The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to fast-track a legal challenge to President Donald Trump's tariffs. 

The New York Post reports that the justices released their decision in the matter on Friday.

The legal challenge, of course, will continue, just at a much slower rate than the challengers want, which is why this is being considered a win for Trump and his administration.

The details

The legal challenge comes from Learning Resources, a company that makes educational toys.

Newsweek reports, "In the initial challenge, the company argued that Trump had illegally imposed tariffs under an emergency powers law that bypassed Congress, which alone holds the authority to enact tariffs."

The company, according to the outlet, got an early legal victory in the case.

Newsweek writes:

Chicago-based toy companies, including Learning Resources Inc., challenged Trump's tariffs and scored an early win in the lower courts; however, the administration has appealed the decision, which is pending in the appeals courts.

This is a slower process, which is why the companies recently asked the Supreme Court to speed the case up.

The latest

Newsweek reports, "The companies, in a bid to find a quick resolution and relief from the tariffs, filed an appeal with the Supreme Court to take up the case ahead of any decision from an appeals court."

The justices, however, have refused to grant the companies' request.

CNBC reports:

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request from two toy companies to expedite their challenge to President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The ruling from the nation’s high court means that the Trump administration now has the standard 30-day window to file its response to the challenge.

Learning Resources' chairman, Rick Woldenberg, has released a statement on the matter, saying that he "was a disappointment." He, however, referred to the high court's decision as "just another twist in the road." He added, "You want to win every motion but sometimes you don’t. Ultimately, this showdown will be at the Supreme Court."

Indeed, the case is likely to end up at the Supreme Court at some point in the future. The question is just when, and the answer is after the appellate court's decision. In the meantime, Trump is allowed to continue imposing his tariffs.
