Neal Katyal on Arguing Against the Tariffs at the Supreme Court: They Strongly Said Trump’s Tariffs Policy Is Illegal

RUSH EXCERPT:KATYAL: "Yeah. So the court I think today really strongly said President Trump’s tariffs policy is unconstitutional and illegal. They said look, if you want to get tariffs, the way to do it is to go to Congress and ask for authorization. And so, you know, it’s not a decision about any particular president. It’s a decision about the presidency. And the chief justice, writing for six justices, used very strong language about the president saying to the president, saying, you know, the Constitution requires you to get this affirmative approval of the Congress, and you can’t just do this on your own. In America, the stroke of the president’s pen is not enough to impose taxes on the American people, and tariffs are nothing else but taxes, the chief justice said. And I think it’s notable that this decision wasn’t just written by some group of lefty justices, to the extent there even are any. It was written and joined by six justices, including two justices appointed by Donald Trump himself, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. Both of them sang in full that these tariffs were unconstitutional. And so, you know, when I presented the argument to the Supreme Court on November 5th, I made about six key points. Every single one of those six points was accepted 100% by all six justices today on the Supreme Court."
