As Trumps MAGA-friendly advisers rage over a harsh ruling against his tariffs, a lawyer for the challengers explains how it exposed deep weaknesses in their legal justificationand what will happen now.
President Donald Trumps advisers are raging over a court ruling that temporarily blocked many of Trumps tariffs. Stephen Miller called it judicial tyranny. Another top adviser called the judges globalist. And press secretary Karoline Leavitt seethed that unelected judges have grown dangerous. While an appeals court did put a stay on the ruling, letting the tariffs proceed for now, its become overwhelmingly clear that the tariffs are extremely vulnerable legally, and MAGA rage continues to boil. The whiplash in the courts underscores what a fiasco of uncertainty Trump unleashed, and our trading partners now think their hand has been strengthened in trade talks, revealing more weakness. We talked to George Mason Universitys Ilya Somin, a lead lawyer for the challengers, about why the ruling is crushing for Trumps case, what it reveals about his broader abuses of power, and how he still can be stopped.
