YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's global 'reciprocal' tariffs, ruling 6-3 that his use of an emergency powers law was unconstitutional because, as Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, 'The Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the Executive Branch.' President Trump calls the decision 'deeply disappointing' and that he is 'absolutely ashamed' of the justices who voted in the majority, but the President also says he will rely on other laws that do give him the ability to set tariffs and immediately sets a 10% global tariff. We will hear from the President & Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and talk to Vox Media's Supreme Court reporter Ian Millhiser. (14)
