US EditionA toy maker takes his case against Trump's tariffs to the Supreme Court
- On Nov. 5, 2025, the Woldenberg family and company executives will travel to Washington, D.C., to present their case before the U.S. Supreme Court in Learning Resources v. Trump.
- Earlier this year, the administration imposed reciprocal tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 with a 10% baseline, while plaintiffs argue Congress did not intend IEEPA to authorize tariffs and three lower courts ruled the tariffs exceeded Donald Trump, President's lawful authority.
- Company executives cut expansion after tariffs spiked to 145%, forcing Learning Resources to cancel a 600,000-square-foot expansion and cut hiring, with CEO Rick Woldenberg saying `I predicted we'd be smaller and make less money`.
- The justices will hear oral arguments next Wednesday but may take weeks or months to rule, with the company's lawsuit combined with two others from Oregon and other Democratic-led states and Liberty Justice Center representing five small businesses.
- Analysts note about a dozen small businesses and 700 others signed an amicus brief opposing tariffs that have netted about $100 billion, while large U.S. companies stayed sidelined.
