Trump Appeals Tariff Ruling — Supreme Court to Decide If President Overstepped

The Trump administration has filed both an appeal and a motion to expedite with the U.S. Supreme Court over its sweeping tariffs. Lower courts — the Court of International Trade in May and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in August — ruled the tariffs unlawful, saying the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not give the president authority to impose broad import taxes. Now, Solicitor General D. John Sauer wants the justices to fast-track the case so oral arguments could begin as early as November. At issue: whether the president overstepped, or whether Congress intended to grant such sweeping power. The Supreme Court will likely apply the major questions doctrine — the same legal test used to strike down Biden’s student loan forgiveness program — to decide if Trump’s tariffs pass constitutional muster. 👉 Do you think SCOTUS will side with Trump, or strike down the tariffs for good?
