Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit hears whether President Tariff’s “emergency” blanket tariffs were just trade tantrums dressed up in executive authority.
CBS News (07/31/2025):
A federal appeals court is set to convene Thursday to consider President Trump’s use of an emergency powers law to impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit will hear arguments in the Trump administration’s appeal of a ruling from a trade-focused lower court that found the president did not have the authority to hit foreign nations with 10% tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.
While a three-judge panel on the the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked the sweeping duties that the president assessed on most countries, the Federal Circuit temporarily reinstated the tariffs while it considers the dispute.

President “Trade Wars Are Easy to Win”—a man who still doesn’t understand how tariffs work or who they hurt—took to Truth Social to send his best to “all” of his “great lawyers” fighting to save the country from the horrors of… the free market. He then warned that if the “Country” can’t use “TARIFFS AGAINST TARIFFS, we’d be “DEAD” with “NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL OR SUCCESS.” He closed with the kind of presidential flourish we’ve come to expect: “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
One of his “great lawyers” aka the AG of the US Pam “barbie” Bondi posted her support of the DOJ attorney’s via twitter.
This morning, my @TheJusticeDept attorneys are going to court to defend President Trump’s tariffs — which are transforming the global economy, protecting our national security, and addressing the consequences of our exploding trade deficit.
