‘A Win for the Separation of Powers’: Some Republicans Celebrate Supreme Court Ruling Against Trump’s Tariffs

Several notable Republicans celebrated the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday that struck down President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs, saying that the decision defended Congress’s constitutional authority.
The decision immediately overturns the sweeping tariffs that Trump enacted last year on most imports. The six-Justice majority ruled that the President didn’t have the authority to implement such tariffs by claiming a national emergency. Trump blasted the decision on Truth Social, calling it “deeply disappointing” and saying that he was “ashamed of certain Members of the Court for not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country.” In a press briefing later Friday, the President personally attacked conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, who he nominated during his first term, after they jointed the majority, calling them “a disgrace to our nation” and “an embarrassment to their families.”
