Attorney Says Supreme Court Tariff Ruling Sparks Concern Over Safety of Justices

Is the independent judiciary under siege? Following the Supreme Court’s landmark decision to invalidate most of the President's tariffs, #DonaldTrump has labeled the justices "fools," "lapdogs," and "very unpatriotic." In a move that has shocked even his allies, the President singled out his own nominees, #JusticeBarrett and #JusticeGorsuch, calling them an "embarrassment to their families."

This #BreakingNews report analyzes the #Inquisitr breakdown of the "safety warning" issued by #TimothyHeaphy, the former Chief Investigative Counsel for the #Jan6Committee. Heaphy warns that the President’s "vitriolic" rhetoric is "detrimental to the justices' safety" and mirrors the pressure campaign seen during the 2021 Capitol attack. We explore the #Signalgate leaks regarding the President's plan to "permanently sideline" the Court using #Section122 and the #StateOfTheUnion snub where justices were "barely invited."

00:00An attorney is warning that President Donald Trump's rhetoric following a Supreme Court

00:03tariff ruling could put justices at potential risk, highlighting concerns about the impact

00:08of personal attacks on the judiciary in a tense political climate.

00:11The warning was raised by Temedio Agango Williams, a former investigator for the House January

00:166 Committee, during a weekend appearance on MSNBC Reports.

00:20He was referring to Trump's sharp criticism of the Supreme Court of the United States

00:24after it ruled 6-3 against his administration's use of emergency powers to impose sweeping

00:29tariffs.

00:30The decision, announced on Friday, limited the president's authority to impose broad

00:34trade penalties without congressional approval.

00:36The court determined that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize

00:41the wide-ranging tariffs that had been announced last year.

00:44Following the ruling, Trump publicly criticized several justices who opposed his administration's

00:48position, including members of the court he personally nominated during his first term.

00:52In public remarks and on social media, he accused some justices of lacking courage and suggested

00:57that political considerations influence their judgment.

01:01Agango Williams said the shift toward personal criticism of individual justices is troubling.

01:05He noted that the justices facing criticism were previously appointed and praised by Trump,

01:10making the tone of the attacks more significant in his view.

01:13He further warned that attacking judges personally, rather than focusing on legal disagreements,

01:18could carry wider consequences.

01:20According to him, such rhetoric in an environment already marked by political tensions may encourage

01:24dangerous responses instead of institutional processes.

01:27Legal experts cited in the report acknowledge that strong criticism of court decisions is

01:32common in American politics.

01:33However, some cautioned that personal attacks on judges, particularly in a polarized environment,

01:39may heighten tensions and increase risks.

01:41Trump has defended his remarks as legitimate political speech and argued that the court's ruling

01:45undermines his ability to protect American economic interests.
