Chapter 2: What was the Supreme Court's ruling on President Trump's tariffs?
The Supreme Court Friday struck down President Trump's tariff regimen. The tariffs have been a key part of his economic policies. Ampere's Nina Totenberg explains their reasoning.
Writing for a hefty 6-3 majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that the nation's founders deliberately and explicitly placed the power to impose taxes, including tariffs, with Congress, not with the president.
As the Chief Justice put it in his announcement from the bench this morning, having just fought a revolution motivated in large part by taxes imposed on them by the King of England without their consent, The framers wrote a constitution that gives Congress the taxing power because the members of the legislature would be more accountable to the people.
Trump said he's absolutely ashamed of the justices, and he quickly announced that he's imposing a temporary global tariff of 10 percent. But his authority to add new tariffs has been drastically reduced by the ruling.
