President Donald Trump launched a late-night attack on the U.S. Supreme Court and the “politicized” judiciary more generally on Sunday, insisting he retains “the absolute right” to impose tariffs despite a major ruling that struck down large parts of his administration’s trade policy. In a Truth Social screed approaching 1,000 words, the president accused the court of “hurting” the country and insisted his administration would pursue alternative legal routes to continue imposing import duties.
“The Courts treat Republicans, and me, so unfairly, always seeming to protect those who should not be protected. They are highly politicized. Cases don’t matter, the Judge does!” he began. The president went on to rage at Judge James Boasberg for having nixed efforts by the Department of Justice to investigate the Federal Reserve, a move that Fed chair Jerome Powell slammed as triggered by his refusal to lower interest rates despite mounting pressure from the White House.
He wrote: “I strongly criticized Jerome “Too Late” for his horrible performance throughout his tenure, which is either gross incompetence, total dishonesty, or both, and, in return for this well justified criticism, get viciously and wrongfully blamed by, as usual, a Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge, named James Boasberg, a man who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been “after” my people, and me, for years.”
Boasberg, Trump claimed, displayed “open, flagrant, and extreme partisan bias and contempt against Republicans and the Trump Administration.” The president also rounded on the Supreme Court, which ruled in February that the administration had improperly relied on a 1977 emergency powers law to justify sweeping tariffs imposed last year on goods from countries around the world. The decision dealt a significant blow to Trump’s aggressive trade agenda, which has relied heavily on tariffs as a central tool of economic policy.

This is ALL the result of John "Dr. Frankenstein" Roberts, whose creature is now out of control and coming for him.
Women (Mary Shelley) knew the deal.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Just the idea that he thinks he can do this should be enough to mobilize people to remove that asshat and his cronies by any means necessary.
But... 
He'll order Bondi to start DOJ investigations of them.
Problem is, ETHICS investigations HAVE been done and we know the guilty parties, but they were GOPers, so...
...a little above his turkey neck. And hope it's a gusher.
That's just me..........
He reminds me of the kid in the grocery cart--screaming because his mom won't let him have a candy bar.
I hope he pisses off the Supremes mightily.
It's basically admitting their argument has no basis in fact, therefore..... TDS....
I truly miss the days when I didn't have to read about or hear the president literally EVERY FUCKING DAY because, you know, THEY WERE BUSY ACTUALLY DOING THEIR JOB.
