US EditionTrump lashes out at Barrett, Gorsuch for ruling against tariffs
The Court ruled the executive branch exceeded delegated authority under the major questions doctrine, raising questions about refunding billions collected from importers.
- Today the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the unilateral tariff regime imposed by President Donald Trump after a 3-3 split among six Republican-appointed justices in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, with Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the majority and filing a solo concurrence.
