The Trump administration has won the right to keep its sweeping
global tariffs in place after “activist judges” tried to block
them.
The US Court of International Trade ruled late on Wednesday
that Mr Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing
sweeping “liberation tariffs” on countries around the world
and ordered him to cancel them within 10 days.
But on Thursday night, an appeals court paused the ruling
while it looks more closely at the arguments.
In a court filing in Washington DC, the Department of Justice
had said it would appeal to the country’s most senior judges
if immediate relief was not granted allowing Donald Trump’s
tariffs to remain in place.
White House economic advisers are also reviewing other avenues
to impose tariffs at the same time, the president’s press
secretary said.

HOW do we deal with the rapid escalation in
obviously partisan "lawfare" ??? This seems
to be a flaw the Founders did not really
envision.
IMHO, *elected* - not appointed - people should
have the most power. On the flip, The Law is
supposed to be The Law and NEEDS to be in order
to keep the elected from becoming tyrants.
This is NOT easy.
Awhile back, kings and popes had the "final word"
in contested matters. Might be a good decision,
might not, but it was SETTLED. Quasi-'democracies'
were invented to replace the kings because a bit
too often those decisions sucked.
CAN our system come up with a logical harmonious
well-fitting solution to 'lawfare' ???
Hey, coin toss !!! :-)
