to impose broad tariffs without Congress passing tariff laws.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by imposing broad tariffs without congressional approval, placing new limits on the executive branch’s ability to use tariffs as a unilateral economic tool.


I hope Trump has a plan B for getting countries to work with him and for getting corporations to return manufacturing to the USA.
 

Law Professor's Take on the SCOTUS Decision on Tariffs Will Likely Not Please the Libs​

Earlier today, Amy shared that the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's tariffs. Yet, have no fear; George Washington University Law School professor and legal scholar Jonathan Turley said this isn’t over. The administration can still impose tariffs through other statutes.

“The administration has other tools in its toolbox. It can actually impose tariffs under other statutes,” he said. Turley also said there’s plenty of runway for the Trump White House in this area of economic policy.
