Unironically, for a lot of power players. A lot of times it all gets rolled into one mega faction, in people’s minds, but a lot of Trump’s decisions upset a ton of powerful people. Not the fascism of course, but fucking with trade and commerce.
A countervailing force finally hit. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were plenty of “concerned representatives” making contact with Supreme Court members.
Hmm. I hope Trump doesn’t just go ahead and ignore them
And surely companies will lower their prices again because they’re not being charged more for regular shit
Surely he wouldn’t do that, fascists always abide by the rules
Well great, I guess I can kiss the fifty billion dollars I invested in building new factories goodbye!
Too bad the damage has already been done by the US regime based on price increases in almost everything and so on. It’s not like prices are going to go down after this.
To understand Trump’s view of economy, one must imagine the economy as a 14 year old child…
As of the middle of December, IEEPA tariffs had raised about $130 billion, according to the latest data available from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Trump has touted much higher numbers, up to $3 trillion.
lmao. Wharton math.
Tbf his best buddy jeff was more of the numbers guy
i think this one’s kind of interesting because at this point the judiciary seems to me to be playing the most pure distillation of the expression of the opinions of capital on trump admin policies, so this i think in some sense represents capital formally telling trump that they don’t like the tariffs. it will be interesting to see how that develops. i think trump will probably just keep levying them one way or the other, but the tension with capital might be interesting. or maybe they’ll just fall in line behind the fuhrer, not sure yet.
Capital knows only one master, itself. And it does not share power.

How many battalions answer to the Supreme Court?
major blow to the president
Let’s see ol’ Donny wriggle his way out of this one
Ah! 
It’ll be so funny if Trump responds by packing the court
He responded by saying “OK” then then enacting more tarriffs
Or he could “fire” them by sending them on a permanent vacation to Gitmo and right away putting in his own guys and women as an “emergency official act”.
Or best of all - he sends them to Gitmo and he becomes the supreme court. Everything happens on Truth Social. The “arguments” are bullet points and not longer. Trump then watches teevee and his aides check social media for him. In the next day or two Trump issues his ruling: “deal”, “no deal”, “bad deal”, “super deal”, “too stupid deal” etc.
Apparently there are literally hundreds of lawsuits related to tariff refunds in US courts right now. Wonder if any of those will be significant
This was the plan all along to starve the beast. They passed all their tax cuts and were all in on tariffs to make up the rest and now the controlled opposition removed the tariffs so they have no choice but to implement broad austerity.
Does it actually matter though? The supreme court is in Trump’s pocket, no?
It’s also PR for GOP SCOTUS to make them seem reasonable for some of their upcoming rulings this summer - some of which will be grotesque: Birthright Citizenship, the Voting Rights Act, etc.
The Supreme Court is currently controlled by a bunch of Federalist Society freaks. It’s the culmination of a decades-long conservative project to rig the federal judiciary in their favor. As with many pre-Trump conservatives, there’s a lot of overlap in goals, but also some significant points of disagreement.
It’s also an institution that takes a much longer view than Trump. There is at least some desire to maintain the legitimacy of the courts.
