Tariffs on Trial: IEEPA and the Limits of Executive Power
Notas del episodio
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case challenging the use of emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs—setting the stage for a ruling that could reshape U.S. trade policy. This week, Elisa is joined by David Ross and Kelly Dunbar of Wilmer Hale to break down the Federal Circuit’s recent decision in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump. Together, they examine how the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) was invoked in defense of tariffs, the constitutional questions over Congress’s authority to tax and regulate commerce, and why the major questions doctrine may be pivotal as the case moves forward.
