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.

    So let me get this straight, the companies that raised their prices based on Trump’s tariffs get to apply for a refund with no requirement to lower prices and pass that refund on to the consumers who actually had to pony up the money at the ‘cash register’ every day. Once again, corporations get an undeserved bailout while the American consumer gets shafted. Typical.

      …and those refunds will flow through Howard Lutnick (and son’s) business.

      Just more crime. When will Americans stop bending over and taking it from these criminals?

    So the only thing they rule against Trump on is the issue with almost zero human rights consequences. Everything else that is immediately endangering and killing people, no worries!

    As if that’ll stop the orange nonce.

    While him and his enablers suffer no consequences then he is defacto above the law

    “They have made their ruling, now let us see them enforce it.”

    Now several companies will sue my government for damages.

    yaaaaay

    At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff.

    Lol, the US is a clown show.

    So the Supreme Court finally found out what we all already knew?

    But a few of them clearly still haven’t gotten the memo?

    I mean I’m trying to be happy about this news, but it’s kind of just more proof how pathetic and corrupt our SC is.

    The Supreme Court sided with business over the US government. No surprise there. According to the law this whole action was illegal. I am surprised it was not unanimous and had three dissenters.

    Where in the fuck do companies get off thinking the tariffs, paid by consumer, is going to be refunded to them!?

    He ignored the court ruling, keeps all the tariffs in place AND he raises them 10% just because the supreme court made him angry.

    Think about how batshit crazy that is.

    Also, funny some of you think they will refund the money. That won’t happen because they will refuse to do it. Very simple for the EPSTIEN administration to just refuse legal orders. He’s immune by the same supreme court.

    It doesn’t matter. Remember all those times when Trump & Co set a tariff percentage, then lowered it a few weeks later? I wonder why? Maybe somebody made a “donation” to his bitcoin account. He got what he wanted.
