He made the remarks at a Washington, D.C. NRCC event, noting he appointed those two justices and expressing strong disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; In February, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump lacked authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act without congressional input. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the liberal-leaning justices Barrett, Kagan, and Sotomayor (the three liberal members) in the decision, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh dissented along with Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Court also refused to exempt the United States from refunding more than $130 billion collected in the tariffs, meaning taxpayers would bear the refunds. A federal trade court later ordered the administration to start those refunds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The ruling triggered a social-media backlash, with critics targeting Barrett for what they view as left-leaning influence in her decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The piece reflects on how justices are chosen partly because their past rulings align with a president\u2019s agenda, citing Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan (Obama appointees) as examples of liberal-leaning justices. It also notes a historical pattern of conservative-leaning justices who became more liberal over time, listing several justices across different eras.
