Following the invalidation of most of the levies that are at the heart of the Republican president’s economic and trade agenda by a lower court, Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday requested that the US Supreme Court consider a request to maintain his expansive tariffs, which were sought under a 1977 statute intended for emergencies. The Justice Department challenged a federal appeals court’s August 29 decision that the president had overreached himself in using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, undermining a key Trump aim throughout his second term.
The tariffs are still in place as of right now since the appeals court postponed its ruling to allow the government to request Supreme Court review. The Justice Department requested a decision from the Supreme Court on whether to consider the case by September 10. Additionally, the Justice Department suggested a quicker timeline for the case’s resolution, with oral arguments scheduled for the first week of November—just one month after the court’s 2025–2026 term began.
Attorneys for small companies contesting the tariffs are not resisting the government’s request for a hearing before the Supreme Court. According to a statement from one of the lawyers, Jeffrey Schwab of Liberty Justice Center, they were sure they would win. We wish our customers a speedy settlement to this dispute,” Schwab stated.
