Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s one-man tariff war
In anticipation of the high court’s ruling, big-name companies like Costco, Revlon and Bumble Bee Foods filed lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade to secure tariff refunds for billions of dollars.

This is good news.
Unfortunately this type of decision is usually followed by another travesty of handing Trump more power. We have six authoritarians on the Supreme Court, so we can expect more unchecked authoritarianism.
We note that two of the three Trump appointees voted with the majority -Barrett and Gorsuch. Flip Wilson always said 'the Devil made me do it' and the Supreme Leader always says 'It is all Biden's fault'.
The decision relative to tariffs rightfully rests with Congress. The body controlling the purse strings. If the Doddering Imbecile Trump would have placed it in the hands of the representatives of the People and it passed the hurdles of debate and rational thought perhaps the scotus would have ruled differently were there challenges.
Tariffs are simply a tax on American consumers because businesses, only interested in profits, simply pass on the increased costs to the consumer of goods.
The Imbecile Trump must have bought whatever degree or certificate he received at Wharton School of Business.
Off topic but it really is time to pass 12 year term limits on Justices of the Supreme Court.
Trump will simple keep pushing the envelope. In his floating boat of ignorance he is unable to accept ANY defeat.
BB-Idaho, Dave Dubya, Les, I just read former editor of the Chicago Tribune, Mark Jacob’s, report tha Trump said in his statement about the SCOTUS’s decision, that the justices’ FAMILIES should be ashamed! What do the FAMILIES of the justices who ruled against his tariffs have to do with this? He sounds like he’s threatening them,just like a mob boss.
His crazy MAGAs will grab onto that and do something dangerous
Trump is a disgusting idiot.
“It is clear from the president’s defiant news conference just now that a ruling from the highest court in the land will not stop him from trying to implement a tariff policy that he has been talking about since the 1980s. At multiple points, he clung to what he believes to be a loophole in Justice Kavanaugh’s dissenting opinion, and his belief that he can still do what he wants, without authorization from Congress or a green light from the courts.” — NYTimes
Like a mob boss, he thinks even the highest court in the land can be ignored.
What did America expect when it voted to have a convicted felon as its leader?
Tariffs are designed to level the playing field between countries to protect workers not increase countries revenues. Charge the same tariffs to a country as they charge us. Granted high tariffs are good for American Businesses and workers but not for consumers.
I think besides charging the same tariffs as we are charged we need to get rid of taxing businesses and go to a fair/flat tax for income. Now you have the mayor of NYC saying he is going to raise property taxes but no mention of reduced spending.
As to trump insulting the members and families of SCOTUS, par for the course because that is what he always does and that won't change. Congress is the one who got us into this mess of mindless spending for decades and they don't have the brains or will to make the country require a balanced budget.
“Trump Calls Justices Who Ruled Against Him ‘Fools and Lap Dogs”
Trump is an embarrassing jackass. This country has never had such a disgraceful leader, and we’ve had some pretty bad ones. I can’t imagine anyone supporting this disaster of a human being, unless they’re as awful as he is.
And yet millions of uninformed and clueless people continue to stand behind the worst American president in our history, one of, if not the most corrupt politician in our history, and quite possibly one of the most indecent and uncaring humans ever to occupy an elected office in modern history.
Trump is a slug and slime. If this nation was truly what it has been considered to be over the years by much of the world the slime would have been impeached, found guilty, and removed from office.
And -H- called conservatives deplorable, the swell guy accused small business owners of not starting their companies and joey b said blacks ain't black if they vote republican. Where is the outrage over those statements?
A lot of the government changes trump has made are for the good of the country but the way he did it was unacceptable. Deporting a few of the millions of illegals allowed in by joey b is a good thing but the storm trooper tactic is over the top. Dismantlement of DoE was a good thing but should have been thought out and implemented better. HHS action against vaccines should have followed medical guidelines but altering food additives is good for everyone. Tariffs are fair i they are equal but threatening 140% tariff on a country is stupid.
We still haven't made any progress toward government waste and corruption and won't until every building in the country is named trump. He is not just narcissistic he has run away narcissism.
