Awkward! Days After Tariff Ruling, Trump to Face Justices at State of the Union

Trump criticized the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling that struck down his tariffs, calling justices unpatriotic and a disgrace before facing them at the State of the Union address.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump comes face-to-face with Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and Justice Elena Kagan at the State of the Union amid a marked chill compared with last year.
  • Last week, six justices struck down the tariff ruling, prompting Trump to attack them as a `disgrace` and `fools and lapdogs` during his criticism.
  • Roberts has long expressed discomfort about the optics and recalled how Chief Justice William Rehnquist once skipped a speech for a $25 watercolor class, while Justice Samuel Alito visibly mouthed `not true` during President Barack Obama's critique.
  • Supreme Court justices decide individually whether to attend, with experts warning their presence could produce awkward optics if lawmakers cheer attacks, while others call the speech `Must See TV`.
  • Next week the court could decide whether to take up key appeals, including a 2023 civil case by writer E. Jean Carroll, with oral arguments scheduled for April, Jeremy Dalrymple said this tension is normal.
