Supreme Court grants extra time for arguments in tariff case
The Supreme Court extended argument time to 80 minutes for a case on Trump's tariff authority under IEEPA, with tariffs raising over $200 billion this year, the Congressional Budget Office said.
- On Nov. 5, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear extended oral arguments—expanded to 80 minutes—in a case challenging President Donald Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- The dispute stems from President Donald Trump invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose import duties of at least 10% and announcing Lancaster "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, which challengers argue exceeds Congress's taxing power.
- The government will have 40 minutes, private businesses get 20 minutes, and Oregon-led states also receive 20 minutes, diverging from the usual 60-minute oral-argument tradition.
- The tariffs have generated about $200 billion this year, the Congressional Budget Office reports, while Federal government warnings say blocking them could force refunds totaling trillions and harm the U.S. Treasury.
- The case centers on two legal questions about IEEPA and delegation, with amicus briefs filed Friday by trade professors arguing Section 122 may provide an alternative authority, and Sauer describing it as 'complementary.
