Gun Rights, Sports Bans, Tariffs — Key Supreme Court Rulings on the Horizon

The Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act could reshape presidential authority and impact tariffs that generated $195 billion in 2025.

  • After more than three months without a ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court could issue an opinion as soon as Friday, Feb. 20, on an expedited appeal involving President Donald Trump's tariffs.
  • After invoking emergency powers, Trump used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs and later added a universal 10% import tax.
  • Small businesses delayed shipments and boosted inventory—Busy Baby delayed a container and laid off family last year, according to the Main Street Alliance survey.
  • If the court rules against the administration, the U.S. could refund billions after import taxes pulled in $195 billion in 2025 and more than $130 billion collected so far, with $418 billion projected in 2026.
  • Experts warn a ruling for the president could expand unilateral trade authority and limit Congress after the House last week passed a congressional joint resolution to end the 35% tariff on Canadian goods.
