A federal appeals court on Thursday granted the Trump administration’s request to temporarily pause a lower-court ruling that struck down most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The Trump administration had earlier told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that it would seek “emergency relief” from the Supreme Court as soon as Friday if the tariff ruling was not quickly put on pause.

The judgment issued Wednesday night by the U.S. Court of International Trade is “temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers,” the appeals court said in its order.

The pause gives the Trump administration some breathing room as it prepares to argue that the law empowers the president to unilaterally launch a global tariff regime.

1. A federal appeals court wants to help trump collapse our economy??

[Deminpenn]

2. Just standard operating procedure for an appeals court to

grant a temporary injunction.

[Snackshack]

11. Judicial SOP...

... is why we have a convicted felon as president.

Applying a 'standard operating procedure' mindset in the law only works when both sides are following the same established law.

[The Madcap]

3. Get ready for the pump and dump

[BumRushDaShow]

4. It never got chance to get pumped much before anticipation for any dump

although most of the markets are up some. Less than 1/2 hour before the close so not sure what they will do!

[JohnSJ]

5. No surprise, and it shouldn't be a surprise, regardless how the courts eventually rule, the sociopath

will use other tools to keep his tariffs, and insure consumers pay more for their products, so he can insure that the billionaires get their tax breaks.

[k_buddy762]

6. Trump admin will appeal

until they find a favorable court. Maybe the Supremes will do the right thing.

[onenote]

7. As others have noted, pretty much standard operating procedure in a situation such as this

Administrative stay maintaining the status quo (which is the tariffs being in effect) pending further action.

11 judges all signed on to the "per curiam" decision -- two GWBush, one GWHBush, one Clinton, two Biden and five Obama.

[NEOH]

8. 5th circuit, n'est-ce pas?

[onenote]

9. No. Or "non." Its the Federal Circuit. Five Obama, two Biden, one Clinton, two GWBush, one GWHBush

It identifies the court in the article. Always pays to read the article.

[doc03]

10. That may turn out good for Trump if it prevents him

from further damaging the economy.

[orangecrush]

12. Well, that was quick

[moonshinegnomie]

13. its just temporary and will still be tossed

they gave both sides until early june to file motions but i expect the stay will be lifted in the next 2 weeks

[Turbineguy]

14. Trump needs all the help he can get to fuck up the country and maybe the World.

[OverBurn]

15. Dammit, my stocks had just recovered.

[pfitz59]

16. Everything is an 'emergency' to this admin.

Fuck all the Trumpies

[wolfie001]

17. tRUMP destroying international trade and imposing his pay-to-play corruption is far more important....

....than some damn Constitution. The nazi republican party is ruining everything. And they have their Freikorps goons all in place. Even paying them bonuses (bounties?). Germany 1936 on bit-coin steroids.

18. In order to get a stay of the ruling on tariffs, trump's attorneys had to promise to refund all tariffs

trump's attorneys had to make the legal commitment to refund all tariffs in order to get a stay of the rulings on trump's tariffs. The court of appeals issued the stay of the two injunctions based on the agreement by the trump administration to refund all tariffs if the ruling of these two courts are upheld on appeal.

BREAKING - Trump admin pledges to refund tariffs: Donald Trump’s Justice Department persuaded the U.S. Court of Appeals to stay the lower court’s injunction on his emergency tariffs—after pledging to refund anyone who paid them if it ultimately loses. In its filings, the government stated, “If tariffs imposed on plaintiffs during these appeals are ultimately held unlawful, then the government will issue refunds to plaintiffs, including any post-judgment interest that accrues.” The court granted the stay.

19. Trump really wants those tariffs.

I think it's because he thinks it gives him leverage
over other countries...

but all they really do is hurt this country and its
people.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. The attorneys for the plaintiffs challenging trump's tariffs do not believe that refunds are sufficient

The offer by the trump attorneys to give refunds is not sufficient to compensate the persons having to pay these tariffs. The people being forced to pay the tariffs are not fully compensated for their damages by mere refunds

The plaintiffs need to be fully compensated for any damages suffered due to the trump tariffs
