5 days agoCourt Rules Yet Again That Trump's Tariffs Are Illegal
A federal trade court ruled Trump’s 10% global import tariffs unlawful, limiting immediate collections while the administration is expected to appeal.
When the Supreme Court hears arguments next week on President Donald Trump's tariffs, prepare for crossed wires. Liberals who typically oppose Trump's economic policies will espouse traditionally conservative legal principles. Conservatives who prioritize doctrine over Trumpism will agree with those liberals, forming an unlikely alliance. And those who reflexively support anything Trump does, for the pure Trump of it all, will twist themselves into pretzels to justify the president's unbounded executive-power grab.
