In light of the new wave of liberal lawfare being waged against President Trump’s tariffs, it’s worth considering: do the liberals have a point? Rand Paul certainly thought so—recall that a few weeks ago he brought the Senate to a tiebreaking vote to halt the tariffs. This is because Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution explicitly grants Congress the power to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”. Strictly speaking, Congress has these powers—not the Executive. However, Congress also has the authority to delegate powers to the Executive for...

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the DOJ’s bid to lift a Clinton judge’s order blocking Trump’s reorganization plans for 20 federal agencies. Last Friday US District Judge Susan Illston, a Clinton appointee, turned a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) into a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump Administration’s effort to overhaul and reorganize 20 agencies in the Executive Branch. In February, President Trump implemented an executive order to completely overhaul the Executive Branch through the work of DOGE. The California-based judge said in order for President Trump to make such large-scale overhauls, he needs approval from Congress. .......

We're getting a bit of federal court whiplash Thursday on the tariff front. As RedState reported Wednesday evening, in a pair of cases, the Court of International Trade (CIT) held that the Trump administration's actions on tariffs, invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), exceeded the president's authority under the statute and thus violated the separation of powers set forth by the Constitution. The ink had barely dried on that decision before the administration appealed it to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, that court has pressed pause on the lower court ruling. In a per curiam order...

A federal judge on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction and ruled President Trump’s tariffs are unlawful under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). US District Judge Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee said Trump’s tariffs are “unlawful.” Contreras said his preliminary injunction only applies to the two companies that filed suit, however, his ruling could open the door to more widespread injunctions. Contreras’ injunction is separate from the permanent injunction issued by a three-judge panel on the Court of International Trade. The Court of International Trade in New York on Wednesday said President Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs...

A federal judge in Boston on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration’s directive to strip Harvard University of its ability to admit international students. Judge Allison Burroughs issued the ruling from the bench after an emergency hearing on the administration’s move, which upended the lives of the 27 percent of Harvard’s student body that is made up of foreign students. “I want to maintain the status quo,” Burroughs said from the bench, according to CNN. Harvard quickly sued the administration last week after the directive was given by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which also...

Key Points A U.S. trade court ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by invoking an emergency law to impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every country. Economists at Goldman Sachs said the White House likely has a few tools at its disposal to ensure it is only a temporary problem. Lawyer James Ransdell said the ruling marks the first in many cases still pending — and is the first opinion “to really address the meat of the plaintiffs challenge.” ================================================================= U.S. President Donald Trump could still find a workaround after suffering a major blow to a core part of his...

A U.S. federal judge has inflicted another blow to the Trump administration’s efforts to end a multiple Biden-era parole program for hundreds of thousands of migrants*** U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts on Wednesday ordered the Trump administration to resume processing applications from those migrants who are seeking work permits or renewing their status.

Federal law still requires agencies under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to follow a lengthy process for...

The First Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday (for now) sided with the Biden judge who blocked the Trump Administration from dismantling the Department of Education. Last Thursday a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from dismantling the department of education. In March, President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. “We’ve got to get the federal government out of education,” Trump declared. “The Department of Education has become a bloated bureaucracy that’s more interested in pushing its own agenda than in helping our kids learn. It’s time to put the power back in the hands...

National Public Radio on Tuesday sued President Donald Trump over his executive order to cease all federal funding for the nonprofit broadcaster. Trump’s May 1 order violates the First Amendment’s protections of speech and the press and steps on Congress’ authority, NPR and three other public radio stations wrote in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. The order “also threatens the existence of a public radio system that millions of Americans across the country rely on for vital news and information,” according to the legal complaint against Trump and a handful of top officials and federal agencies....

On Friday US District Judge Beryl Howell disregarded the Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump’s authority to fire labor board members in her decision to deny a stay of her finding that Trump’s ousting of US Institute for Peace officials (USIP) was unlawful. The US Supreme Court on Thursday allowed President Trump to fire labor board members in a 6-3 decision. “Because the Constitution vests the executive power in the President, see Art. II, §1, cl. 1, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents, see Seila...

The illegal aliens deported include five convicted murderers, one convicted robber, one convicted child sex predator, and one convicted rapist. Several of the illegal aliens were...
