Judge Williams of the Court of Federal Claims was obviously not amused when she set aside the agency's override of the automatic stay during the GAO protest proceedings in Cigna Gov't Services, LLC v. U.S. (Mar. 10, 2006) in a procurement for Medicare claims administration. In addition to finding the rationale of the agency inconsistent with the agency's testimony to Congress that the procurement had significant scheduling flexibility, she found the override determination failed to consider several relevant factors, such as the cost of termination if GAO determines that the agency made an illegal award.

SCOTUS Holds IEEPA Tariffs Unlawful
On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a pivotal ruling in Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, negating the President’s ability to impose tariffs under IEEPA. The case stemmed from President Trump’s invocation of IEEPA to levy tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries, citing national emergencies.

The power to tariff is vested in Congress by the Constitution and cannot be delegated to the President absent express authority from Congress.
