NCS commentator Scott Jennings rejected a suggestion that the Trump administration pay him for his MAGA advocacy by reminding panelists that the community pays him handsomely sufficient.
On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s tariff regime, which relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. While the legislation offers the president broad powers throughout a nationwide emergency, the courtroom dominated that it doesn’t give the president the power to unilaterally impose tariffs.
Trump responded predictably, and reserved explicit ire for Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch, each of whom Trump appointed to the courtroom. They joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the courtroom’s three liberal justices in voting to strike down the tariffs, 6-3.
“I think it’s an embarrassment to their families — you wanna know the truth — the two of them,” Trump said.
Hours in a while NCS NewsNight time, Jennings stated the day’s developments present the U.S. authorities is “properly functioning.”
“It was a big breaking news day,” Jennings said. “But I just think we ought to acknowledge something. This is a properly functioning government today. The president of the United States, the head of the executive branch, made a policy decision. The Supreme Court that renders legal opinions about these kinds of decisions, made a decision. They said, ‘You can’t do that.’ The president of the United States said, ‘Ok, I agree, and I will acknowledge your decision. I am going to use a different statute to try to do what I want to do.’ This is properly functioning government.”
He went on so as to add that Friday’s ruling disproves Democrats’ claims that the excessive courtroom is in Trump’s pocket.
“Obviously, that narrative was obliterated today,” Jennings stated. “I thought the ruling was sound. I think the president is sound to try other statutes.”
Keith Boykin, a former aide to ex-President Bill Clinton, objected to the characterization.
“That was a very charitable explanation of what took place today, Scott,” Boykin reacted. “You should be paid a lot of money from the Trump administration for helping to–”
“No, I get paid a lot of money here,” Jennings stated, taking a sip from his mug whereas gazing into the digicam.
“Well, I know you do,” Boykin replied. “And other places too, but you should be paid by the Trump administration for what you said because the reality is that the president didn’t just accept the ruling like you said he did.”
“Yes, he did,” Jennings responded.
“He got up there in the press conference today, and he attacked the U.S. Supreme Court justices,” Boykin famous. “He said that they should be embarrassed for their families for making a decision that stood up to him. He attacked them and said they were disloyal and unpatriotic. He said they were disloyal to the Constitution. That’s more than disagreement. That’s irresponsible rhetoric. And the problem is, Scott, even though today the Supreme Court did the right thing… the truth is that this is the first major decision where they have actually disagreed with the president on any of his, of his priorities. So, yes, they got one right. But that doesn’t negate everything else that they’ve done.”
