Trump Rebukes Gorsuch and Barrett, Pressures Supreme Court Before Birthright Decision

The clash follows a 6-3 ruling that voided his emergency tariffs under the IEEPA.

Overview

  • In a Sunday Truth Social post, President Trump named Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett and said they “hurt our country” by joining February’s 6-3 ruling against his tariff program.
  • He said Republican-appointed justices should show “loyalty” to their nominator and suggested he should be the one to “pack the Court.”
  • He predicted the Court will reject his order to limit birthright citizenship and cast a loss as financially harmful, even though the ruling is still pending and expected by late June or early July.
  • Government agencies have begun refunding tariff payments to businesses, with reports estimating $159–$166 billion in returns and customs data showing more than 330,000 affected importers.
  • Chief Justice John Roberts has warned that personal attacks on judges are dangerous, a caution that hangs over the president’s public pressure on the Court.
