The Supreme Court term that began in October was once again dominated by President Trump’s boundary-pushing policies. The justices are deciding major tests of presidential power in four cases involving the administration that could have generational consequences.

President Donald Trump used his State of the Union address Tuesday to slam the Supreme Court’s decision against his sweeping emergency tariffs, repeatedly calling the ruling “unfortunate” even as he suggested his administration would quickly move past it.

A president who demands loyalty and has gotten used to winning at the Supreme Court didn’t hold back after it struck down his signature economic policy.

After the Trump administration’s punishing tariffs were invalidated, the president said he would impose new tariffs using a different authority. It’s been a whirlwind.

Supreme Court rules Trump oversteps authority by imposing sweeping tariffs without clear approval from Congress under emergency statute.

The court said Congress in 1946 barred lawsuits against the Postal Service, including in instances where mail is stolen or misdirected by postal employees.

The tariffs, or taxes on goods entering the country, were imposed in 2025 by President Donald Trump, who cited the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to issue the tariffs without congressional approval.
