The decision centers on #tariffs imposed under an “emergency” powers #law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” #tariffs he levied on nearly every other country on earth. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term. #law #economy #geopolitics #Trump #SCOTUS #affordability #inflation #CostOfLiving

#Trump did his usual rote #lying about the #economy — pity the fact-checkers who tried to keep up even in the first 10 minutes or so of the speech — along with some of his other greatest hits, including the many #wars he stopped [🙄] & the magic of #tariffs. (He referred to the “unfortunate involvement” of #SCOTUS on the tariff issue, as if the justices barged into his office like interlopers.) #SOTU

@cdarwin@c.im Trading one traitorous #GOP partisan hack on #SCOTUS for another doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference. The justices that are NOT #GOP partisan hacks just need to hold on until 2028.

If #SCOTUS overturns birthright citizenship, Marco Rubio could lose his U.S. citizenship, if they apply any ruling to politically "connected" people. Rubio's parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio's birth on May 28, 1971. They were naturalized in 1975. His parents were Cubans, of Spanish and Italian descent, who immigrated to the United States in 1956 during the regime of Fulgencio Batista, two and a half years before Fidel Castro ascended to power after the Cuban Revolution., which Rubio lied about and said he fled the Castro regime. #USPol

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social #TACO vorrà anche firmare la decisione finale di #SCOTUS. Come per i nuovi dollari celebrativi. Ha dimenticato di firmare i #Epstein files.

Kids can be subjected to harmful 'conversion therapy,’ U.S. Supreme Court rules, court saying conversion therapy is basically protected 1st amendment speech since it is primarily "talking." The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, on Transgender Day of Visibility, struck down Colorado’s ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for minors. The decision elevates abstract free-speech doctrine over a growing body of medical evidence and leaves LGBTQ+ youth more exposed to a practice doctors have long described as harmful. The Court ruled 8–1, with a broad majority, including two liberal justices, joining the opinion striking down the law, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting. Colorado argued that conversion therapy is not merely an expression but a form of clinical intervention — one associated, major medical groups say, with depression, anxiety, and increased suicide risk. The Court was unpersuaded and concluded that the Constitution does not allow the government to decide which messages may be delivered in a therapist’s office. 🔗 Kids can be subjected to harmful 'conversion therapy,’ U.S. Supreme Court rules #News #SCOTUS #USPol It's a stunning setback for #LGBTQ+ young people who are put at significant risk for harm by this decision. https://www.advocate.com/news/scotus-rejects-conversion-therapy-bans

#SCOTUS #Voting #MidtermElectons #USPS #MailInBallots This will make all mail-in ballot delvery, and vote by mail interesting. I assume the DOGE bros and Dejoy have a list of Amercans who routinely vote Democrat, or perhaps they'll just go by "black or hispanic names?" https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/supreme-court-rules-postal-service-sued-mail-intentionally-130452577#:~:text=A%20divided%20Supreme%20Court%20has%20ruled%20that,when%20employees%20deliberately%20refuse%20to%20deliver%20mail

The Federal Register just posted "Ending Certain Tariff Actions|, an EO reversing Trump's illegal and unconstitutional #TrumpTariffTax after #SCOTUS ruled against him. At the same time, it posted, "Continuing the Suspension of Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries" #USPol 🔗 Ending tariffs https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/02/25/2026-03832/ending-certain-tariff-actions 🔗 Continuing suspension of Duty-free De Minimis https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/02/25/2026-03829/continuing-the-suspension-of-duty-free-de-minimis-treatment-for-all-countries

@lindasgoluppiart@mastodonapp.uk As a legal question, keeping the politics out of it, this is actually a tricky one. It involves, amongst other things, a part of the U.S.A. Constitution known as the Emoluments Clauses (Article 1 §9 ¶7 and Article 2 §1 ¶7). These have had very little testing in the courts, most people in history having avoided issues of foreign/domestic bribery and corruption; and current indications are that the Roberts Court, which is one of the most judicially active #SCOTUS es in history, will hold that no-one actually has standing to sue under the Emoluments Clauses, rendering it effectively defunct. It has already done this with other parts of the Constitution, so has form. Other legal issues include one that seems bizarre to outsiders: there is actually an argument that people take seriously, that the President of the United States is not considered an officer of the U.S.A., and the Constitution only talks about officers. #USLaw #ConstitutionalLaw #EmolumentsClause

A significant rebuke⚡from the SCCJ:🚨"Roberts, writing for the majority, says Trump's claim of an emergency to issue unbounded tariffs on whoever he feels like flies in the face of decades of law and practice." -K Cheney There's no absolute immunity for chief fascist‼️ #SCOTUS #RuleOfLaw #Tariffs #TradeWar #Constitution #Congress #USPol https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1287_4gcj.pdf

@Nonilex@masto.ai He’s right about one thing: ‘ #SCOTUS has been "swayed by foreign interests & a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."‘ That seems like a pretty fair description of the MAGA movement.
