flag Comedian John Mulaney backed a Supreme Court case challenging Trump’s broad tariffs, arguing Congress must authorize emergency powers.

flag Comedian John Mulaney attended a Supreme Court hearing on President Trump’s tariffs, supporting his friend Neal Katyal, a former U.S. flag Solicitor General, who argued that Congress must clearly authorize presidential use of emergency powers for broad tariffs. flag The case, which challenges the legality of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, drew high-level officials and justices skeptical of expansive executive authority. flag Justices questioned the administration’s interpretation, with some noting tariffs are effectively taxes, a power Congress holds. flag Mulaney, a longtime legal enthusiast with ties to Yale Law, has collaborated with Katyal on a TV project inspired by "The West Wing" and requested an amicus brief ahead of the hearing. flag The Court is expected to rule soon.
