U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Expedited Arguments on Tariffs
The U.S. Supreme Court has set an expedited schedule to hear appeals of two lower court rulings that held that Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were illegal; game trade organization GAMA has filed an amicus brief opposing the tariffs in the case.
The Trump administration has argued that an emergency exists that allows the President to enact tariffs without further approval from Congress; in Trump v. V.O.S. Selections and Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, lower courts held that the statute does not grant the President those powers. The Trump administration has appealed both cases, and the U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled consolidated oral arguments for November…
The GAMA brief, filed on GAMA’s behalf by the New Civil Liberties Alliance, a non-profit formed “…to protect constitutional freedoms from violations by the Administrative State” (per their mission statement), concludes its arguments with a clear statement of the goal: “The Court should hold that the President has no authority under IEEPA to impose any tariffs.”
