The Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on all imported goods, calling an immediate halt to his signature trade war policy. “The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined,” a three-judge panel ruled. Even before the decision, the White House vowed to appeal an unfavorable decision. Earlier in the day, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) sought to allay concerns over Trump’s agenda in Congress, hours after billionaire Elon Musk said he was “disappointed” with the legislative package that the House recently passed. The Tesla CEO said in a CBS News interview that the legislation “increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” referring to the project he had overseen to reduce the size of the federal government.

Because Putin is not ready to go to the peace table, now Trump is ready to level more sanctions against Russia. Has to shock those with TDS.
HE WAS NEVER READY,THAT IS WHAT THE CZAR COULD NOT COMPREHEND...LET ME SEE, EX KGB OFFICER AGAINST BIG MOUTH MOB BOSS.....MY BET IS ON EX KGB.
If this ruling stands, will that make all previous executive orders involving trade null and void?
Past presidents like Clinton and the first George Bush banned weapons and ammunition with Executive Orders from nations like Russia and China. Will Americans now be allowed to buy Chinese rifles, pistols, and ammunition?
If this prevails, Congress might get back a lot of their power that they have spent decades giving away to the Executive Branch.

Court of International Trade is an Article III tribunal established by Congress, which means that any verdict it renders is subject to appeal.
I guess if your view of our judicial system is that SCOTUS has an obligation to uphold every ruling of a lower court you happen to agree with and if they dare overturn that ruling it is out of loyalty to something other than the federal Constitution and our laws you'll be looking at them overturning this decision as loyalty to something other than the federal Constitution and our laws.
The full 11 member Court of Appeals for the Federal District Court, not SCOTUS, stayed the 3 judge panel of the Court of International Trade ruling less than 24 hours after it was issued. Not a 3 judge panel of the appeals court, the full court.
Now, certainly a stay is not a reversal, but generally speaking an appeals court won't act on a lower court's ruling unless they believe the appeal is likely to succeed. If they find the lower court's ruling proper they will usually just deny the appeal altogether. Both sides are supposed to submit briefs to the appeals court early next month, but given the appeals court acted so swiftly to stay the USITC panel ruling, the case might never make it to SCOTUS at all.
The Trump administration is preparing for a Supreme Court battle that could reshape presidential power by deciding the extent of the executive branch’s authority over tariffs, which was originally granted to Congress by the Constitution. The administration appealed after many of its recent tariffs were invalidated by a federal trade court, which argued the president’s actions were too sweeping and cut into Congress’ authority.
President Donald Trump’s struck-down tariffs are almost guaranteed to end up before the Supreme Court, experts say, and the outcome is a toss-up that could shape presidential power for years to come.
The Supreme Court rarely opines on trade issues, said Lee Smith, shareholder and leader of the international trade and national security practice at law firm Baker Donelson. The last case it heard on the topic was decided in 2009—U.S. v. Eurodif S.A., which dealt with the “anti-dumping” duties on low enriched uranium, he said.
Yet, this week, the New York-based Court of International Trade set up a future Supreme Court battle royale when it invalidated many of Trump’s tariffs. The tariffs in question, including those imposed on Mexico and China, were undergirded by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which gives the President “broad authority to regulate a variety of economic transactions following a declaration of national emergency.”
SO, IT IS JUST AS I STATED......THE CONSTITUTION IS AT A CRITICAL POINT IN HISTORY....
IF THEY R 'NEUTRAL' OR BIASED AND LOYAL.....THEIR DECISION IS DEFINITIVE FOR FUTURE OF THIS NATION AND SETS A PRECEDENCE FOR FUTURE POTUS.
FROM THE MOODY BLUES...QUESTION OFBALANCE
A Question of Balance Lyrics
Question Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you
