"The Supreme Court has clarified the scope of IEEPA, and that clarification matters," Hurd posted Friday on X. "Article I assigns Congress the authority to regulate commerce with foreign nations and to impose tariffs. Major trade decisions should rest on clear statutory authority, not expansive emergency interpretations."
Hurd wrote that while he shares Trump’s broader trade goals, "Strong trade enforcement must be grounded in durable legal footing."
"If tariffs are necessary, Congress should debate them and vote on them directly. That is how our constitutional system is designed to function," Hurd said.

"Taking back an Endorsement is a difficult decision for me. I have only done it once before, with a former Congressman named Mo Brooks, from Alabama… These are the decisions that must be made, however, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
Earlier Saturday, Trump announced he was raising the global tariff rate from 10% to 15% following a 6-3 Supreme Court decision blocking his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
"Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday … I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff … to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level," Trump wrote.
The order was issued under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Trump called the ruling "deeply disappointing," saying he was "ashamed" of certain members of the court.
Trump praised Hope Scheppelman as a "distinguished Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, and a brave U.S. Navy Veteran, who knows the America First Policies required…" and concluded, "unlike RINO Jeff Hurd, HOPE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"
