Trump administration asks Supreme Court to quickly take up tariffs case after appeals court loss
The Trump administration seeks a swift Supreme Court ruling to uphold tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act amid legal challenges from states and businesses.
- On August 29, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled 7-4 that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority under IEEPA and delayed striking down tariffs until Oct. 14.
- President Donald Trump imposed sweeping reciprocal tariffs country-by-country in April, including a 25% fentanyl-related tariff, broadly targeting trading partners despite criticism by 12 Democrat-led states.
- Five businesses, including V.O.S. Selections Inc., sued over emergency-law tariffs that raised $159 billion by late August and will cost the average American household $2,400 in 2025, Yale's Budget Lab found.
- Wednesday night the administration asked the Supreme Court to intervene quickly, filing a petition and motion to expedite while U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer sought early-November arguments and warned refunds could harm the U.S. Treasury.
- The case could define executive power for years to come, with the U.S. Supreme Court's term starting Oct. 6 and a Sept. 10 decision deadline amid its 6-3 conservative majority .
