Illinois Quick Hits: Pritzker wants tariffs refund after court ruling
(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker says President Donald Trump owes the families of Illinois and the United States about $2,000 per household for the illegal tariffs he imposed.
Pritzker’s comments came after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the power to levy taxes and duties on Americans rests solely with Congress.
The Liberty Justice Center said the ruling confirms that the president cannot invoke emergency powers to unilaterally set tariff rates.
