AI Summary

long article 4 min

Three months after a quickly scheduled hearing, the Supreme Court has yet to rule on President Trump's tariffs, despite the administration's initial urgency. Arguments were heard in November, with Trump's lawyers emphasizing the need for a swift decision to avoid economic disruption. The delay has led to speculation, though legal experts suggest the timeline is now typical and could reflect internal debate among the justices. The court's silence doesn't necessarily indicate a specific outcome, but potentially suggests a divided court or the drafting of dissenting opinions. The Supreme Court's decision-making process can be slowed by separate opinions, as seen in other recent cases argued in October.
