The Court of International Trade panel that unanimously struck down Trump's "Liberation Day" and other IEEPA tariffs included a Reagan, Obama, and Trump appointee. Credit to all for defending the rule of law. Perhaps Congress could come out of hiding and do its part to help in this good cause?

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

A move clearly not driven by any legal government purpose. This is viewpoint discrimination in violation of the 1st Amendment's free speech clause. Government punishment taken simply because the target is not politically obsequious enough to Donald Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...
