Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Temporary Restraining Order, and Summary Judgement in Our Case Against Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs
Today, the Liberty Justice Center and I filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, and summary judgment in our case challenging Donald Trump’s massive “Liberation Day” tariffs. The motion sets out our arguments in greater detail than the complaint filed on Monday. For a shorter and more accessible overview of the reasons why these tariffs are illegal, see my just-published Lawfare article “The Constitutional Case Against Trump’s Trade War.” The case is entitled VOS Selections, Inc. v. Trump.
We are litigating the case (pro bono) on behalf of five US businesses that import goods from many of the countries targeted by the tariffs. As explained in today’s motion, the new tariffs are inflicting grave harm on them, and in at least some cases threaten their viability.
In earlier posts, previewed our key arguments and explained why Trump’s partial pause of the tariffs does not end the madness or obviate the need to challenge this usurpation of legislative power in court.
