(NAFB.com) – Multiple reports say that President Donald Trump’s tariffs were met by a skeptical Supreme Court this week. The Wall Street Journal said the justices expressed their doubts that a 1977 emergency powers law provided the president with the unilateral ability to “remake the international economy” and collect billions in import taxes without Congressional approval. The Supreme Court did recognize the significant economic stakes surrounding its decision and fast-tracked the administration’s appeal once three lower courts had struck down the tariffs. Solicitor General John Sauer faced pushback from all sides as he pushed the administration’s arguments that the president had the authority to impose tariffs after declaring an emergency. A majority of the justices agreed that tariffs were taxes. Many also agreed that Congress wouldn’t casually surrender its constitutional duty to raise revenue. A decision typically takes three to six months, but experts say the tariff ruling will certainly come much sooner.
