Supreme Court Rules Trump’s Tariffs Illegal, Liberals Celebrate Court Drama
KEY POINTS
- •On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's tariffs were illegal.
- •Conservative justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh dissented against the majority decision.
- •Stock markets rallied following the ruling as investors reacted positively to the tariff defeat.
On February 20, 2026, the US Supreme Court delivered a definitive 6-3 smackdown on Trump's tariffs, officially declaring them illegal. The dissenters? Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh, aka the Justice Triumvirate of No. Reporters noted the theatrical arrival of 'one box of opinions,' because nothing says suspense like courtroom stationery logistics. Meanwhile, stock markets enthusiastically rallied, likely thanking the court for saving investors from a tariff-induced migraine. Trump held a press conference post-ruling, presumably to complain loudly, since 'tariffs are illegal' doesn't fit well on a MAGA hat. Business live feeds buzzed with data from Britain's economy, as if the UK needed more reasons to watch US soap operas.

The Supreme Court just said 'no' to Trump's tariffs, but with three justices yelling 'yes,' it's basically family dinner politics with legal briefs.
If the Supreme Court had a group chat, Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh would be that trio ignoring the 'no tariffs' memo just for drama.
Trump's tariffs got struck down 6-3, proving even the Supreme Court knows when to say 'enough with the economic chaos.'
