Supreme Court Agrees To Hear Critical Case Following Trump Administration’s Appeal

Trump appealed a lower court ruling that said he exceeded his authority by using emergency powers to enact tariffs.
The high court scheduled oral arguments to take place in the first week of November.

CNN provided further info:
The case puts a major component of the American economy on the conservative court’s docket. And it raises a fundamental question about the power of the president to levy emergency tariffs absent explicit approval from Congress.
The Supreme Court said it would hear arguments in the case during the first week of November.
A decision would normally be expected by the end of June. But in this case, the court said it would expedite review.
The case follows a divided decision in late August from a federal appeals court in Washington that found Trump overstepped his authority by relying on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose the tariffs. The power to impose taxes, including tariffs, is “a core congressional power” that the Constitution left to the legislative branch, the appeals court ruled.
The tariffs will remain in place while the court hears the case.

More from The Guardian:
Trump has made tariffs a key foreign policy tool, using them to renegotiate trade deals, extract concessions and exert political pressure on other countries.
Trump in April invoked the 1977 law in imposing tariffs on goods imported from individual countries to address trade deficits, as well as separate tariffs announced in February as economic leverage on China, Canada and Mexico to curb the trafficking of fentanyl and illicit drugs into the US.
The law gives the president power to deal with “an unusual and extraordinary threat” amid a national emergency. It historically had been used for imposing sanctions on enemies or freezing their assets. Prior to Trump, the law had never been used to impose tariffs.
Trump’s Department of Justice has argued that the law allows tariffs under emergency provisions that authorize a president to “regulate” imports.
“The stakes in this case could not be higher,” the justice department said in a filing. Denying Trump’s tariff power “would expose our nation to trade retaliation without effective defenses and thrust America back to the brink of economic catastrophe”, it added.
Trump has said that if he loses the case, the US might have to unwind trade deals, causing the country to “suffer so greatly”.
The nonpartisan congressional budget office reported in August that the increased duties on imports from foreign countries could reduce the US national deficit by $4tn over the next decade.
