How the call settles

Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson all vote against upholding the IEEPA tariffs.

Our reasoning

YES on the research record because Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson were all in the 6-3 majority striking down the IEEPA tariffs on Feb. 20, 2026; Kagan wrote for the three concluding the president simply lacked tariff authority under IEEPA's plain text. All three voted against the administration.. Applied stored rule: Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson all vote against upholding the IEEPA tariffs.
