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.
