SCOTUS Slaps Trump’s Tariffs
Description
Got a question for the boys?!?
Team USA brought home hockey gold, but back in Washington, it was the Supreme Court delivering the real overtime shocker.
This week on Pardon the Politics, the crew breaks down the 6–3 SCOTUS ruling blocking Trump’s sweeping tariff authority and what it means for executive power, Congress’s spine (or lack thereof), and the looming instability of governing by executive order. Is this about trade policy or a bigger battle over the separation of powers?
We also unpack the complex legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, political trailblazer, and a man whose roses came with thorns. From Rainbow PUSH to presidential runs to hot mic moments, we give flowers… and context.
Plus: Olympic pride, Canadian heartbreak, and why 2029 could be the most chaotic transition in modern political history.
Laugh with us. Learn with us. And as always, we rake everybody equally.
