Scott Jennings, President and Chief Operating Officer of PSEG Long Island, appeared on CNN on March 13, 2026, to discuss a Supreme Court ruling on tariffs. Jennings described the ruling as an example of "properly functioning government," stating that the president made a policy decision, the Supreme Court ruled against it, and the president acknowledged the decision and said he would use a different statute. Jennings said the idea that the Supreme Court "belongs to Trump" was "obliterated today." During the segment, Jennings also discussed the economic impact of tariffs, citing a Congressional Budget Office report that he said showed U.S. businesses would absorb 30% of import price increases through profit margins and pass 70% on to consumers. He characterized the net effect as raising consumer prices by the full portion of costs borne domestically, 95%. Jennings also offered a theory that the Trump administration chose a particular trade authority because it had the fewest requirements, allowing tariff rates to be changed with a "stroke of a pen."
