Pretty sure our Global Trade and Compliance Lead is working on his 3rd heart attack in the last 14 months or so

In before one of our three resident court clerks claims "this isn't the win you think it is."

Now, take the judge that blocked them and send him back to law school until he learns the law and the Constitution. Or Gitmo.

Who was the first to tell you how dumb that lawsuit and ruling was? Me. Thats who

The argument was that since Trump was ruled by the Supremes not to be able to use an emergency act as a reason to assign tariffs, then he couldnt switch those tariffs to any other act either

Then we got the gift of Roger coming back at the same time. And him being wrong yet again

I am seeing they temporarily paused a ruling.

Xi’s welcome will be cordial. He knows Trump can’t be played.

So they struck down the United States Supreme Court?

The argument in this case is that we do not have a large "balance of payments" deficit with other countries that enables POTUS to impose tarrifs under section 122(a) of the Trade Act. The whole opinion hinges on what Congress meant by "balance of payments deficits" when the act was passed in the 70s.

I have no guess how the Federal Circuit will rule. The majority and dissenting opinions in the CIT both made good points.
