The Court declined to hear challenges to the administration's tariff authority — the trade policy regime is now legally settled for this term.
Reuters reported the cert denial as a brief legal update.
X's trade policy community called the denial 'the end of the legal road' — tariffs are now a political question, not a judicial one.
The Supreme Court denied certiorari on Friday in two consolidated cases challenging the administration's tariff authority under Section 301 and Section 232, effectively settling the legal question for this term. The tariffs — covering approximately $370 billion in Chinese goods and $18 billion in steel and aluminum — will remain in effect. [1]
