Rep. Mike Levin’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Tariffs Ruling
Washington D.C.—Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump striking down President Trump’s tariffs:
“I’ve opposed Trump’s tariff scheme from day one, and not just because it’s illegal, but because it’s an economic disaster.
“These tariffs are a tax on every American consumer, raising prices and hurting businesses. Congress, and only Congress, has the authority to impose taxes, and when presidents trample that, we all pay the price.
“This decision is a win for the rule of law and a reminder that when this or any president undermines constitutional checks, whether by overstepping on tariffs, defying the Congressional power of the purse, or other obvious abuses, it’s our job to stop it.
“I applaud the Court majority for affirming Congress’s clear authority, and I hope this is just the first step in ending blatant constitutional violations by this Administration.”
