A U.S. federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs from going into effect, ruling that the president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy.

        The three judge panel included Reagan, Obama, and Trump appointees. It was a unanimous ruling. Ketchup will be all over the walls of Mar-a-Lago.

          A Reagan appointee? Jesus fucking Christ, these people need to retire.

            But not now. They can die when the next democratic (and hopefully progressive democrat) president is sworn in. Until then, they need to stay the fuck alive.

      The Trump administration minutes later filed a notice of appeal.

      As soon as humanly possible, I guess.

        Ordinarily, an order from this court would be appealed to the appellate court for the federal circuit, but I’m sure the administration will attempt to leapfrog this and try to immediately appeal to the Supreme Court. Since you only need one justice to grant cert, they’ll probably accept it. The real question is whether they’ll roll over for Trump. I can see Barrett and Roberts joining the liberal wing in upholding the court’s order striking down the tariffs, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
