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.
So they are going to pay it back right?……….Right?
Yeah of course, now the big importing companies get billions of dollars… oh you meant to the consumer, tough luck.
A trump never pays his debts
The cheque is in the mail.
To some corporations I’m sure. Not to the consumers that actually paid the cost of them. A lot of corporations bought surplus before tariffs went into effect. Then they raised prices as if the Tariffs were affecting them instantly. Now some will surely get pay backs and double dip in the profits.
This has been and always will be a tax on the consumer and the working class. It is nothing but capital consolidation methods and class warfare. Those loyal to Trump get exclusions and profit from the Tariffs. Those that do not are hurt (all small business and some larger corps that don’t play ball).
It is a means of solidifying loyalty to the fascist state.
Pay who back? All the citizens this administration fleeced?
If corporations are paid back they aren’t going to give refunds to all of their costumers they directly forwarded these costs to.
We all got fucked. Trump fucked us, as well as his own supporters.
At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff.
Lol, the US is a clown show.
Not a serious country. Just a pedo haven for reality tv stars.
Another illegal {insert thing here}?
Oh, wow, is it time to arrest and charge?
Or, will you do nothing just like the 7456 times the fat cunt broke your laws in the last year and you did fuck all?An illegal executive order isn’t a crime, it just doesn’t count.
I’m not sure something like this would ever have resulted in an arrest? Even in other countries?
An impeachment and conviction and removal from office though should be in the cards, but obviously won’t be.
I’m shocked! SHOCKED I tell you!
I am. Sincerely, I’m shocked. This is quite the surprise.
It’s not the 6-3 ruling I expected at all. Was fully thinking would be 6-3 that it was okay for him to do it not saying he can’t
I mean it’s such an incredibly unambiguous 9-0 on a legal basis and he still got three nonetheless.
It’s not like this court is known for actually following legal basis or the constitution so 3 against not at all surprise
Same here, they enable everything else he’s done.
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.
It’s a good thing first and foremost because tariffs have been Trump’s #1 tool to bully other nations into bending to his will.
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.
“They have made their ruling, now let us see them enforce it.”
Now several companies will sue my government for damages.
yaaaaay
Whoa.
Well, I bet my pants that Justice Clarence Thomas is a dissenting opinion. Does it say in the article?
There’s only one way to find out: ask people what’s in the article.
Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch joined with Roberts and the three liberal justices in the majority. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
I just wanted to guess before I read it.
It’s always the ones you most suspect. You could probably be closely aligned with the constitution without knowing a single thing about the law by just always taking the opposite position from whatever Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh take.
I can’t remember what it was about, but I think Kavanaugh was actually on the correct side of a non-unanimous ruling maybe once.
Literally zero times for the other two, of course.
A few of them made an effort to keep up appearances during early rulings, but then they realized that democracy was falling so they went whole-hog with empowering fascism, and now we’re approaching what looks like a brutal mid-term sweep so the judges are backing off again from overt capitulation… we sure wouldn’t want the new house and senate to introduce bills to reform Supreme Court, right?
Thomas, Alito, and Kavanagh were the dissenters.
Yep.
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.
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.
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.
An actual useful court should’ve made this ruling on day 1
As if that’ll stop the orange nonce.
While him and his enablers suffer no consequences then he is defacto above the law

He came back with another one.

Good, but prices continue to rise every time the orange dumbfuck yaps about tariffs.
