Quick Summary

In an interview with Time magazine, President Donald Trump criticized his three Supreme Court appointees—Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh—for rulings he deemed unfavorable, particularly regarding tariffs and birthright citizenship. Trump complained about the justices' lack of loyalty to him compared to what he perceives as unwavering support from judges appointed by Presidents Obama and Biden. He specifically mentioned a ruling in February that invalidated his new tariffs, potentially costing billions, and another decision overturning an executive order on birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen parents.

Story summary

In a recent interview with Time magazine, President Trump expressed regret over his nominations of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, stating they "voted against me too often." He criticized their rulings on matters such as tariffs and mail-in voting, which went against his policies. In contrast, Trump praised Democrats for their loyalty but noted that former President Biden, whom he claims doesn't know who these justices are, still receives unwavering support from them. The interview highlights the president's expectation of judicial loyalty rather than adherence to constitutional principles, a stance that diverges from the traditional role of Supreme Court justices as impartial arbiters of law and not political allies.
