Trump tariff case gets fast tracked by Supreme Court

Driving the news: The high court granted the Trump administration's request to both take the appeal and consider it on an accelerated schedule.

• The court's order gave both sides until Sept. 19 to file their initial briefs, with oral arguments set for the first week of the November session.

Catch up quick: The Court of International Trade ruled in May that Trump did not have the authority he claimed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping global tariffs.

• An appellate court upheld that ruling at the end of August.

The big picture: Trump has said losing the case would "literally destroy" the United States. Other administration figures have echoed that sort of dire language.
