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.

      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.

    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?

      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.

    At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff.

    Lol, the US is a clown show.

      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.

    “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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!?
