The D.c. Court of Appeals has reversed the International Trade Court ruling that issued a permanent injunction against Trump's tariffs just one day after the lower court ruled them unconstitutional.

That was quick - and surprising.

Not surprising because the lower court had any legal leg to stand on but surprising that a D.C. court was willing to admit this was a completely ridiculous and unjustifiable ruling.

The lower court's order has been stayed pending further review.

Congress did indeed grant the President the authority to impose tariffs, and tariffs have been imposed by Presidents since Jimmy Carter without any suggestion it was illegal.

This international trade court (why do we need a "trade court" by the way?) should be punished in some fashion. Congress should simply dissolve it and put the judges on the street.
