(DCNF)—George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Friday that the Supreme Court’s ruling against the Trump administration and its use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs was hardly shocking.
The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on Friday that the IEEPA does not authorize President Donald Trump to impose tariffs, holding that the statute’s phrase “regulate importation” does not include the distinct and extraordinary power to levy tariffs absent explicit congressional approval. Turley said on “The Ingraham Angle” that even a “marvelous” defense from the solicitor general could not overcome the Supreme Court’s textual reading of IEEPA.
“The odds were against the president in this appeal. Some of these conservative justices historically take a more textual approach to statutes. They did not see the clear authority under IEEPA, and there were good faith arguments on both sides,” Turley said. “I actually thought the solicitor general of the United States did an extraordinary job in oral argument. I thought that he was marvelous and it ultimately didn’t carry the day, but that’s what most of us thought would be the outcome.”
Turley said the ruling does not spell the end of Trump’s broader tariff strategy. He said the administration anticipated the result and prepared accordingly.
“I expect the administration was well prepared for this. It’s not a welcomed result, but it’s not an unanticipated result. The key is that this doesn’t mean the checks in the mail, as you noted for refunds,” Turley said. “It also does not mean that these tariffs are going to fall away. The president has used tariffs as part of his foreign policy.”
Turley said that the President’s approach will continue regardless of the Court’s limitation.
“He’s also used it to secure a series of favorable trade deals, including one just in the last 24 hours with Indonesia, and I don’t think that is going to change either. And so there are aspects of the result here that the president can take some solace in,” Turley added. “The court clearly recognizes he has tariff authority under other laws. What he does not have is the easier route of IEEPA, but that’s not, I think, going to materially change his policies.”
Indonesia and the United States finalized a trade agreement Thursday that reduces U.S. tariffs on Indonesian goods to 19% from 32% after nearly a year of negotiations. Trump imposed the reciprocal tariffs last year, arguing they were necessary to counter non-tariff barriers that disadvantaged American exports.
Trump rolled out tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico in February, tying the move to the fentanyl crisis, then expanded the effort in April with a new round of trade measures that imposed a 10% baseline duty on imports and increased rates depending on each country’s trade posture with the United States.
In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a lower court decision blocking the policy. The Supreme Court later agreed to review the case, hearing oral arguments in November.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
