Harvard Law Professor explores the existential life of a SCOTUS justice who's a beer-loving Trump-loving sexual predator [View all]

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, occupies a unique position following a 6-3 decision against the president on tariffs, according to Harvard Law School professor Richard J. Lazarus.

Lazarus argued in a Washington Post column that Kavanaugh should use his current favor with Trump to defend the Court's institutional integrity after the president attacked his colleagues.

Following the ruling, Trump posted on Truth Social, "My new hero is United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and, of course, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that they want to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Trump likely singled out Kavanaugh for his dissenting opinion, in which the conservative justice agreed that refunding tariff revenue would create a "mess' for the Trump administration. Thomas and Alito were also in the minority in the ruling.
