In a 6-to-3 decision, the Supreme Court has struck down most of President Trump’s tariffs. Loyola University law professor Dane Ciolino says this is one of the most significant opinions by the Supreme Court in decades.
Cut 3 (10) “…reach its opinion.”
Specifically, the court ruled that Trump did not have the broad authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to unilaterally impose tariffs; he would have had to go through Congress to do so. Ciolino says this decision is final and will cost the Trump administration billions of dollars in refunds.
Ciolino says while many of the tariffs were ultimately passed onto the consumer, there were some direct importers who paid the tariffs and took possession of those tariffed goods.

Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser has made cleaning up litter one of his big priorities. Nungesser says the state recently hired a litter expert to assess the state’s litter problem.
Nungesser says part of that mission is instilling the values of properly disposing of litter at a young age, so the state has launched new programs in schools aimed at doing so.
Cut 7 (07) “…video you watch.”
Nungesser says Louisiana has been so effective in cleaning up litter, the Keep America Beautiful Conference is coming to New Orleans.

And Keim says Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week next week.
Cut 11 (11) “…the southern reaches.”
Then after Tuesday, temperatures will start to pick back up again, getting back up to normal for this time of year.
