"By a 6-3 vote on Friday, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s regime of 'emergency' tariffs, on the grounds that (I am summarizing at a very high level here) federal law does not allow a doddering near-octogenarian to wreak havoc on the global economy by mashing out Truth Social posts from the comfort of a White House toilet seat."

"Tariffs have been political malpractice for Trump.
They were an inflection point: all CBS polls post-Liberation Day have had him at a negative net approval vs. none beforehand.
All of it for nothing. Rarely have I seen people turn against a policy as fast as they did tariffs."

"I keep seeing people say that the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs will help Trump by taking economic matches from the baby.
That's wrong.
It's almost certainly going to make his political problems worse, because the ruling shines a light on the tariffs, and he is going to use other authorities to raise people's prices."

"The ruling this Friday is the first time during Trump’s second term that the justices have struck down one of his policies. Not only that, the policy they struck down is Trump’s signature economic policy – he has used tariffs to bash, lord over and terrorize dozens of other countries and make himself the King of the Economic Jungle."
