Overview

• A three-judge U.S. Court of International Trade panel ruled that Trump misused emergency powers to impose sweeping global tariffs and struck them down.
• The full 11-judge U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a temporary stay, allowing the administration to continue collecting the tariffs.
• On Truth Social, Trump accused the Federalist Society of giving him “bad advice” on judicial nominations and called its co-chair Leonard Leo a “sleazebag” who “probably hates America.”
• The outburst represents a rare public split with the conservative legal network that helped him secure three Supreme Court appointments.
• The dispute underscores a broader constitutional battle over executive authority to set tariffs without explicit congressional approval.
