The Supreme Court, Tariffs, and Temper Tantrums

The Supreme Court just struck down Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs — yes, that Supreme Court, with the conservative majority and three Trump appointees. In this episode, we take a look at what the Court actually ruled, which justices sided where, and why this wasn’t about trade policy as much as it was about limits on executive power. We’ll talk about the companies lining up to sue for refunds, why you probably won’t see prices drop even if they win, and Trump’s childish reaction, calling the justices “cowardly” and saying they should “be ashamed.” At the end of the day, this ruling says less about tariffs and more about one uncomfortable truth: in America, even presidents don’t get to do whatever they want — and for some people, that’s the hardest pill to swallow. Also in this episode, a nonpartisan free speech refresher, the Barstool Test, and A Tale of Two Media. Visit the podcast website at https://www.neighborontheleft.com
