Petition for certiorari denied on June 22, 2020
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
19-1177 Fed. Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2019

Issue: Whether Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, is facially unconstitutional on the ground that it lacks any boundaries that confine the president’s discretion to impose tariffs on imported goods and, therefore, constitutes an improper delegation of legislative authority and a violation of the principle of separation of powers established by the Constitution.
