I knew this complete retard would be spouting off and making an ass of himself once again. People cheering today’s ruling that seriously have no clue. The Court did not rule against President Trump's tariffs. Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA authorities cannot be used … This administration will invoke alternative legal authorities to replace the IEEPA tariffs.”

Absolutely clueless

That is against the tariffs you twat puddle.  They were a direct result and target of this ruling. 

Do you have a fatal allergy to reality?

No doubt Trump will try and maybe even succeed in replacing the Supreme Court's ruled out IEEPA tariffs and maybe not. Presently, he lost and he is acting pretty pissed off about it. Despite this he just signed off on a temporary 10% global tariff under the Trade Act of 1974 scheduled to commence next Tuesday. I guess those interested will have to wait several days to see how this goes. Will this too end up before the Supreme Court and fail?

“Those members of the Supreme Court who voted against our very acceptable and proper method of TARIFFS should be ashamed of themselves. Their decision was ridiculous but, now the adjustment process begins, and we will do everything possible to take in even more money than we were taking in before!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

How would the Supreme Court rule against the IEEPA tariffs other than to rule that he cannot use IEEPA for tariffs? Tariffs are illegal. His circumventing congress to impose tariffs is also an issue.

Some feel otherwise:

Quote
Hours after the Supreme Court's 6-3 sabotage in Learning Resources v. Trump neutered the IEEPA tariffs, President Trump went live from the White House briefing room and executed the counterstroke the administrative state dreads most:

immediate replacement authority.

He invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974...a balance-of-payments emergency provision that lets the President slap up to 15% tariffs for 150 days without Congress...and announced a 10% across-the-board global tariff, effective immediately.

That's not a pause.

That's acceleration.

USTR Jamieson Greer confirmed on record: the administration begins reimposing equivalent or higher levies the next business day using the full statutory arsenal...Section 232 national security tariffs...already shielding steel, aluminum, autos...expanded Section 301 unfair-practice findings, and whatever else the statute books yield.

The Court pretended IEEPA's "unusual and extraordinary threat" language doesn't cover fentanyl rivers and border invasions.

Fine.

Trump simply pivots to statutes the Court explicitly left untouched or never reached.

This is constitutional warfare conducted with surgical contempt for the black-robed obstructionists.

The majority's opinion was a partisan hit job dressed in originalist cosplay...ignoring fifty years of executive practice under IEEPA while inventing limits Congress never wrote.

Thomas's dissent remains the only intellectually honest document in the whole sorry affair.

But paper rulings don't stop a President who understands that Article II isn't a suggestion.

Trump called the decision "a disgrace" on live television, promised Americans the tariffs would return stronger, and reminded the world that trade leverage isn't negotiable.

Markets spiked on the ruling, then steadied when reality hit:

the tariffs aren't gone...they're mutating into something the Court can't touch as easily.

This is what executive resolve looks like when the judiciary overreaches:

you don't whine, you don't comply...you route around the roadblock and raise the stakes.

The deep state and its judicial accomplices wanted to kneecap American leverage at the exact moment China, Mexico, and Canada are testing us.

Trump just proved they failed.

Watch the next 48 hours.

The replacements will be broader, higher, and legally bulletproof.

MAGA isn't a slogan.

It's a doctrine of unrelenting national interest.

So to the liberals celebrating:

Sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up, and watch. Things just got leveled up big time.

They didn't rule against tariffs, dipshit. They ruled against using IEEPA as a tool for implementing tariffs (which was incorrect but it is what it is). He can still use tariffs as a bargaining tool through like 4 other methods. Good Lord you're dense
