At least two of the Court’s Republicans — Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — appeared very likely to join the three Democratic justices in striking down Trump's tariffs, and they will likely be joined by Chief Justice John Roberts. That leaves three votes for Trump, but it's not enough.

“This level of attack is unsustainable for Chicagoans.”
President Trump claimed that crime-afflicted Black residents begged him to intervene in Chicago. Six weeks into the crackdown, the attack on crime that he promised hasn’t happened, and many in the city’s Black population haven’t been won over.
