Trump calls Justice Kavanaugh ‘my new hero’ for dissenting in tariff ruling

Former President Donald Trump has praised Justice Brett Kavanaugh as 'my new hero' following Kavanaugh's dissent in a recent Supreme Court ruling that restricted Trump's authority to impose tariffs. The majority opinion found that the scope of presidential power regarding tariffs was limited, a decision that Kavanaugh criticized as 'illogical.' He expressed concerns over the potential adverse financial impacts of the ruling, suggesting that it could hinder the government's ability to respond to economic challenges effectively. This dissent marks a notable moment in Kavanaugh's judicial career, as it aligns him with Trump on a pivotal issue that has significant implications for trade and economic policy. The ruling has sparked discussions about the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches, particularly in matters of economic governance.
