Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
The
hearing
was
a
bloodbath
for
the
Trump
administration:
Six
justices
lined
up
to
bash
the
Justice
Department’s
defense
of
the
tariffs,
barely
disguising
their
annoyance
with
the
government’s
barrage
of
blustery
nonsense.
At
the
halfway
point,
it
would’ve
saved
everyone
time
had
the
court
just
huddled,
announced
its
decision
from
the
bench,
and
recessed
early
for
lunch.

Mark
Joseph
Stern,
a
senior
writer
at
Slate,
summarizing
the
epic
takedown
the
Trump
administration
faced
at
the
Supreme
Court
earlier
this
week
during
oral
arguments
on
the
legality
of
Trump’s
tariffs.
“We
have
spent
10
months
waiting
to
see
if,
and
when,
this
court
would
set
a
limit
on
Trump’s
power,”
Stern
wrote.
“Perhaps
we
should’ve
guessed
that
its
extraordinary
deference
to
this
president
could
be
outweighed
only
by
its
hatred
of
taxes.”
