15. I was pleasantly surprised that Gorsuch voted with Roberts, Barrett, and the 3 libs.

But not completely shocked. Thomas and Alito are the one who go along with whatever Trump wants, but Roberts, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh have all ruled against him at various times.

P.S. Autocorrect tried to change "Gorsuch" to "Porsche." Wtf, autocorrect?

10. I am one of those crazy free trade capitalists

I believe that the most effective way to change countries to be more free is through free trade. Not even wars are as effective historically.

His tariffs were insane and based on idiotic equations they came up with probably while high on drugs. This provides much needed relief to consumers. And businesses legitimately might cancel some planned layoffs because of this.

17. Of course it is, and he has displayed his ire already by calling the decision "a disgrace."

There are other ways of imposing tariffs and he's sure to try them, but those are much more limiting than the IEEPA, which he incorrectly thought gave him the right to declare an emergency any time he felt like it. He can no longer use it as a means of punishing or rewarding other countries using tariffs.

or at least a death stare at the two conservative judges who ruled correctly, but will be labelled traitors by Trump and MAGA.

18. The Supreme Court ruling

has limited President Trump's ability to impose sweeping tariffs, but he may pursue tariffs through other legal avenues, such as Section 232 and Section 301 of trade law. These sections allow for tariffs under specific circumstances, such as national security concerns or unfair trade practices.
