Neal Katyal: Supreme Court Ruling Shows Trump Tariffs Were ‘Blatantly Un-American’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KATYAL: “Yeah, I think that’s right. But I would also just say, you know, it’s really difficult to challenge a major presidential initiative in the courts. If you go back over American history, the Supreme Court maybe once or twice has struck down a president’s signature initiative as being unconstitutional. But that’s it. And of course, many, many people try all the time. But there’s such a tradition in our court system of giving deference to the president that it almost never happens. But as you pointed out today, it did. And it is potentially a very massive moment in our history because the Supreme Court is saying, and this is not some democratic Supreme Court or something. Six of the nine justices appointed by Republican presidents, Chief Justice Roberts writes the opinion he’s appointed by President Bush. He’s joined in his opinion by Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, who are both Trump appointees to the Supreme Court. And all of them are saying with three other justices. So six of the nine are saying these tariffs are blatantly UN-American.”
