Update at the end. President Trump has appealed the ruling.
A federal court seemingly just invalidated Trump’s ”Liberation Day” tariffs, ruling he exceeded his authority under IEEPA. The court said Trump can’t bypass Congress to set trade policy and that these tariffs are unconstitutional and void. They blocked the tariffs in two cases, but it affects all of them. They say only Congress can levy tariffs.
President Trump is trying to get a fair deal for America.
A federal court of three judges, appointed by Trump, Obama, and Reagan, on Wednesday ruled President Trump does not have the authority under economic emergency legislation to impose sweeping global tariffs, Axios reports.
The U.S. Court of International Trade’s ruling could bring the administration’s trade war to a screeching halt.
By blocking entirely most categories of tariffs, the court effectively wiped out most of the regime Trump put in place since taking office.
They are hampering President Trump’s plan to get fair deals for the American people. Perhaps they’re right on the law, but basically Trump can’t run the country on any issue.
The court, ruling in two separate cases, issued a summary judgment throwing out all the tariffs Trump imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA to impose tariffs worldwide.
The plaintiffs were businesses and states who claimed it violated the Constitution’s grant of authority over import duties to Congress.
The three judges decided that the act doesn’t not give unbounded authority.
Judges are destroying Trump’s presidency and his foreign policy. How can he not have tariff authority? Congress gave him the authority.

It Can Be Overturned
From the New York trade court ruling:

When are the courts going to represent the rights of the American people rather than the politics of the Democratic Party. We voted for Trump’s agenda not for the judges who are thwarting that agenda.
The government rot is ubiquitous. And congress is pathetic.
Conservative Treehouse is of the opinion that these judges ignored the legal reasoning undergirding the president’s action including the 397 page report “2025 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers”
“It looks like the trade court didn’t even review the USTR reports.”
If these judges did not do their homework they should be booted out of office for the harmful consequences of their failure.
The president has no leverage the liberal disease carry’s on for our final destruction. The enemy took a completely awesome constitution and have used it to destroy the people with it. Its time to make allot of people un comfortable. WITH OUR PENS.
How utterly stupid. Congress doesn’t haave the balls to correct our massive problems, and they let the corrupt justice system give them cover.
