Neal Katyal: Indian-American Lawyer Who Challenged Trump's Tariffs in US Supreme Court
•US Supreme Court overturned Donald Trump’s tariffs, ruling he overstepped legal authority without Congressional approval.
•Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General, argued against Trump's use of the 1977 IEEPA for 'unjust, unconstitutional taxes'.
•Katyal emphasized the ruling upheld the rule of law and the Constitution's power over presidential authority, calling it a 'constitutional milestone'.
•Born to Indian immigrant parents, Katyal has argued over 50 Supreme Court cases, including defending the Voting Rights Act and challenging Trump's 2017 travel ban.
•Trump criticized the SC ruling as 'ridiculous' and announced a new 10 percent global tariff on imports from all countries.
