Conservative justices expressed skepticism of the strength of the Trump administration\u2019s position \u2013 key US politics stories from 5 November 2025
The conservative majority of United States supreme court justices has been widely criticized for granting Donald Trump<\/a> an increasing amount of leeway to wield his presidential power. On Wednesday, the court questioned one avenue of the president\u2019s authority: his ability to impose sweeping global tariffs.
Justices heard oral arguments<\/a> on the legality of the tariffs, with conservative justices expressing skepticism of the strength of the Trump administration\u2019s position.
\u201cThe vehicle is the imposition of taxes on Americans, and that has always been a core power of Congress,\u201d said Chief Justice John Roberts.
The arguments center on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, a 1977 law which in some circumstances grants the president authority to regulate or prohibit international transactions during a national emergency. Trump cited the law as he slapped steep duties on imports into the US.
About 40 legal briefs have been filed<\/a> in opposition to the tariffs, including from the US Chamber of Commerce, the largest business lobby group in the US.
The Trump administration<\/a> faced tough questions at the US supreme court over the legality of its sweeping global tariff regime, as justices expressed skepticism over the law it used to slap steep duties on almost every US trading partner.
Should the supreme court ultimately rule against Trump\u2019s tariffs it will force the White House to go back to the drawing board and reconsider how to enforce an aggressive economic policy which has strained global trade ties.

Left-leaning Americans awoke to a rare recent moment of political celebration with Democratic victories in several elections across the country, led by the election of Zohran Mamdani<\/a> as the next mayor of New York<\/a>, while Republicans<\/a> breathlessly hailed the end of the country. Many Republicans\u2019 immediate reaction was to attribute Mamdani\u2019s win to an electorate overrepresented by immigrants, snidely implying they were not \u201creal\u201d Americans.
