Concord, N.H. — Today, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander released the following statement welcoming the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down President Trump’s unlawful tariffs and reaffirm Congress’s constitutional authority over taxation and trade:

“The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down President Trump’s unconstitutional tariffs is a victory for hardworking Granite Staters who have been paying the painful price of chaotic and corrupt trade wars. We are not a country governed by one man’s whims. We are a nation of laws, and I will keep fighting to lower costs and to ensure that no President can act like a king.”

Goodlander, a former clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer and Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, is a member of the U.S. House Rapid Response and Litigation Task Force. She has been a fierce advocate against unlawful trade wars. She previously filed a legal brief before the Supreme Court challenging these costly and unlawful tariffs and helped lead two other successful legal briefs in this case before the Court of International Trade (CIT) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
