The decision does not affect all of Trump’s tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

Delivering a major blow to President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that he exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency.

The justices, divided 6-3 held that Trump’s aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

    LOL SCOTUS will be seated feet from him in the front row. That being said I’d wager he’ll invade Iran after US markets close today.

    Edit: possibly at this 12:45 Press Conference he just announced.
