What Happened
During President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, he notably snubbed Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan. This incident occurred shortly after Trump publicly criticized the Supreme Court justices who ruled against his tariffs, labeling some as ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘disloyal to our Constitution.’
Why It Matters
The Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn many of Trump’s tariffs has significant political implications, highlighting divisions within the Republican Party. Trump’s remarks and behavior towards Barrett, who is part of the court’s conservative majority, raise questions about the relationship between the executive branch and the judiciary.
What’s Next
As the political landscape evolves, the dynamics between Trump and the Supreme Court justices may continue to be scrutinized. Observers will be watching for any further comments from Barrett or other justices regarding their interactions with the former president.
