During his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Donald Trump described the Supreme Court's rejection of his "emergency" tariffs as a "very unfortunate ruling." That was mild compared to what the president said immediately after the Court's decision in Learning Resources v. Trump.
On the day of that ruling, Trump condemned the Republican appointees who voted against him as "fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical-left Democrats." He was especially angry at two of his own nominees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, saying they were "very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution," "an embarrassment to their families," and cowardly pawns of his political opponents, whom he describes as "Marxists and communists and fascists."
