Why Trump is wrong to call justices an ’embarrassment’ after tariff ruling

They are “fools”!

they “Little dogs!”

They are “traitors”!

They should feel “ashamed” and “embarrassed to their families”!

Supreme Court blocks Trump’s tariffs in a key test of the executive branch’s powers

They succumb to pressure from “mudballs”!

And they are not only “radical” democrats, but “RENO” as well!

I’ve almost never seen one Donald Trump And just as angry as he was after the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs as illegal.

As he read from his notes, the anger was barely controllable. When he kept going off script, it was dripping with contempt.

Trump reveals his new champion on the Supreme Court after the tariffs decision

As for the actions of Republicans in name only, what is astonishing is that the 6-3 ruling was supported by two of his appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Comey Barrett.

They joined the majority opinion delivered by Chief Justice John Roberts, a consensus builder with whom the president has disagreed in the past.

Gorsuch and Barrett did exactly what we say we want judges to do – which is to consider the evidence and use their best judgment in interpretation. Constitution.

Why then would Trump, who preferred to cite Brett Kavanaugh’s opposition, attack two conservatives in such personal terms? Do they consider themselves disloyal to the legal process when they say he does not have the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on countries around the world — or on him personally?

By the way, who are these unnamed skinny balls, and how do they have so much influence?

During the question-and-answer session, Trump was asked why he doesn’t just work with Congress.

“You don’t have to,” he said.

But that was the central point of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which was that Trump needed congressional approval before imposing a tariff storm.

Many conservatives who were not big fans of tariffs have publicly expressed relief that the Supreme Court has taken this weapon of raw power out of Trump’s hands.

The president has had a long string of victories with this court, which, among other things, expanded his immunity for nearly all actions in office. I guess they weren’t young dogs back then. But Friday’s ruling made clear that even the conservative court has its limits.

Don’t take my word for it. Conservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal He says Trump owes an apology “To the judges who distorted” and “the institution itself.” He certainly won’t offer one, but his rants in response to his tariff defeat in court were arguably the worst moment of his presidency.

From the left, Maureen Dowd said The New York Times reported that Trump had a “hissing fit” after the court, which had been “acting subservient to a megalomaniac in the White House, suddenly found a backbone.”

There are even reports that he cursed the courts that day.

Trump said he would use a different law to impose a 10 percent global tariff, which he raised by the end of the week to 15 percent. This can only last for five months. But more importantly, it’s a modest tax compared to the tough tariffs the president has been imposing or threatening to impose on various countries, allies or not, as part of his trade war, or simply because he had a tense call with a foreign leader.

J.D. Vance accused the Supreme Court of “lawlessness.” Sorry, Mr. Vice President, it’s fine to tear up the ruling, but the court’s job is to interpret the law as it applies to the other two branches.

In an online attack targeting Gorsuch and Barrett, Trump wrote: “They are voting against Republicans“And never against themselves, almost every time, no matter how good a case we have.” However, Barrett voted with the majority in granting presidents sweeping immunity, although she said the court’s decision went too far in this case.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick criticized “misplaced schadenfreude by Democrats, an ill-informed media, and the same people who have destroyed our industrial base. The court did not rule against President Trump’s tariffs. Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA’s powers cannot be used to collect even a dollar in revenue.” (IEEPA is an emergency law of 1977).

Well…the court ruled against the definitions. Court reporters in the media are hardly “uninformed”; they are specialists and, in some cases, lawyers. Additionally, Chief Lutnick blames Republicans.

At the press conference, Trump asked a rather stupid question from a reporter: Are the justices still invited to Tuesday’s session? State of the Union?

“Barely,” Trump said. What is this, middle school? Maybe they can’t sit at the wonderful children’s table? The president said he didn’t care if they showed up, nor did anyone else.

Trump was right when he said this matter would be argued in court for two years, although it would likely be much longer than that. Are companies that paid $175 billion in tariffs now entitled to a refund? Who knows?

We are looking at the potential for economic disruptions. It is, to say the least, a blow to Trump’s agenda. He does not like to be told that he cannot do something. For all his rhetoric, Trump warned that a loss in the Supreme Court would be devastating — and now we’ll find out what that looks like.

Maybe he wants to get back to talking about UFOs?
