Watching the Federal Circuit, better than a five shots of Jack Daniels for inducing immediate sleep.



But yes, it is a critically important matter.

If this court follows the law, they will have to dismiss the suit.

Congress gave the President the power to declare national emergencies...subject to concurrence from Congress. The judiciary really has no say in the matter.

How and when has Congress "concurred" with trump's national emergency re his tariffs?

Your understanding of the law is laughable.

 

[anatta]

The lawsuit argues that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the President the authority to impose across-the-board tariffs—and that even if the legislation attempted to grant that authority, it would be an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers because only Congress has authority to levy tariffs.

why is this settled issue being heard?
Congress gave the power to levy tariffs during "trade disputes" in any way (statute language) to advance trade interest
(i'd have to find the link..off to bed now)

V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump was filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade on April 14, 2025.

O.K. Trade court again

this is a "national emergency"?
the court most certainly can have a say in whether this is anything like that.

Congress was never even asked. Trump just took the power from them and never looked back. If the court follows the constitution, Trump loses.

 

[Loulit01]

How dare this so-called court challenge the awesome might of our Dear Leader? Deport those judges at once!

 

[Mycroft]

He didn't have to ask. All he had to do was tell them. If they objected, then it's up to them to stop him. They didn't object.

 

[The AntiDonald]

He didn't have to ask. All he had to do was tell them. If they objected, then it's up to them to stop him. They didn't object.

I would suggest you listen to Neal Katyal who will be arguing this case today. Trump clearly did not have the power to do this. He can't prove the emergency. Without it, he has no authority.

 

[Mycroft]

The problem here is that it's up to Congress to decide if Trump did not prove the emergency...not the court. That's why this case should be dismissed out of hand.

 

[The AntiDonald]

So, you're saying that because congress has failed to do its job, no one has a right to intervein, and Trump gets all the authority?

That's surely some BS MAGA logic there. Sorry, but I'll wait for the courts to rule on this one. Not saying they won't rule the MAGA way, but if they do, it's because MAGA has taken over the highest court.

He cant just make up an emergency.

guess we'll see if actual judges agree with a random anonymous internet poster.

This is an extreme and false exaggeration of what the statutes say. The President does not have unlimited authority over tariffs.

And just as a general comment, I’m so sick and tired of authoritarian Trump supporters claiming Trump can do whatever the hell he wants. That’s not how system works, and if you guys hate American values so much and want to live in some sort of dictatorship you’re welcome to leave the country and move to a dictatorship any time you want.

 

[Loulit01]

Ultimately, Congress can limit or expand the presidential tariffs powers through legislation, but the CRS concludes that based on precedents dating back to the time of Chief Justice Marshall, judicial precedent “has given the President broad latitude to exercise his tariff authorities.”

How Congress delegates its tariff powers to the president | Constitution Center

President Donald Trump is expected to announce wide-sweeping tariffs on Wednesday, in a move with potentially broad consequences. So how does the president have the ability to levy tariffs under the Constitution?

This is going to wind in SCOTUS regardless of who wins or loses.

Thank you

 

[W_Heisenberg]

What’s up with the mic? Can’t they mic things up better than this?

 

[W_Heisenberg]

I don’t know how any lawyer could argue for Trump admin.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

This court needs a better audio/visual tech guy.

 

[maxparrish]

The sound is terrible; I can't make out half of what is being said. Too bad, I thought this could be interesting to follow but I am struggling.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

I can’t make anything out other than the judges sound skeptical of Trump admin argument.

 

[TangoNoCash]

Because…?


He cant just make up an emergency.

He can and he did. Will they do anything about it?
