Ex-DOJ attorney delivers sobering reality check after Supreme Court deals Trump big loss
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Former Justice Department attorney Kim Wehle cautioned against complacency following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling against Trump's tariffs, arguing the decision does not signal a meaningful check on presidential power expansion. While the Court struck down the tariffs in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, Wehle warned the ruling represents "a check—but not a constitutional reset." She cited three concerns: the decision was not unanimous, it benefited "the very rich," and the Court has yet to meaningfully constrain Trump's authority. Wehle emphasized that the rule of law depends on sustained judicial fidelity to principle, not isolated opinions. She called for holding justices accountable by praising constitutional adherence and persistently criticizing betrayals of law. Wehle stressed vigilance is necessary to determine whether the majority is guided by the Constitution or politics.Watch video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
