Bacon Applauds Supreme Court Ruling on Tariffs

Washington – Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) today released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled on the Administration’s broad-based tariffs:

“The Constitution’s checks and balances still work. Article One gives tariff authority to Congress. This was a common-sense and straightforward ruling by the Supreme Court. I feel vindicated as I’ve been saying this for the last 12 months. In the future, Congress should defend its own authorities and not rely on the Supreme Court. Besides the Constitutional concerns I had on the Administration’s broad-based tariffs, I also do not think tariffs are smart economic policy. Broad-based tariffs are bad economics.”
