Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

Neal Katyal son of immigrants went to SCOTUS won & overturned tariffs, Alysa Liu, daughter of an immigrant, went Olympics & won gold. Winners representing a fraction of the myriad contributions to American society made every damn day by immigrants. Diversity is our strength USA.

«Today, the U.S. Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people." Neal Katyal

Opinion | This strategic blunder could swing the Supreme Court tariffs case For Trump’s challengers, a conservative lawyer’s arguments might have the best chance of success.

This aged well.

This case has always been about the presidency, not any one president. It has always been about separation of powers, and not the politics of the moment. I'm gratified to see our Supreme Court, which has been the bedrock of our government for 250 years, protect our most fundamental values.

Finally, I lack the words to properly thank my brilliant Milbank team, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak and Sami Ilagan, who worked with me day and night for many months to craft the winning argument.

I'm also grateful to the five small business owners who stood up against these unjust, unconstitutional taxes. By taking a stand, they have delivered crucial relief to tens of thousands of businesses and millions of consumers across the country.

I’m grateful for the leadership of the Liberty Justice Center, and in particular for the brilliant advocacy by its chair, Sara Albrecht, who led the fight when others wouldn’t and was dauntless in its defense of our constitutional order.

The US Supreme Court gave us everything we asked for in our legal case. Everything.

My statement: 
“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people.

"Presidents are powerful, but our constitution is more powerful still."

Former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who argued against Trump's  tariffs before the Supreme Court, reacts to the ruling that the Court rejects Trump's authority to impose tariffs.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

A special bonus episode of “Burn Order” is now available exclusively for MS NOW Premium subscribers. Rachel Maddow speaks to former Acting Solicitor General of the U.S. Neal Katyal about his “confession of error” in 2011, which formally acknowledged wrongdoing on the part of the Justice Department.

Earlier today, Neal Katyal argued against the government before the U.S. Court of Appeals challenging Donald Trump's tariff power. He compares the government's arguments to a "shell game."

Liberty Justice Center and I are pleased to announce that Neal Katyal and Michael McConnell - prominent legal scholars and Supreme Court litigators from opposite sides of political spectrum - are joining our tariff litigation team. An honor to have them with us: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Defendants’ Response to Interrogatory No. 1: Defendants object to Interrogatory No. 1 as based on the false premise that the United States can or has been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador. See Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.—, slip op. at 2 (holding Defendants should “take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United State”) (emphasis added). Defendants further object to Interrogatory No. 1 as calling for information that is protected by the attorney-client privilege, the deliberative process privilege, the state secrets privilege, and the governmental privilege. Defendants incorporate their objections to definitions and objections to instructions.

I am utterly baffled by the highlighted part, which isn't even a quote from the Supreme Court's order. What are they doing?!

This is quite incredible. The US Justice Dept, under Trump, is defending its birthright citizenship Order by arguing that immigrant children covered by the Order cannot be citizens because... the children of Native Americans aren't US citizens.

Opinion | Trump’s proposal to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional Despite what the president says or wishes, the words of the 14th Amendment have meaning that cannot be wished away.

A special privilege&joy to second chair @NAGZelinsky’s 1st Supreme Court argument, and to do it alongside the great ZoeJacoby, my former @HoganLovells researcher (also her first SCOTUS argument). We represented the family of a driver who was shot and killed by a police officer.
