Trump Goes Off on the Federalist Society For Recommending Judges When He Was ‘New to Washington,’ Slams Federal Judges Who Blocked Him From Imposing Tariffs
President Trump has expressed strong dissatisfaction with a recent ruling by a three-judge panel of the U. S. Court of International Trade, which blocked him from imposing tariffs. He highlighted his disappointment with the Federalist Society, which had previously recommended judges to him when he was new to Washington.
• The three-judge panel ruled that Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977.
• Judges involved in the ruling included Gary Katzmann (Obama appointee), Timothy Reif (Trump appointee), and Jane Restani (Reagan appointee).
• The Trump administration's appeal resulted in an immediate administrative stay from the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
• Trump criticized the panel's decision, questioning the motives of the judges and implying they acted out of personal animosity toward him.
• Trump claimed that the Federalist Society misled him regarding judicial nominations and accused Leonard Leo, a prominent figure associated with the Society, of having his own ambitions detrimental to America.
• Trump expressed pride in some judicial picks but disappointment in others, asserting that judges must prioritize the nation's welfare.
• He emphasized the significance of tariffs for the U. S. economy and described the court's ruling as politically motivated and harmful to presidential power.
• Trump argued that requiring Congress's approval for tariffs could lead to inefficiencies and could undermine the presidency.
• He warned that the ruling could result in substantial financial losses for the U. S. if upheld, framing it as a potential threat to national sovereignty.
Trump's statements reveal a deep frustration with both the judicial ruling against his tariff power and the advice he received from the Federalist Society regarding judicial appointments. He hopes the Supreme Court will reverse the decision quickly, expressing concerns about its impact on the presidency and the U. S. economy.
