DUHHHHH....that was obvious 7 months ago when Trump first began his sabotage of the U.S. economy.
A major blow to Trump.....but a nice W for the Constitution.
President Donald Trump’s cornerstone economic policy was dealt another setback Friday when a federal appeals court ruled he did not have the authority to impose most of his sweeping tariffs on imports from dozens of trading partners.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a lower court’s decision that Trump overstepped his authority in using a 1977 law, called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, to impose most of his tariffs. The emergency law is used in the case of threats against the country.
“The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax," a group of federal judges wrote in their ruling.
The decision throws the future of Trump’s foundational economic policy into uncertainty once more, just weeks after the president announced increased levies on more than 60 countries around the world. Those tariffs spared many countries from even higher levels first proposed by Trump in April, but still added much higher taxes than the country has imposed in recent decades.

They claim that he has gone too far in using an emergency law.
Like every time President Trmo uses powers granted to him by statute or by the Constitution itself, the tyrannical branch seeks to become the Co-President.
I guess “****” the Separation of Powers, eh?

If not for tariff revenue, America is going to collapse. Unless these same courts are going to support a balanced deficit law where all of the big donors get F all since the U.S has to balance their budget each year and your military falls behind.

Trump's tariff program is currently generating about $30 billion a month in revenue BEFORE his new rates on 1 August,
In an 8 August post on Truth Social, Trump warned of serious consequences if a court ruling cut off that revenue, predicting a return of the Great (Republican) Depression.
https://www.axios.com/2025/08/29/trump-tariffs-ruling-ieepa
"A federal appellate court on Friday upheld a lower-court ruling invalidating the bulk of President Trump's sweeping global tariffs.
"Why it matters: The ruling could quickly upend the global trade order Trump has built, cutting off a major new source of cash for the government and raising huge questions about what businesses are supposed to do next.
"Catch up quick: In late May, the Court of International Trade ruled Trump did not have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs, as he has done this year.
- "A federal appellate court subsequently stayed that ruling, and held a hearing on the dispute in late July.
He went too far. He did NOT follow the law in the so called emergency power, and the emergency power never included tariffs....taxing us, without representation....Appeals Court Rejects Trump’s Global Tariffs — The Wall Street Journal

Well, Trump's deranged gibberish beliefs about executive power don't require a lot of legal analysis....hmmm, the court didn't even bother to read the complaint, they just rendered the verdict and mailed it to a higher court...

How the **** can tariffs be illegal?
To experience a collapse would be a kodak moment. True colors will sprout from it.

How is it possible for an unelected Appeals Court to shut down a foreign trade policy initiated by the President? Who are these people?

By order of the same ruling, the tariffs remain in place.
... but the judges let the levies stay in place while the case is subject to further review.
