Perhaps in an attempt to sway "his" judges, he got this fool on camera yesterday...
Sadly for him, it didn't work.
Will he blast John Roberts for this decision? He famously thanked Roberts for the decision that allows him to do most anything he wants, law be damned. Can't wait to hear what he has to say now.The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.
[...]
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion and the court agreed 6-3 that the tariffs exceeded the law.
[...]
“The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, and scope,” Roberts wrote for the court. “In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it.”
[...]
“When Congress grants the power to impose tariffs, it does so clearly and with careful constraints,” Roberts wrote. “It did neither here.”
[...]
The emergency authority Trump attempted to rely on, the court said, “falls short.”

And, what personal reason is there for Roberts, Barrett, and Gorsuch to rule this way? Because I am no longer able to believe they ever do anything that doesn't suit their personal desires.Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch joined with Roberts and the three liberal justices in the majority. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
Nothing has been mentioned about what will happen to the already imposed and paid for unconstitutional tariffs.
Also, the ruling on voting rights might put Roberts back in Trump's good graces.
Also...WTF?
UPDATE 10:35 am:
She mentions Trump's use of tariffs to "punish" other countries, but actually, that wasn't working so well. Canada and Europe have been discussing forming a trading group that leaves out the US. Eventually, Trump was going to bury the US on the world market.
UPDATE 08:56 pm:
"Cut the check, Donald."
He has "a feeling". He knows damn well they won't.
