HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) \u2014 President Donald Trump said Sunday that the Supreme Court has \u201cRANSACKED\u201d the U.S. through its ruling on his tariffs.<\/p>\n
He wrote in a social media post <\/a>that the court has allowed other countries and companies to seek trillions of dollars in refunds <\/a>following its invalidation of the import taxes.<\/p>\n \u201cOur Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization,\u201d Trump said on Truth Social. \u201cThe sad thing is, they will only get worse!\u201d<\/p>\n The National News Desk requested comment form the court but hasn\u2019t received a response. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion of the majority, though, which included five other judges, that Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to set tariffs<\/a>. The 1977 law allows presidents to regulate international commerce during a national emergency.<\/p>\n The Constitution permits Congress alone to impose taxes, an authorization Roberts cited in his opinion.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Framers recognized the unique importance of this taxing power \u2013 a power which \u2018very clear[ly]\u2019 includes the power to impose tariffs. And they gave Congress \u2018alone … access to the pockets of the people,\u2019\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThe Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the Executive Branch.\u201d<\/p>\n Comment with Bubbles<\/p>\n BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT<\/p>\n
