The Supreme Court on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s use of an emergency law to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs on most U.S. trading partners, delivering a blow to the president in a case centered on one of his signature economic policies — one he characterized as "life or death" for the U.S. economy.
In a 6-3 decision, the justices invalidated Trump's tariffs.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in November in the case, which centered on Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to enact his "Liberation Day" tariffs on most countries, including a 10% global tariff and a set of higher, so-called "reciprocal" tariffs on certain nations.

Yadda yadda yadda. Talk to the hand, because the ears aren't listening.
The Constitution clearly reserves the right to set taxes to Congress.
I was never favorable to the ham fisted way Trump rolled out tariffs and his wormy chart that was a misrepresentation of the facts. Once done though and agreements were made this undoing is much much worse. No way to run a country when the administration can’t even make international trade agreements!
There is a work around, and its already to go.
Exactly. Whether they are good policy or not is irrelevant to the issue of whether the President could impose those tariffs unilaterally.
That’s a bunch of propaganda lies. Costs were not nor are not going up. Inflation coming down wages increasing faster than inflation, energy prices way down, many food items like eggs way down. The US is going to get what it deserves. I doubt if there are many patriots willing to change the fall of America. Welcome to very soon democrat slavery

SCOTUS only considered tariffs issued under the IEEPA & struck those down.
President Trump primarily relied on IEEPA for sanctions & emergency-based restrictions. Numerous major tariffs were imposed under standard trade statutes, not emergency powers, so many remain in effect.

Please elucidate.
Congress did not object…were constantly aware and apparently in agreement with them
"Trump Sweeping Tariff Agenda Destroyed! No More Kings" to...
"Trump Signature Tariff Agenda Suffers Major Setback!" to...
"Trump Tariff Effort Stymied but There Could be Other Paths." to...
"Trump Finds a Way to Work Around Supreme Court Ruling Forbidding Him From Imposing Unjust Tariffs!" to...
"Why Trump's Tariffs are Bad for America and the World!"...
and the whole cycle starts over again.
Put some tariffs on the Supreme Court ,LOL
“China owes him”.
Owes him...or owns him?

Based on the Feb 20, 2026 SCOTUS ruling:
Struck down (under IEEPA): 10% baseline on most imports; up to 145% on China (later reduced); 25% on Canada/Mexico; 35% increase on certain Canadian goods.
Remaining (under standard statutes like Section 232/301): 25% on steel, 10% on aluminum from various countries; up to 25% on many Chinese goods; other trade act tariffs not tied to emergencies.

No, more like the President doesn't have unlimited authority over the economy and immigration.
He's won the majority of the immigration cases, as well as a majority of the cases regarding the scope of Presidential appointment powers.
This court actually cares about separation of powers. It has slapped down things like the Chevron doctrine and Humphrey's Executor because they were improper attempts by Congress to expand its power, and they just did the same to the President on this issue of tariffs.
Other options would be to have more rigorous customs inspections on imported goods, where there are increased delays on those goods because of the inspections, and charge the importers for the inspections.
This technique has several advantages:
- for perishable items, including pharmaceuticals, this eats away at the shelf life making them more expensive to import
- goods would have to be warehoused for extended periods of time, which adds warehouse costs and also adds delays (time is money) until the goods can be inspected, and approved for entry
Just as Robert’s told Dems that they can impose a Tax with Obamacare, it’s the wording . Nothing wrong with tariffs. It’s now the wording.

🚨 JUST IN: Legal expert Jonathan Turley confirms Trump has a MASSIVE TOOLBOX of additional tariff options, the 6-3 SCOTUS ruling is NOT the end of the road
“The admin has other tools...it can impose tariffs under other statutes.”
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

A Supreme Court decision?
President Trump is going to have to claw back the money from Walz and his Somalis stolen from the taxpayers to pay this back to the Supreme Court’s foreign pals in China. The Canadians are laughing with the DemonRATS at America this morning.
