What to Know About Potential Tariff Refunds After Last Week's Supreme Court Ruling
The ruling invalidates tariffs imposed under IEEPA, affirming Congress's exclusive power to tax and prompting legal and trade shifts affecting billions of dollars, the court said.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs, finding International Emergency Economic Powers Act measures exceeded Congress's Article I, Section 8 authority, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and three liberals in the majority.
- Article III of the U.S. Constitution provides federal judges life tenure and salary protections, while the 1937 court‑packing plan with Franklin D. Roosevelt faced bipartisan resistance.
- The ruling opens the door for companies and importers to seek billions of dollars in potential tariff refunds, and Trump called it 'anti‑American and outrageous' while invoking Section 122 of the Trade Act to impose a 10% global tariff.
- Legal scholars say the ruling reaffirms separation of powers by underscoring that strong executive action remains subject to constitutional limits.
- Earlier rulings such as the 1935 Louisville Joint Stock Land Bank v. Radford invalidated emergency measures, while the failed 1937 court‑packing plan reinforced norms protecting a nine‑member Supreme Court.
