President Donald Trump admonished justices who struck down sweeping tariffs on Friday, accusing the six members of the Supreme Court of being “afraid of doing the right thing.”

The president said at a press conference hours after the court’s ruling that he’s “ashamed” for the justices who voted against his tariffs, singling out the liberal justices who joined three conservatives in blocking the tariffs as a “disgrace to our nation.”

“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” he said.

    This is a big signal that they won’t be rubber stamping everything in his agenda. They wanted Barret because she would give them Abortion, no matter what, and she did. But like most criminals, these MAGAs never look beyond their immediate agenda, to the next steps, or the consequences of their behavior.

    So now they’ve got a moral person on the Supreme Court who doesn’t seem likely to appease his ugliest demands.

    Birthright Citizenship is coming soon, which is expressly allowed in the Constitution, and this ruling seems to indicate that they aren’t willing to just ignore the Constitution to earn his favor.

    Especially after he attacked them so viciously. They won’t forget that.
