When the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Friday that President Donald Trump cannot use the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to unilaterally levy tariffs, critics of this administration were quick to celebrate.
But while most leftists are taking that victory lap, not every member of that side is so enthused.
In fact, on far-left network MS NOW, its senior legal reporter, Lisa Rubin, seemed to admit defeat, acknowledging that this sticky tariff issue was far, far from over.
🚨 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN President Trump’s tariffs, holding that the President CANNOT use the IEEPA and Congress alone has the taxing power.

Rubin appeared alongside MS NOW anchor Ana Cabrera shortly after the SCOTUS announcement, and the two dove into the litany of questions that naturally follow such a major ruling.
“In the meantime, Lisa, there were a lot of businesses who were waiting for this, a lot of consumers, and of course a lot of foreign governments who were wondering what this is going to end up being — because now that the Supreme Court has ruled against the use of that power to exert these tariffs or invoke them, where’s all the money that has been collected going to go?” Cabrera asked, according toMediaite.
She added, “Does it have to be refunded?”
Rubin’s response was telling, first admitting that this whole ordeal was “messy.”
