Vance: Supreme Court tariff decision represents ‘lawlessness from the court’
Vice President JD Vance condemned the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling for limiting presidential tariff powers and called it lawlessness undermining protection for American industries.
- On Friday, February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the administration's tariffs in a 6-3 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts ruling the president needs congressional approval; hours later, President Donald Trump condemned the ruling at the White House.
- Vance argued that Congress's authority to `regulate imports` was ignored, framing the ruling as lawlessness shortly after the Trump presser.
- During the 45-minute White House address, Trump attacked six justices, praising the three dissenters, and said the Court is `swayed by foreign interests`.
- Vice President JD Vance wrote `This is lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple.` and warned the ruling will hinder protecting American industries and supply-chain resiliency.
- The administration said President Donald Trump has other tariff powers and will use them to defend American workers, while Trump vowed to pursue other avenues after the ruling, marking a rare rebuke of the nine-member Supreme Court.
