Summary

In one of the biggest decisions of the term, the Supreme Court delivered a stinging defeat to President Trump, ruling he cannot institute tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Asha and Renato discuss whether the Supreme Court is finally turning against Trump and if the decision signals the beginning of a check on his executive power. Plus, they analyze yet another baffling ruling by District Judge Aileen Cannon, this time barring the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s mishandling of classified materials.
