The fix appears to be in for two court cases against President Donald Trump’s tariffs, according to a very knowledgeable source.
Last month, five domestic businesses filed a lawsuit in a little known trade court in New York challenging Trump’s tariffs, arguing they have to rely on imported goods that are not reasonably available to them in the U.S.
In his April 2 executive order imposing a set of reciprocal tariffs, Trump declared a national emergency, calling trade deficits a threat to the nation’s national security and economy.
Trump’s tariffs are central to his economic agenda and designed to reduce the trade deficits between the United States and other world powers.
A three-judge panel at the United States Court of International Trade in lower Manhattan heard arguments in the case Tuesday, and reportedly “appeared skeptical” of the president’s arguments.
If the panel decides that Trump’s emergency declaration was unlawful, it would effectively block the president’s global tariffs and upend his economic agenda.
The chief judge of the United States Court of International Trade is Mark A Barnett, who joined the court in 2013 after a nomination from President Barack Obama. He became chief judge on April 6, 2021.
According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett “fixed” the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would “overrule the president” and render his tariffs “null and void.”
The source told American Greatness he was given this information by “very reliable people” who are “very close to the court.”

This judicial tyranny will destroy the republic if not stopped. The Founders warned us about it.
Ignore the SOBs-they have no military.
That three judge panel needs to wake up in cells in Cuba.
It is time to accept that nothing will be done unless some sort of action is taken by the people since it is obvious that the Supremes and Congress are happy doing nothing. Sadly, most people are happy with the phones, social media, and sports addictions and don’t want to rock the boat. I have made calls, written letters/emails as have many here, but our drop in the bucket isn’t going to get us there.
The problem is that Trump waited too darn long to make deals with these countries..he knew the court will eventually rule against him, delaying and delaying did not do him any favors..Japan wanted to make a deal, India wanted to make a deal, get on the phone and make a deal that benefits both sides..now he has to hope some other court overrules these douche bags otherwise no one is going to do any deal with him why would they
1. Leftwing Activist federal judges allow standing to several states to file suit.
2. Leftwing Activist judges hearing the suit then say the executive branch has usurped Congressional power.
Big problem with that is if Congresses' power has been usurped, then legally ONLY Congress has STANDING to bring the suit.
If it isn’t stopped, I’ll lose all interest in politics. May not bother to vote either.
Here are the companies..........
V.O.S. Selections Inc., a New York-based business that imports and distributes wines, spirits and sake, challenged the tariffs in the Court of International Trade, an oft-mentioned court in downtown Manhattan. The company was joined by fellow small businesses Genova Pipe, MicroKits LLC and FishUSA Inc.
No offense, but these companies short term pain, if they have any pain at all, isn’t worth stripping the President from using tariffs as leverage to get better deals with our “partners”.
A Wall Street Journal article weeks ago predicted the outcome in the special court that heard the case.
There is a different area of law the WH could have used to justify the tariffs, and it would have been a safer bet than the “national emergency” provision that they used. Instead of the EO on tariffs invoking a “national security” provision, it could have invoked Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows for tariffs that “counter unfair trade practices”. But that was not the legal basis they used in the EO on tariffs. They should have. I think Trump got bad legal advice. He could still win on appeal, but it may require trying to make a difficult change of gears on the justification, or an immediate new WH EO using the Section 301 provision.
In the short term (one lifetime) that would probably be for the best; but it'd be more likely that your descendants will be slaves.
The answer is hanging on the wall of the Oval Office..
We were essentially told that it’s better to vote again after a stolen election, and see the Revolution start from the Oval Office, instead of without the Oval Office..
My only descendant is my daughter. She and her husband couldn’t have children and I’m not too worried about her four dogs.
Personnel is policy.
Lower federal court judges began issuing nationwide injunctions against PDJT beginning in March 2017.
Congress and John Roberts have had plenty of time to address the issue.
We do not hate Congress enough.
It appears the IRS should audit a few judges to many are being influenced and not by law?.
