Supremes: Most Trump Tariffs Illegal

Friday, February 20, 2026

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.

Posted by lee_the_agent at 10:54 AM | 183 COMMENTS | permalink

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).

The ruling was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, who was joined by three liberal justices and two fellow conservatives, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, in the majority.

Comments

A victory for the plain language of the US Constitution.
A disgrace for Traitorous Thomas, Asshat Alito, and Kavanaugh.

Now the government pays back businesses who will not refund the consumer who actually paid the tariff.
Yet another government payout to businesses at the cost to the people. Maybe was the plan all along.

They might have mentioned this sooner... before it cost the public 100's of millions of dollars.

I'm pretty sure that Jeffy Turley will be along soon to tell us how the minority rwing Justices were right.

And the consumers who paid those companies for the products will see none of it. Trump's illegal decree is turning out to be a huge boost to his biggest donors.

Trump will have his tariffs despite, amusingly enough, getting rid of them might help his midterm chances.

Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito are in the Evangelical pedofascist contingency of SCOTUS.

Thomas is alleged to have spent time at Epstein parties, and Kavanaugh was given the rapist pass ... so that tracks. I bet Alito drank infant blood in a Satanic ritual at this point.

In regard specifically to Justice Roberts---

The man is at least frightened for himself and his place in current life and American history.

He's trying to stuff that bugger Trump back up the societal nose.

Oh, he's years too late. Now Trump wants his head and may have the power to get it. Now he's already viewed as the worst Supreme Court Justice in History.

I have no pity for the man. Stupidity is a capital offense, as is venal arrogance.

World trade is already being rerouted to bypass the US.

China's overall exports are up recently, even though China exports to the US are down.

Canada and the EU are making trade deals that bypass the US.

Even though Pres Trump's emergency tariffs have been shot down, the results of them are going to be long-lasting.

Just another example of Pres Trump's highly-touted short-term tactical moves with negative long-term consequences.

Re 21

Sometimes when you start a ridiculous and unnecessary trade war you lose.

When you create conditions where if you win someone has to lose then it's always possible that the loser is gonna be you.

When you create win-win conditions then the rising tide does raise more ships. (Though it still helps to actually afford to have a ship!)

I feel bad for the Ketchup Wall today. (And anyone else who gets in Grumpy Trumpy's way today.)

Looks like someone is about to "go through some things".

#35 | Posted by JOE at 2026-02-20 12:50 PM

I see Kavanaugh is getting a lot of (well-deserved) heat for his argument that it would be too messy and complicated to unwind and reverse the illegal tariffs.

It reminds me of the arguments that some people make that actual Marriage Equality would be too complicated if it were extended to traditional Mormons and Muslims and others who practice marriages that aren't considered "normal", even though technically they would fall under the exact same logic as when interracial and gay marriage bans were deemed unconstitutional.

#36 | Posted by sentinel at 2026-02-20 12:51 PM

I was rather surprised by Kavanaugh's position on this, especially since he's ruled against Trump in other cases IIRC. He is quite unpredictable.

#2 | POSTED BY CENSORED: No he will not - you must be confusing hi with biden and his attempt to get aroune th SCOTUS ruling concerning 'forgiving' student loans.

There is a Plan B, for President Trump, which can be effective and requires no congressional approval:

"Here's the thing the trade establishment doesn't want to think about: IEEPA doesn't just let the president regulate imports. It lets him prohibit them. And it lets him issue licenses as exceptions to that prohibition. Those aren't implied powers or creative readings. They're right there in the text of the law: the president may "prevent or prohibit" importation and may act "by means of instructions, licenses, or otherwise."

That language points to a mechanism that could reshape the global trade landscape even if every tariff the administration has imposed gets struck down."

CALIFORNIA, USA " California Governor Gavin Newsom has called for American families and businesses to be issued full refunds, following the Supreme Court decision to strike down President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff policy.

Trump told a news conference he's "absolutely ashamed" of justices who voted to strike down his tariffs, calling the decision "deeply disappointing."

"Their decision is incorrect," he said. "But it doesn't matter because we have very powerful alternatives." He did not immediately specify them.

The president also announced during the briefing that his administration would now add a 10% global tariff over and above current tariffs. He said he would sign an executive order imposing the new tariffs after the press conference."

OK, ya'll aren't going to want to hear it, but I've always thought the irony was delicious.

In the story of the AC (whom DJT closely resembles in every way), there is a Covenant of Many; a peace agreement between Israel and many of her neighbors... a 7 year deal.

Half-way through, the leader of the world's most powerful military, who made the deal, breaks it by attacking... wait for it... Israel.

Now, who else would do that? Then he enters the newly built 3rd Temple (possibly complete with Trump Temple and Casino sign!) and claims to be God.

This immediately pisses off actual God, and all hell breaks loose. Literally.

Then Earth and Heaven are united as a Planet of Eden (not just a Garden), and it takes Yeshua his own self 1,000 years to teach us how to govern ourselves... so that was never going to be easy anyway.

So, a New Beginning.

Tariff Ruling Kicks Off Fight Over $170 Billion in Refunds
finance.yahoo.com

... Thousands of companies and importers are set to launch what could be a prolonged battle to try to recoup as much as $170 billion in tariffs they've already paid to the US government after the Supreme Court struck down a key tool in President Donald Trump trade policy.

The top court was silent on the topic of refunds when it ruled Friday that Trump didn't have legal authority to impose the duties under an emergency law.

"They take months and months to write an opinion, and they don't even discuss that," Trump said in a news conference after the ruling. "We'll end up being in court the next five years."

The US president said he is planning to immediately impose a fresh 10% global tariff under a different provision. But that won't stop the flood of lawsuits by companies seeking refunds. ...

"White House to seek alternative' tariff moves after Supreme Court ruling, Bessent says

"Let's be clear about what today's ruling was and what it wasn't," the administration's top finance official said in prepared remarks.

"Despite the misplaced gloating from Democrats, ill-informed media outlets and the very people who gutted our industrial base, the court did not rule against President Trump's tariffs.

Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA authorities cannot be used to raise even $1 of revenue," Bessent added."

"A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," says the president

There are, of course, a few problems here.

If and when SCOTUS overturns Trump's use of tariffs, the federal government will have to refund that $200,000,000,000.00 to corporations.

Not to those of us who had to spend more because of the tariffs.

Nope. That $200,000,000,000.00 will go to the corporations who imported goods and paid the tariffs.

So, you and I paid more for goods over the past whatever months to corporations who paid the federal government the tariffs.

So, when tariffs are refunded, they go back to the corporations, right?

And, will the corporations be sending checks to you and I, because that would be the right thing to do?

LOL

Just more transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy.

Almost like it was planned.

And then there's THIS problem:

"A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," the Trump.

OK, some simple math here

US Population: 342,000,000

US population minus the 10-15% or so ~high-income~ folk: 300,000,000

So, okay, let's go ...

300,000,000 people times $2,000.00 per person is $600,000,000,000.00

Tariff collection so far in 2025 has been around $200,000,000,000.00

But we've already determined that that $200,000,000,000.00 was going to go to corporations, right?

So, where will the $600,000,000,000.00 come from?

Is this not a time to celebrate the fact that two conservatives voted for this? That not all conservatives are in the back pocket of Trump? I mean, I've read numerous comments predicting the doom and gloom of the Supreme Court since Trump got in charge of ---. Sure, not all the conservatives voted for this, but c'mon y'all...this IS a huge deal and maybe should give a bit of hope and damnit...can't anyone acknowledge that there are conservatives AND liberals who together do the right thing?

Good Lord...maybe I missed it, but I didn't even see anyone here acknowledge last December when BOTH parties AND Trump did the right thing when a bill was UNANIMOUSY PASSED and signed by TRUMP making animal cruelty a federal crime and Trump issuing orders to create a task force to enforce it and then also Trump directing the FDA to start enforcing the regulations and laws governing the ethical treatment of animals in research labs or Trump saying he wants to see an end to all animal research, after all AI can do better now anyways. Of course Trump says a lot of bullshht, but when he actually DOES something right, maybe giving some thumbs up might encourage him to do more good things. The media BARELY gave this stuff any coverage and I only found out by accidentally seeing ONE story online by ABC. If the media would have blasted the amazing-ness of it, it would trigger Trump to do more...he craves it when the media has to acknowledge He and both Dems and Repubs did something RIGHT...And let him take all the credit "There's never been a president like me fighting for the animals..." Use his own ego to propel him to do the right things. Just MY opinion.

Is it THAT hard to give credit where credit is due? That's why I'm an independent, even if I can't spell it correctly in my username LOL ;-) Choosing a "side" would make me want to be loyal and ignore the wrongs that my side does and ignore the good when the other side does.

That's what I'm doing...this shows there IS hope....that there are still folks in the Supreme Court who are basing their judgements on the law and not politics.

I never once said that I believed that the Supremes had turned over a new leaf. Go back a re-read, as I can be a TERRIBLE communicator. So let me know if I did imply that please.

What I am saying is to celebrate *THIS*ONE*PARTICULAR* event...

By ALWAYS holding back from acknowleding when things go right because "we don't know if a new leaf is turned over" means the positive energy never gets out there to support them when they do things right...INSTEAD forgot for the moment what the future brings or what the past brought, and go WOO HOO THE CONSERVADICKS GOT IT RIGHT FOR *ONCE* and maybe just maybe if enough people did --- like that it would create some momentum to let the politicians know that it can be worth they're while to do more like this.....

But if they don't get the good feedback FROM THE OTHER SIDE... In other words, if conservative politicians/judges etc got SUPPORT from some liberals acknowledging they liked what they did, they will remember that...

If you NEVER give any positive support they'll hear:

NOTHING.....

Blasey Ford spewed her lies in front of a camera to the entire country. She named 4 people, none of whom had any recollection of the incident. Her best friend, in spite of pressure put on her by zFord's attorneys called BS on her story and did so from a freaking hospital bed. That was the left's "strongest" allegation. It was easily disproved because she so blatantly lied.

Juklie Swetnick. Remember her? She was peddled on us by your man-crush Avenatti. Her story was so ridiculous and she changed it big time when MSM outlets gave her an audience, because, of course they did.

Then there was a woman who after two weeks of presssure concocted a story while at a dorm party, in a room filled with people his friends put Kavanaugh's junk in her hand. That's not even physically possible. Yet, in spite of being on a room full of people nobody else witnessed it. That's a shocker /s

Then I brought up the story about him sticking his date and the woman he was dating at that time of the allegation said it was a flat out lie. He never struck her or treated her badly in any way.

Then the accusation that he assaulted a woman on a boat. Yeah, that one lasted all of two minutes when the accuser recanted.

Proof is for non-Cultists... they don't need no stinking proof.

Just what Trump or one of his more loyal to him than the Law tells them to think.

She didn't know the year. It was at a house but none of her named witnesses lived in that house. How does that happen? She didn't know the house. The FBI doesn't waste time investigating BS. ANYONE can make an allegation.

"She didn't know the year."

I couldn't remember the year of my heart attack.

You're pretending that's a barometer of IT NOT HAPPENING.

"How does that happen?"

Maybe an investigation would've answered that question.

Meanwhile, if the letters were reversed, the lack of FBI investigation would be unacceptable to you.

And you'd be right.

We KNOW it didn't happen. You know it but wont admit it.

She didn't have any actionable information to investigate. Her best friend strath up accused her of lying about the incident that we all know never happened.

Bottom line, Democrats we're trying to run out the clock and they failed, much to your chagrin.

"She didn't have any actionable information to investigate."

^
That's not how knowing things works.
That's not a thing you could know until after it's investigated.

"She didn't have any actionable information to investigate."

That's like saying no Covid testing means no Covid.

Your logic is so circular you should serve mustard with the pretzels.

"Bottom line..."

...is you would have a 180 degree different reaction if the letters after the name were different, and we all know it.

That's the textbook definition of a partisan hack: your morals change with the parties.

I would hope that Republicans wouldn't be stupid enough to believe ridiculous allegations like that if they were directed at a Democrat.

In other news, the value of the $USD is still trash. Still winninuning
