from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune
The Supreme Court's recent ruling has sent shockwaves through the nation, particularly among those who felt the impact of President Trump's tariffs the most. On February 20, 2026, the Court made a pivotal decision, ruling 6-3 that Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to impose these tariffs exceeded his authority. This wasn't just a legal victory; it reinforced a critical aspect of our democracy—the separation of powers.The Court highlighted that the power to impose tariffs is a congressional duty, a responsibility that’s enshrined in the Constitution. And in doing so, they directly challenged the executive overreach that many believe had begun to blur the lines of that responsibility. Naturally, this decision led to immediate reactions. Former President Trump criticized the ruling fiercely, calling the dissenting justices a 'disgrace to our nation.' Such strong words reflect just how contentious the debate over these tariffs has become.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
