His remarks signal a growing concern within the Supreme Court over institutional delegitimization and the physical safety of federal judges.
President Donald Trump has escalated global import duties to a 15% maximum, pivoting to Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act after the Supreme Court invalidated his previous emergency-power tariffs. This temporary measure faces a 150-day legislative deadline and significant skepticism from a Republican-controlled Congress concerned about inflation.
The Supreme Court has issued a landmark 6-3 ruling limiting the President's authority to impose broad-based tariffs without explicit Congressional approval. The decision applies the 'Major Questions Doctrine' to trade law, effectively staying the administration's 10% universal baseline tariff and creating a new era of legislative-heavy trade compliance.
Following a landmark 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that curtailed executive authority under the IEEPA, President Trump has invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose a new 10% global tariff.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the President lacks unilateral authority to set global tariffs, invalidating previous trade actions. In a swift counter-move, President Trump imposed a new 10% tariff for a 150-day period, triggering a fresh wave of legal and economic uncertainty.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the executive branch exceeded its authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs.
