The Supreme Court’s tariff ruling: Letters to the Editor — Feb. 25, 2026
The Issue: The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to strike down some of President Trump’s claimed tariff powers.
The Supreme Court’s tariff ruling will cause much damage to our country (“President rips ‘disloyal’ justices,” Feb. 21).
We must pay the interest on our national debt, which is now at $38 trillion.
President Trump’s tariffs were helping by raising the cost of foreign-made goods, making American products more competitive.
Now that economic factor is gone.
Sure, Trump was caustic and gruff in negotiating those tariffs, but that is what was required to accomplish the goal, which previous presidents failed to do.

It’s unfortunate that Trump’s behavior toward the Supreme Court was demeaning and spiteful to the people of the United States and our global partners.
He claims America comes first but doesn’t make it apparent.
His tariffs do not benefit “we the people.”
The Supreme Court did the nation a disservice by not addressing whether the government will have to pay back the tariff revenues it has collected.
Ambiguous rulings result in millions of dollars that will have to be spent in unnecessary additional legal fees before lower federal courts and appellate courts figure out what happens to the tariff dollars already collected.
The tariff ruling may have been “disloyal” to Trump, but it was loyal to the Constitution the justices swore to protect.
Trump had clearly overreached his authority.
His smears of the justices who ruled against his tariffs prove he has no business holding the highest office in the land, and never has.
Foreign countries have sucked us dry and let us carry the burdens of the world for too long.
Now that we have a chance to make the world treat us with respect and not as a cash register, the Supreme Court doesn’t back our leader.
Its reasoning that Trump’s tariffs are illegal is BS.

No other country in the world allows foreigners to interfere with their politics, but the Supreme Court — which says it has no time to hear 99% of appeals from Americans — agreed to take this stupid case, whose plaintiff is a proxy for China, the big witch behind the scenes.
Chief Justice Roberts used legalese to undo the tariffs.
Trump should appoint only judges like the great Justice Clarence Thomas.
The Issue: Expected protests that forced the canceling of a lecture by CBS’s Bari Weiss at UCLA.
The Bari Weiss lecture at UCLA would have been of great benefit to students there.
But the 21st century’s brownshirts — the pro-Palestinian campus thugs — posed too much of a threat (“Bari cancels UCLA speech,” Feb. 21).
One should not underestimate the danger of this development.
It mirrors the “Gleichschaltung,” the consolidation of power under the Nazis on German academic campuses.
Its main features included the slow but inexorable removal of Jews from campus life, and then from campuses altogether.
This Jew-hating treatment of Weiss has UCLA heading toward a Nazi-like future.
UCLA professors like Robin Kelly are Zionophobes whose poisonous pedagogy encourages students to embrace everything Hamas.
At this point, there’s no more than a scintilla of difference between UCLA today and universities in Nazi Germany in 1933-1945.
