It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term.

@mastodonmigration @Nonilex There will be an angle. perhaps the money will go to his charity. Or perhaps now he can really send us all checks! with his name on them.

#Trump has been very vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in #US #history & saying a ruling against him would be an economic body blow to the country. But #legal opposition crossed the political spectrum, including #libertarian & pro-#business groups that are typically aligned with the #GOP. Polling has found tariffs are NOT broadly popular with the public, amid wider voter concern about #affordability.

The #SCOTUS ruling comes despite a series of short-term wins on the court’s “emergency docket” that have allowed #Trump to push ahead with extraordinary flexes of #ExecutivePower on issues ranging from high-profile #firings to major federal #funding cuts.

The #tariffs decision doesn’t stop #Trump from imposing duties under other #laws. While those have more limitations on the speed & severity of Trump’s actions, top admin ofcls have said they expect to keep the tariff framework in place under “other authorities”.

The #Constitution gives #Congress the #power to levy #tariffs. But the #Trump administration argued that a 1977 #law allowing the president to regulate importation during “emergencies” also allows him to set tariffs. Other presidents have used the law dozens of times to impose #sanctions, but Trump was the first president to invoke it for #import #taxes.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/politics/supreme-court-tariffs?cid=ios_app@Nonilex I'm 100% sure that he will try to get the bootlickers in Congress to legislate them. I pity the lawmaker than signs on though, they would face some serious voter ire.

#Trump set what he called “reciprocal” #tariffs on most countries in April 2025 to address #trade #deficits that he declared a “national emergency”. Those came after he imposed extra #duties on #Canada, #China & #Mexico, ostensibly to address a “drug trafficking” “emergency”.
A series of lawsuits followed, including a case from a dozen largely Democratic-leaning #states & others from small #businesses selling everything from plumbing supplies to educational toys to women’s cycling apparel. -

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/politics/supreme-court-tariffs?cid=ios_app@Nonilex But there have been so many things he has done that's illegal and like this it was pointed out, but.... nothing was done about it so what does pointing it out really achieve when all is said and done, especially as nobody seems to have the fight or the wealth to go toe to toe.

The economic impact of Trump’s tariffs has been estimated at some $3 trillion over the next decade, acc/to the #CBO.

#Treasury has collected >$133 billion from the #import #taxes #Trump imposed under the emergency powers law, federal data from December says. Many companies, including the big-box warehouse chain Costco, have already lined up in court to demand #refunds.
