They held hearings on the summary judgment motions as recently as May 21.   That was a pretty quick decision. But then, Trump’s decision to take over all tariff making power in the country in such a bullshit excuse-giving way means that the decision could’ve been written in a day without the hearings and still been correct.

And as much as I would love to blame Trump, the fault for this lands squarely  on the GOP Congress and their toady-like surrender of their congressional obligations under the Constitution.

Well, to be fair Congress surrendered it's tariff powers here in 1977, although it attempted to retain a legislative veto.  When that was overruled indirectly, Congress went Goatse in 1985. 

But, it was by going Goatse that made this an impermissible delegation.

jk.  

I grant you that as the history, but once the orange turd started spouting about his plans to tariff the fuck out of the world’s economy, the only people in charge who could change that was the GOP Congress.

True enough.  But it was super-foolish to delegate so broadly to the executive and when their kill-switch got overruled, they should have undone it immediately.  I have a longstanding beef with the US Congress, #bothsides.

Just looked up the composition of the federal circuit and remarkably of 12 justices— not a single DJT nominee.

Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC just said that a Trump appoint he was part of the decision.  I have no idea if that is true, just passing on Talking Heads stuff.

I had looked up the composition of the federal circuit that will hear the admin appeal, not the panel that already decided.

Interesting group. A large bucket of current Biden and Obama appointees, and a whole bunch of Reagan and Bush judges on senior status.  

I guess they will hear that second case invalidating Trump‘s tariff authority as well.

They hear appeals of patent cases from the PTO, District Courts and ITC, and Merit System Protections Board appeals, and appeals from the CIT.

They're mostly patent-types. With a couple of international trade types. There's not a lot of turnover.  Unlike regional circuit judges, their expertise makes them apolitical, and they're drawn from a nationwide "pool."

They administratively stayed the judgment of the CIT pending a real stay request in the CIT followed by one at the Federal Circuit.

As much trauma as we have from the "shadow docket" and things like administrative stays, this is pretty routine.  Nothing to read into it at this point.

FedEx has seen massive declines in shipping across the Pacific Ocean amid fallout from President Donald Trump's trade war, according to a report.

The company projects its revenue will be flat or increase up to 2% in its fiscal first quarter, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, but it didn’t share projections for the full year, something it had previously done. Additionally, Chief Financial Officer John Dietrich said FedEx expects to see an additional $170 million co

“The macroeconomic environment remains uncertain,” Dietrich said, according to the report. “Our outlook is therefore based on current tariff rates, recent trends we’re seeing, as well as that which we’re hearing from our customers.”

FedEx plans to slash some of its workers in Europe as it tries to reduce costs and prepare for possible changes to customer demand.

“There’s a lot happening outside of FedEx,” CEO Raj Subramaniam said in a call with analysts, according to the report. “Trade policies are evolving and trade patterns are changing.”

“Oh, we’ve spoken to everybody. We know every. It’s all done. I told you. I told you we’ll make some deals, but for the most part we’re gonna send a letter. We’re gonna say, ‘Welcome to the United States. If you’d like to participate in the greatest, most successful country ever.’ I mean, we’re doing better than ever. We have. I don’t think. And you’re gonna see these numbers soon. We’ve never had numbers like this. We’ve never had investment like this. Uh, we have more than 90. We’re gonna have much more than 90. But most of those are gonna be sent a letter. This is exactly what I said. Now, we’ve made a deal with United Kingdom. We’ve made a deal with China. We’ve made a deal. We’re close to making a deal with India. Others, we’ve met with, and we don’t think we’re gonna be able to make a deal. So, we just send them a letter. ‘Do you wanna, do you wanna play ball? This is what you have to pay.’ So, we’re, as far as I’m concerned, we’re done. We’re sending out letters to various countries, telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a, you know, cause. We’re not gonna be unfair about it. And actually, it’s a small fraction compared to what we should be getting. We should be. We could be asking for much more. But for the sake of relationships that we’ve had with a lot of really good countries, we’re doing the way I do it. But we could be getting a lot more. We could ask for a lot more than what we’re asking for.”
