Trump Criticizes Supreme Court Ruling on Tariffs but Greets Justices at State of the Union
Trump called the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision limiting presidential tariff authority "unfortunate" while greeting justices attending his State of the Union address.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union to Congress with four Supreme Court justices present, and coverage ran from 9 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET.
- After the ruling on Friday, the court's majority, including Justices Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett, blocked the president's tariff authority, prompting Trump to say he was `absolutely ashamed` of some justices.
- Among those seen in the chamber were Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Elena Kagan, mirroring last year's attendance pattern.
- SCOTUSblog notes that attendance is optional and Chief Justice John Roberts called it an individual decision; Trump stopped to shake some justices' hands while USA TODAY live streamed the address.
- The Supreme Court includes three Trump-appointed justices, and Justice Clarence Thomas's only 21st-century attendance was in 2006.
