A U.S. appeals court is reinstating all of the Trump tariffs as the process plays out in the courts. And this comes after a judicial double whammy. Two separate courts ruling against his trade duties, with one claiming President Trump overstepped his authority. The White House is fighting back against what they are calling a judicial coup, with Caroline Levitt coming out with guns blazing.

The president's rationale for imposing these powerful tariffs was legally sound and grounded in common sense. Three judges of the U.S. Court of International Trade disagreed and brazenly abused their judicial power to usurp the authority of President Trump to stop him from carrying out the mandate that the American people gave him.

There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process. America cannot function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.

All right. So this is the process that we have. And there's a judicial branch, Emily, that's weighing in here. And the Trump administration is going to appeal. So we're a little bit in limbo. Where do you see it?

Yeah. And these are administrative law judges. Right. So it's sort of on a different channel that I think a lot of people don't realize is really a big effect on our country, including the Social Security Administration and a lot of different agencies. But then it gets. it gets sort of put into the track of obviously the circuit court and eventually SCOTUS.

Look, the senior judge had this quote, which was, it may be a very dandy plan, but it has to meet the statute. So at the end of the day, these judges argued that this particular statute did not levy the authority to the president to deal with tariffs, right? Only embargoes and sanctions.

And then they said, and even if it did, this doesn't rise to the level of a national emergency because we've been sitting and drowning in these tariffs for 49 years. Now, the counter argument to that, the White House was like, No, it is an emergency, actually, just because we've been sitting in it doesn't make it less acute. And also, indeed, I do have the authority.

So now that was stayed, it will go, I'm sure, to the Supreme Court. And also, though, note this, that I think they're going to start just leveraging all of these tariffs under other statutes. So they're going to say, fine, I can't use this particular one. I'm going to start leveraging the same analogs in others.
