Former Vice President Mike Pence gloated over the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down President Donald Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Pence took to X on Friday after the court issued its 6-3 decision against the tariffs, calling it a “victory” for Americans.
...I'm proud of the work our organization @AmericanFreedom has done on this case through our robust amicus brief program to advance economic freedom and defend the Constitution.
With this historic decision, America can now return to the pursuit of Free Trade with Free Nations under the Constitution of the United States!...

What motivates Pence to keep up his long TDS driven attacks on Trump?
How does he benefit?
Who would support or vote for him going forward?
Jesus taught we’re in danger of hellfire if we call our “brother” a contemptuous name, so...no comment.
Pence is a pencil dick retard.
In Dante’s Inferno, traitors who betray friends or guests are described as having their souls descend immediately to Hell, while their mortal bodies continue, possessed by demons.
Given the delight Pence takes in everything anti-American since 2020, this now seems quite plausible and less fiction!
Certainly I can see Pence in the innermost layer of the Ninth circle, his head only buried in the ice in fit counterpoint to his ostrich-like unwillingness to see the obvious fraud.

I honestly think they’re telling themselves they’ll take the party back as soon as Trump leaves office.
Anything from Christie yet? No doubt he’s gloating too.
He’s a traitor, he was behind the January 6 putsch we with Pelosi, and Milley. It will be a cold day in hell before I ever give him a vote. I don’t care if he runs against AOC. Better an enemy than a traitor.
Gosh. Maybe ALL the Freepers don’t despise gay people...
Trump has lost the tariff battle but not the tariff war

The Supreme Court’s tariff decision landed about where conventional wisdom said it would: The justices ruled 6–3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act simply doesn’t give the president the sweeping authority the Trump administration claimed. That’s not a political rebuke. It’s a legal one, and a narrow one at that.
Chief Justice John Roberts put the bottom line plainly: “We hold that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.” That’s it. Not that tariffs are unconstitutional. Not that Trump’s trade agenda is illegitimate. Just that this particular statute doesn’t do the work the administration wanted it to do.
The core of the majority’s reasoning is straightforward and, frankly, hard to argue with. Article I gives Congress the power to tax, and tariffs are taxes. As Roberts explained, “The power to impose tariffs is ‘very clear[ly] . . . a branch of the taxing power.’” The administration conceded the president has no inherent authority to impose tariffs. So everything turned on whether Congress clearly delegated that power in IEEPA. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Hahahaha...truth is, I kind of enjoy that the mask has come off the traitorous POS.
Thanks, ransomnote.
People are running around screaming with their arms in the air, both on and off this forum.
It is embarrassing.
Excellent!
Isn’t this pathetic tool a traitor???
Many people judge others as individuals and not as a part of a group...until that person signals that the “Group” and its advancement is more important to them than their status as an individual.
I am one of those people.
It is sad. But then again, as Eddie Murphy once said...”You brought this s**t on yourself!”
What a pathetic, sniveling little empty suit he has turned out to be.
Mike Pence, corn shuckin’ and cousin f——n’
how can this decision not be 9-0 either way??...makes no sense. What are 3 seeing that the other 6 are not seeing??
just when you think pence couldn’t go any lower- he goes and proves ya wrong- criminy- he’s almost as bad a liz cheney!
