Jackley Meets with President Trump’s Legal Team
WASHINGTON, DC: Just seven days from South Dakota’s historic U.S. Supreme Court tax fairness case, Attorney General Marty Jackley is meeting with President Donald Trump’s legal team.
The meeting at the Department of Justice gives Jackley and the Office of the Solicitor General an opportunity to outline their strategy for SD v Wayfair.
“We’re extremely grateful that President Trump has joined our coalition of 45 attorneys general to level the playing field for Main Street,” Jackley said. “We argued in our final brief yesterday that the revenue lost during out-of-state internet transactions is enough to add nearly $1,000 in education funding for every public high school student in the country—that directly impacts South Dakota.”
Jackley will have 15 minutes to present South Dakota’s case next Tuesday, followed by 10 minutes from the Solicitor General and 30 minutes from out-of-state retailers. Five minutes will be reserved for rebuttal by Jackley.
Both Trump and his Director of the National Economic Council Larry Kudlow have maintained that a favorable ruling for South Dakota would level the playing field for Main Street businesses.

I am as Republican as it gets but not the greatest headline this week…ouch!
Oh my gosh — who is running this campaign? Can you be any more tone deaf with a headline when you are trying to attract female (ostensibly Noem) GOP voters. What a moron. If this idea was an outside consultant, fire him or her. If it was a staff member; reassign them. If it was the candidate or campaign manager’s idea, it portends bigger problems ahead.
Was this before or after the FBI kicked down the door 😂
Silly Noem trolls, pretty sure this press release won’t end up in Wayfairs argument against our state like Noem’s did. Krisit couldn’t stand Jackley taking the lead on this issue so she sent out a press release criticizing Marty’s effort…it was so stupid she ended up being quoted in the Wayfair brief to hurt SDs case. Thanks a lot Kristi.
That’s not true. She sent a brief to the Court explicitly asking it to take up the SD case. You can support SD and also worry about the implications of what the Court decides. Noem’s not alone in her worry about a state tax free-for-all if Quill is overturned. Her bill would place guardrails on that activity, but the Court can’t.
Marty could potentially be responsible for unleashing states to tax and regulate across their borders, and even allowing retroactive taxing. We won’t get the Court’s decision before the primary, but I’m not sure how popular Marty will be when big coastal Democrat states announce audits of South Dakota companies thanks to his efforts.
Wait, is this all a joke? I mean, the corny photo on the SCOTUS steps. What happened to his eyes? So serious they disappeared! Looks more like a tourist. Then, that FB video? Seriously? This guy wants to be governor? Or middle school secretary? Hard to tell.
“President Trump’s Legal Team” is not only politically tone deaf, it’s also inaccurate. Jackley met with the U.S. Solicitor General and other officials of the U.S. Department of Justice.
These federal government officials comprise part of the U.S. government’s legal team and are part of the federal government, not beholden to a particular person or political party.
Is this Jackley’s headline or Pat’s. Maybe Kristi wrote it?
Ok, so I know both candidates have worked on the sales tax issue and I understand why it needs to be fixed, but it’s just terrible optics. I’d love to see them both drop it. I think Noem realizes that because she has been focusing on other things. She didn’t get a bill passed, but honestly, I think that’s going to be a blessing in disguise as Marty makes this issue the centerpiece of his campaign. The average conservative’s opinion on this topic differs significantly from opinions in Pierre. At least Kristi has proven work on actually cutting taxes through tax reform. Marty seems only to be working on making folks pay more taxes. What’s he going to say? “You’re welcome, South Dakotans – I have allowed New York and California to audit you for retroactive taxes!”
This photo looks like it’s the cover for an album of soft emotional guitar music
The one that got me was how he said in the last time they used this picture that is was
THE FIGHT OF OUR TIME
I can think of so many things that would qualify more as the fight of our time than a tax enforcement case….like the war on radical Islamic terrorism
If you click on the “meeting” highlighted part you see a little video of Jackley…didn’t notice that till now
Yeah it shows Marty standing on the steps of the DOJ for political purposes. I didn’t know it was ok to engage in electioneering on federal property?
