The battle over President Donald Trump’s tariffs has reached the Supreme Court. Two educational toy companies, Learning Resources and Hand2Mind, are urging the justices to intervene, arguing the tariffs overstep the President’s authority.

This legal challenge stems from lawsuits filed in the District of Columbia, with other toy companies pursuing similar cases in the Court of International Trade. While lower courts have temporarily blocked rulings against Trump, these companies are seeking a definitive Supreme Court decision.

In a June 17th petition, Learning Resources and Hand2Mind directly challenge Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Their argument centers on the claim that IEEPA doesn’t grant the President the power to impose tariffs in the way he did. This case could have significant implications for the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches regarding trade policy.

The Supreme Court’s decision on whether or not to hear the case, and the eventual ruling if it does, will have major ramifications for businesses affected by these tariffs and the ongoing debate about presidential powers over trade.
