Well, he'll be able to use other laws, or at least he'll try to.
He's imposing these new tariffs under a law known as Section 122, which allows a president to impose tariffs for up to 150 days.
After that, Congress has to vote on it.
In addition, some of the tariffs he's already imposed will stick around.
These are called Section 232 tariffs.
They're the tariffs on things like steel and aluminum and cars.
But then he also has cited a few other laws he says he can use to impose tariffs.
Tariffs have just given Trump enormous power.
He had claimed he had the ability to impose tariffs when he wanted, at what level he wanted.
And as the head of an economic superpower, that gave Trump massive leverage over other countries.
And he used that to make trade deals on pharmaceutical pricing, even for diplomacy.
And now he doesn't necessarily have that same power anymore.
Yeah, good morning, Scott.
Well, first he thanked and congratulated the justices who did side with him.
And then he just laid into the other justices, accusing them of being disloyal to the Constitution.
So the president is accusing Supreme Court justices of being under the sway of foreign influences.
That's just wild.
And furthermore, when a reporter asked if he had evidence of that, he said, you're going to find out.
So he didn't even say what he meant.
All in all, he was absolutely furious.
