Supreme Court agrees to hear Trump's appeal of tariff ruling

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted an unusually quick hearing on whether President Donald Trump has the power to impose sweeping tariffs under federal law.

The justices will hear arguments in November, lightning fast by the typical standards of the nation's highest court.

The small businesses and states that challenged the tariffs in court also agreed to the accelerated timetable. They say Trump illegally used emergency powers to set import taxes on goods from nearly every country in the world, nearly driving their businesses to bankruptcy.

Two lower courts have found most of the tariffs were illegally imposed, though a 7-4 appeals court has left them in place for now.

The Trump administration asked the justices to intervene quickly, arguing the law gives him the power to regulate imports and the country would be on “the brink of economic catastrophe” if the president is barred from exercising unilateral tariff authority.

6-3...in fact, 6-3 going forward on everything trump wants. we are doomed

Yeah, they've already decided.

The conservatives hate America. My only hope is that the Epstein shit coming out will make them turn on him. But...if these tariffs are a plan in that heritage 2025 plan to make Americans suffer we are fucked.

The most corrupt and partisan Court in US history. The Roberts Court will forever be remembered as the Court that enabled fascism to prevail in our country.

I posit future generations will view Mitch McConnell as the man who made the dismantling of our fragile republic possible. It started with, "One of my proudest moments was when I looked Barack Obama in the eye and I said, 'Mr. President, you will not fill the Supreme Court vacancy". A truly disgraceful creature. I'll be pissing on his grave.
