On Feb. 20, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the legality of a slew of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a result that outraged the President. This 6-3 ruling came as a great shock to me, because about nine months ago, Ken Trainor [Unchecked, Unbalanced, Un-supreme, Viewpoints, June 17, informed us all that the justices on the Supreme Court are “corrupt, politically partisan, and ideologically extreme,” that the high court has already “granted unlimited power” to the presidency, and that the Supreme Court has become “a politicized subsidiary of the Republican Party,” resulting in a democracy that has “no functioning system of checks and balances.”
