TARIFFS: Harder Calls on Supreme Court to Strike Down Tariffs, Urges Congress to Act

November 5, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON – Today, as the U.S. Supreme Court considers overturning skyhigh tariffs, Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) released the following statement urging the Court to deliver immediate price relief by striking down tariffs and called on Washington to pass his plan to bring long-term price stability. Today’s hearing will decide whether to uphold lower court rulings that the President cannot unilaterally impose broad tariffs, with a decision expected in the coming weeks. “Make no mistake – these reckless tariffs are the largest tax hike on working families in decades, raising the price of everything from groceries to cars to clothes for your kids,” said Rep. Harder . “Families are already stretched to the limit. The Supreme Court should shut down this tariff insanity and give families some much-needed breathing room. But we can’t just play defense against rising prices. Congress needs to pass my plan to restore common-sense trade policy and deliver lasting affordability for Valley families.” Valley products still facing major tariff increases: Ground coffee hit a record high of $9.14 following a 50% tariff on Brazil imports. Tomatoes are up to $2.18/lb with a 17% tariff on Mexico imports. Potash fertilizer, 80% of which comes from Canada , are facing a 10% tariff. Canadian provinces continue to ban American alcohol imports, hurting Valley wineries. Average jacket and outerwear prices are up 24% following tariffs from places like Vietnam. New cars are now nearly $50,000 and used cars are more than $25,000 due to 15-25% auto product tariffs. Harder also called on congressional leaders to deliver long-term price and trade stability by passing his 3-step tariff plan: Restore Trade Sanity — Harder is championing legislation to return Congress’ constitutionally authorized role in setting and approving U.S. trade policy. Clear Labels — Harder is also supporting a bill to uncover exactly how tariffs are affecting prices. New trade deals — Harder is calling on the U.S. Trade Representative to prioritize new trade deals as soon as possible to give long-term stability to consumers and businesses. ### Issues : Costs
