Appeals court skeptical of Trump tariff authority
A federal appeals court is hearing arguments on whether or not to kneecap President Donald Trump’s global tariff regime.
Trump has held up the case as a life-or-death moment for his trade agenda, but plaintiffs say he has usurped the power of Congress to set tariffs.
The case, known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, centers on whether the president exceeded his authority by invoking an emergency-powers law to impose a slew of far-reaching tariff policies.
They're using the courts against the successful Trump tariffs because they hate America.
