Federal Trade Court Judges Elevate Themselves to the Presidency (Again), Rule That Trump Doesn't Have the Power to Set Tariffs as Joe Biden and Barack Obama Did
Update: Injunction Stayed, Tariffs Back On (For Now)

On May 15th, Deb Heine wrote a story for American Greatness reporting that three judges had been "hand-picked" to hear the case on Trump's tariffs -- judges who were guaranteed to overrule the elected President.

According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett "fixed" the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would "overrule the president" and render his tariffs "null and void."

That report:

Source: The Fix Is In to Torpedo Trump's Tariffs in New York Trade Court

By Debra Heine
May 15, 2025

The fix appears to be in for two court cases against President Donald Trump's tariffs, according to a very knowledgeable source.

Last month, five domestic businesses filed a lawsuit in a little known trade court in New York challenging Trump's tariffs, arguing they have to rely on imported goods that are not reasonably available to them in the U.S.

In his April 2 executive order imposing a set of reciprocal tariffs, Trump declared a national emergency, calling trade deficits a threat to the nation's national security and economy.

Trump's tariffs are central to his economic agenda and designed to reduce the trade deficits between the United States and other world powers.

A three-judge panel at the United States Court of International Trade in lower Manhattan heard arguments in the case Tuesday, and reportedly "appeared skeptical" of the president's arguments.

If the panel decides that Trump's emergency declaration was unlawful, it would effectively block the president's global tariffs and upend his economic agenda.

The chief judge of the United States Court of International Trade is Mark A Barnett, who joined the court in 2013 after a nomination from President Barack Obama. He became chief judge on April 6, 2021.

According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett "fixed" the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would "overrule the president" and render his tariffs "null and void."

The source told American Greatness he was given this information by "very reliable people" who are "very close to the court."


And what do you know -- the three hand-picked judges ruled exactly as The Regime wanted them to.

A federal court shot down most of President Trump's wide-reaching tariffs Wednesday, ruling the commander in chief exceeded his authority when he plowed ahead with one of his signature policies.

The three-judge panel at the Court of International Trade in Manhattan assailed Trump's actions against other countries across the globe as "contrary to law" -- despite the president claiming emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act allowed him to impose the controversial duties.

The court stated that Congress is typically responsible for issuing tariffs, not the president alone -- and that Trump's rationale for the exception to the rule didn't meet the emergency act threshold to act unilaterally.

"The President's assertion of tariff-making authority in the instant case, unbounded as it is by any limitation in duration or scope, exceeds any tariff authority delegated to the President under IEEPA," the judges determined.

"The Worldwide and Retaliatory tariffs are thus ultra vires and contrary to law."

And you'll never guess -- another district court judge issued another injunction blocking five of Trump's executive orders on tariffs.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., sided with a Chicago-area toy company on Thursday, blocking five executive orders signed by President Donald Trump that imposed tariffs on Chinese imports.

U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras determined the International Economic Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize Trump to impose the tariffs in his executive orders.

Contreras granted a motion for a preliminary injunction, filed by the toy company, Learning Resources, Inc., which will be stayed for 14 days in case the administration decides to appeal the decision.

Glenn Reynolds writes that the courts are creating the necessary predicate for Trump to go ahead and do what he has to do -- echo President Andrew Jackson and declare "The courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it."

In other words: F*** you, how many divisions do you have under your command?


Federal judges are working overtime to defy President Trump.

How much thought have they given to what happens if he defies them in turn?

So far, Trump has been obeying the court orders coming from mostly leftist federal district judges, even when those orders are deeply questionable.

Law professor Jonathan Turley calls it "injunctivitis," while Harvard Law's Adrian Vermeule says that district courts' nationwide restraining orders "are basically an automatic judicial veto on all new policy."

"Whatever form of government that is, let's please not call it 'democracy,' " Vermeule notes.

A new standing order in Maryland automatically blocks the deportation of any illegal alien whenever their lawyer files a petition -- before a judge even reviews it.

District Judge Allison Burroughs in Massachusetts blocked Trump's funding ban on Harvard almost the moment papers were filed. "Did she even read it, or was the rubber stamp already loaded?" one observer asked.

Clearly, a significant portion of the federal judiciary is hostile to Trump's policies and is happy to thwart them in any way it can.

Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho last week denounced his colleagues for acting like short-order cooks for the left.

"We should admit that this is special treatment being afforded to certain favored litigants . . . and we should stop pretending that Lady Justice is blindfolded," Ho wrote.

It all raises a question: What if Trump simply ignores these rulings?

He wouldn't be the first president to do so.

I mentioned earlier this week that Trump needs to do a sit-down Oval Office explainer of a speech justifying his tariff policies. As I mentioned in the comments, Reagan used an Oval Office speech to sell the country on his ambitious, "crazy" plan to spur the American economy by deeply slashing tax rates. He got his tax cuts, despite having a Congress controlled by big Democrat majorities in both houses.

Trump must make a similar appeal -- especially if he is now eyeing the extraordinary, though justified, action of last resort of simply telling the courts to go f*** themselves.

You can do a lot with the public on your side.

Update: H/t to TheJamesMadison, a federal judge has just reinstated the tariffs.


A federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated President Donald Trump's sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs as it considers the administration's request to leave the tariffs in place while litigation over their legality continues.

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an order Thursday afternoon granting "an immediate administrative stay" of a ruling Wednesday by the U.S. Court of International Trade that found Trump could not use emergency powers in an almost 50-year-old statute to impose tariffs on imports from countries around the globe.

The decision temporarily reimposes Trump's sweeping 10 percent global tariffs and the paused "reciprocal" tariffs that Trump imposed on more than 60 trading partners and has used as a leverage point in trade negotiations. It also applies to his 25 percent duties on Canadian and Mexican products and a 20 percent tariff on Chinese products in response to a purported national emergency on drug trafficking.

So, to explain again: The injunction wasn't issued after a trial, but just after a pre-trial "emergency" hearing. The injunction is made before the facts are heard, based on who judges think will win (read: want to win).

The Appeals Court stayed that injunction, putting it on hold.

The ultimate resolution will have to wait for, get this, a court actually hearing the full facts of the case.

9 For those (like me) who didn't know...
The court originated with the Customs Administrative Act of 1890, which established the Board of General Appraisers as a quasi-judicial entity of the U.S. Treasury Department tasked with hearing disputes primarily concerning tariffs and import duties.[3] In 1926, Congress replaced the Board with the United States Customs Court, an administrative tribunal with greater judicial functions, which in 1930 was made independent of the Treasury Department. In 1956, the U.S. Customs Court was reconstituted by Congress as an Article III tribunal, giving it the status and privileges of a federal court. The Customs Courts Act of 1980 established the U.S. Court of International Trade in its current form, granting it jurisdiction over all trade matters and conferring its judges with life tenure.[3] --Wikipedia

======

The three branches are not co-equal. Congress is more powerful than the presidency which is more powerful than the judiciary. The power the judiciary created to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional was created in a Supreme Court case.

Most of these lower courts don't even have jurisdiction to say anything about any of these cases. And then they blow things well beyond their actual jurisdiction to extend it nationwide.

The judiciary only has the power it has because the executive and Congress allows it. They absolutely do not inherently have almost any of the powers they assert.

well the main argument against it is that... it was just made-up entirely, invented out of whole cloth. Marshall claimed that it was Implicit -- unstated, but detectable in the penumbras and emanations -- that if a Court existed, it must have the power to rule whether laws and actions are constitutional, and also, that that power must be ultimate and uncheckable.

90 There are three branches of the federal government:

Executive
Legislative
Judicial

The Left lost control of the Executive and the Legislative in 2024, and they are freaking out. So they're doing something no one expected, because no one thought it possible: Using the last branch of government, the Judicial to try to regain control and seize power.

Because the Judicial is mostly is not populated by elected judges, the "people" have no way to vote them out.

The Founders knew on some level that judges could be corrupt, because they never imagined THIS level of treachery and bias.

This is becoming a huge deal, and coming to a head very quickly. If nothing is done to stop them, the Judicidial Branch will stage a coup and overthrow democracy.

Nor does it even take issue with Trump's authority to do what he did. The decision is really just "we don't like Trump so there." No wonder it got immediately stayed.

2. Markets barely reacted to the trade court's decision or the subsequent stay of their idiotic decision. Leftist twats were predicting a huge day in the markets today.

This may be true. It may be abuse of emergency power clause, but.

1. It is necessary to restore trade balance.
2. It is working.
3. Congress is incapable of accomplishing anything positive.
4. Look at where we are! Biden just imported 10s of millions of people to destroy the country and you are saying Trump is out of line when he stretches rules to save us from fiscal ruin?

197 From this morning:

Congress has passed several laws that delegate tariff authority to the president. One of the most significant is the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, which allowed the president to negotiate trade agreements and adjust tariff rates without requiring separate congressional approval each time.
Other key laws include:
- The Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which includes Section 232, allowing the president to impose tariffs if imports threaten national security.
- The Trade Act of 1974, which includes Sections 201 and 301, enabling the president to respond to unfair trade practices or economic disruptions.
- The Tariff Act of 1930, which contains Section 338, granting authority to impose tariffs under certain conditions.
- The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, which allows the president to regulate commerce during national emergencies.

Transplanting a liver isn't the same as transplanting a few pints of blood. You need to be on the ball about it long before it becomes critical. Kidneys you can deal with by dialysis but the liver performs so many more vital functions. I learned that if your liver is sufficiently impaired, your blood won't clot. You essentially become hemophiliac. No possibility of a transplant.

254 In other words: F*** you, how many divisions do you have under your command?
++++
Depends on what a "division" is. Assuming that a division is "15,000 men at arms," then they have about nine divisions. There are around 135,000 federal policemen (that is, people with arrest powers and firearms). That's an army, and it is absolutely on the side of "enforce the court's decision." Then there are the state police agencies, and at least half of them are on Team Judge, too.

The military proper? Who knows. Flip a coin, maybe. Odds may be worse than that.

But minimum nine divisions.

I mean "I am a billionaire" might get her to swoon but she won't fall in love.

Honestly, I'd toss the crackers (ummm, keto crackers are probably one of the fakest foods on the planet), but I'd take the pickle juice and marinade chicken in it before grilling it. With the pickles, I'd make a pasta salad - now, mine would be dairy free and more veg forward than most internet recipes, but what better summer meal could you have...and it's cheap and easy (double positive). if you don't eat carbs, toss the pasta out and do the same type of salad with roasted veg or tons of salad greens...
