Learning Resources Inc. wanted the justices to take up the case
soon, rather than let it continue to play out in lower courts.
The company argues the tariffs and uncertainty are having a
“massive impact” on businesses around the country and the issue
needs swift attention from the nation's highest court.
The justices didn't explain their reasoning in the brief order
rebuffing the motion to fast-track the issue, but the Supreme
Court is typically reluctant to take up cases before lower
courts have decided.
An appeals court is set to hear the case in late July.
The company argues that the Republican president illegally
imposed tariffs under an emergency powers law, bypassing
Congress. It won an early victory in a lower court, but the
order is on hold as an appeals court considers a similar ruling
putting a broader block on Trump’s tariffs. The appeals court
has allowed Trump to continue collecting tariffs under the
emergency powers law for now.
The Trump administration has defended the tariffs by arguing
that the emergency powers law gives the president the authority
to regulate imports during national emergencies and that the
country’s longtime trade deficit qualifies as a national
emergency.
