"Solicitor General D. John Sauer asked the justices to take up the case and hear arguments in early November. "That decision casts a pall of uncertainty upon ongoing foreign negotiations that the President has been pursuing through tariffs over the past five months, jeopardizing both already negotiated framework deals and ongoing negotiations," he wrote. "The stakes in this case could not be higher.""
"But the stakes are also high for small businesses battered by tariffs and uncertainty, said Jeffrey Schwab, senior counsel and director of litigation at the Liberty Justice Center. "These unlawful tariffs are inflicting serious harm on small businesses and jeopardizing their survival. We hope for a prompt resolution of this case for our clients," he said. The businesses have twice prevailed, once at a federal court focused on trade and again with the appeals court's 7-4 ruling."
"The Trump administration took the fight over tariffs to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, asking the justices to rule quickly that the president has the power to impose sweeping import taxes under federal law. The government called on the court to reverse an appeals court ruling that found most of President Donald Trump's tariffs are an illegal use of an emergency powers law."
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to rule swiftly that the president can impose broad import tariffs under federal law, seeking reversal of an appeals court decision that found most tariffs an illegal use of an emergency powers statute. Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged early November arguments, warning that the appeals court ruling creates uncertainty for ongoing foreign negotiations and jeopardizes tariff-driven negotiations and deals. Small businesses and trade-focused plaintiffs say the tariffs inflict serious harm and have prevailed twice in lower courts, including a 7-4 Federal Circuit ruling, while the tariffs remain in place pending further review.
