The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on Friday in a 6-3 vote. The justices ruled that the tariffs — which were imposed by a series of executive orders — exceeded presidential powers under a 1977 law that gives the president authority to regulate commerce only in the case of international emergencies. The ruling takes away a "leverage power tool by Trump," says Lori Wallach, director of the Rethink Trade program at the American Economic Liberties Project. "He's furious about it, because a court that's been otherwise willing to expand his authority endlessly drew a line."
Trump called the ruling a "disgrace" and responded Friday by announcing a new 10% global tariff — which he increased to 15% Saturday.

He is the former county recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona, and oversaw elections there in 2020. The Justice Department has sued Arizona and over 20 other states for their full voter registration lists. "No means no," Fontes says in response to the Trump administration's encroachment on state authority. "We should not be handing over any of our personal identifying information to the president. Not only should we not be doing it, but it's against the law for me to fulfill the request from the Department of Justice."
