A court battle over President Trump’s tariffs is playing out in a district court and the Court of International Trade.
Last month a three-judge panel at the US Court of International Trade ruled President Trump exceeded his authority to unilaterally impose tariffs under IEEPA.
The three judge panel included: Gary Katzmann (Obama), Timothy Reif (Trump) and Jane Restani (Reagan).
The Trump DOJ immediately appealed the ruling.
A federal appeals court late last month temporarily reinstated President Trump’s tariffs after the Court of International Trade in New York said President Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).
“The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers,” the federal circuit court said according to the order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
On Tuesday, after further consideration, the same federal appeals court ruled that President Trump’s sweeping tariffs could remain in effect while the Trump Administration mounted a legal challenge.
The federal Circuit Court will hear arguments on the case on July 31 so the tariffs will remain in effect in the meantime.
The En Banc order (court’s entire slate of judges) granted the motions for stay pending appeal.
One judge did not participate.
“Both sides have made substantial arguments on the merits. Having considered the traditional stay factors… the court concludes a stay is warranted under the circumstances,” the court’s order read.
