Updated on
ai generated text

The Supreme Court reviewed the legality of President Trump’s global tariffs, with a majority of justices—both liberal‑leaning and conservative—raising doubts about the president’s authority to impose those duties.

1 / 2
  1. US
    Donald Trump
    Republican Party
    1. My tariffs are bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars.
  2. US
    Sonia Sotomayor
    US Supreme Court
    1. You want to say tariffs are not taxes, but that's exactly what they are.
    2. It's a congressional power, not a presidential power, to tax.
    3. Didn't we, in the Biden case, recently say an emergency can't make clear what's ambiguous?
    4. We have never applied it to foreign affairs, but this is a tariff. This is a tax.
  3. US
    Amy Coney Barrett
    US Supreme Court
    1. Spain? France? I mean, I could see it with some countries, but explain to me why as many countries needed to be subject to the reciprocal tariff policy.
    2. Can you point to any other place in the code – or any other time in history – where that phrase, together, 'regulate importation' has been used to confer tariff imposing authority.
  4. US
    Brett Kavanaugh
    US Supreme Court
    1. What's the significance of the Nixon example and precedent here? Because I think figuring that out is really important to deciding this case correctly.
    2. President Nixon announced those tariffs in a nationwide prime-time speech, 10% across the board in August 1971, it was not some kind of little piece of paper, so it was well known.
  5. US
    John Roberts
    US Supreme Court
    1. The justification is being used for a power to impose tariffs on any product, from any country, in any amount, for any length of time. I'm not suggesting it's not there, but it does seem like that's major authority, and the basis for that claim seems to be a misfit. So why doesn't it apply?
    2. But ultimately … we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will rule on the right side of the law and do what's right for our country. The importance of this case cannot be overstated. The president must have the emergency authority to utilize tariffs.
  6. US
    Ketanji Brown Jackson
    US Supreme Court
    1. So it seems a little inconsistent to say that we have to interpret a statute that was designed to constrain presidential authority consistent with an understanding that Congress wanted the president to have essentially unlimited authority.
  7. US
    Neil Gorsuch
    US Supreme Court
    1. What would prohibit Congress from just abdicating all responsibility to regulate foreign commerce – or for that matter, declare war – to the president?
    2. It's a one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people's elected representatives.
  8. US
    Kush Desai
    White House
    1. We look forward to ultimate victory on this matter with the Supreme Court.
