Comedian John Mulaney was in attendance during the Supreme Court’s discussion over President Donald Trump imposing sweeping tariffs on countries around the world. “Cheap seats but a great show,” Mulaney said in a post on X. “My dear friend John ... is a serious public intellectual with a deep interest in law and American civics,” Akhil Reed Amar, a Yale Law School professor, told Business Insider. “So it is unsurprising that he would want to attend one of the biggest Supreme Court oral arguments of our time — especially because his close friend Neal Katyal was center stage today, so to speak.” Katyal argued on behalf of two groups of companies that challenged the legality of the tariffs Trump imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. Katyal, per the report, said at an event in June that he was working with Mulaney on a television show.
