So most? all? of the court is hearing it? That should mean the scenario of the three-judge panel, two of which are Trumpers, is off the table, and it's more likely the case could be decided on the merits.
FWIW, I've been very interested in this case since it was filed and slowly worked it's way up the chain. My guess is that it's going to be Roberts's call, and he is unpredictable as far as I'm concerned.
Barry Ritholtz does a great job describing the lay of the land. The following WSJ article provides details from today's case in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Wow. Section 338 is surely heading our way next. Talk about "vague"... "Discrimination against US commerce" could mean anything that he wants it to. And how would you even begin to challenge that in a court?
I do not see how of all of them, the Brazilian ones stand. DJT has admitted why he imposed them and his reasons have nothing to do with any of the legal requirements.
I have quit depending on the Constitutional or legal when the SCOTUS can just decide particular presidential actions are not subject to judicial review even if 100% of other Constitutional scholars and legal experts disagree.
As the economy unravels, we will hear a lot more of "It had to be done". As if making us economically weaker accomplishes anything. Ot that they are fighting the "good fight". No proof will ever be forthcoming.
