Supreme Court’s Conservatives Face a Test of Their Own in Judging Trump’s Tariffs
Neal Katyal represents small businesses challenging the legality of tariffs imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which affect US and global trade.
- On Wednesday, November 5, the United States Supreme Court will hear challenges to President Donald Trump's tariff policy, with Neal Katyal representing small businesses led by VOS Selections.
- The dispute centers on the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act after a Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 7-4 ruling found Trump exceeded his authority.
- Two consolidated plaintiff groups, including VOS Selections, New York-based wine importer, chose Neal Katyal by coin toss to present their case, with Liberty Justice Centre representing them.
- The outcome could redefine presidential tariff limits and affect global trade; the US Justice Department has urged the Court to reverse lower rulings, with oral arguments lasting 80 minutes and a ruling expected early next year.
- Global trading partners and US businesses will watch the ruling closely, as Neal Katyal has argued more than 50 Supreme Court cases and served as acting Solicitor General.
