I forgot to post this article, so it was sitting as a draft.
I am sure they saw last night’s results and are now wondering whether to follow the law, as it is not what they wish it to be, because if they don’t, they may find themselves powerless within a few years. I am referring to the Trump cultists who kiss the ring of their master.
The Supreme Court is now realizing, well, at least four of the six fascist members of the court, that their days of corrupting the legal system could be numbered. They saw the same results we did on election night. They can add two plus two and know that if they continue the way they do, they will become the demons of history that destroyed our country.
Yesterday, they opened their eyes and their mouth found a voice.
President Donald Trump’s use of sweeping tariffs faced sharp questioning at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in a case with major implications for the president’s agenda and the global economy.
A majority of justices, including several conservatives, expressed doubts about the White House’s justification of the import duties, which the president has said are necessary to restore America’s manufacturing base and fix its trade imbalance.
The measures are being challenged by a number of small businesses and a group of states, which contend that the president has overstepped his authority in imposing the levies, which are in effect a tax.
America’s top court – which has a 6-3 conservative majority – usually takes months to reach big decisions, but many expect it to move faster in this case, which is also seen as the first major test of the Trump administration’s push to expand presidential power.
“And so is it your contention that every country needed to be tariffed because of threats to the defense and industrial base? I mean, Spain? France?” asked Amy Coney Barrett, who was appointed to the court by Trump.
