The Supreme Court delivers a major blow to presidential powers, ruling 6-3 against Trump's sweeping tariffs on imports, citing constitutional overreach. The court's decision emphasizes Congress's role in taxation, with Neil Gorsuch extolling legislative process virtues. Trump lashes out at the justices, calling them 'fools' and 'lap dogs,' highlighting a growing tension between branches. Meanwhile, cases like birthright citizenship and election laws loom large on the court's docket. Internationally, South Korea's ex-president receives a life sentence for insurrection, and France's Giselle Pelicote inspires with her fight against sexual violence. A First Amendment win in Wisconsin reminds us of the enduring power of free speech.
