So Jim Garrity bombshell ruling out of the U.S. Court of Appeals by 7-4.

They say Trump's tariffs are illegal.

They're not going to strike them down now.

Let them stand as this continues to be litigated, but they make the case

that under this law so-called IEPA, that in typical fashion Congress passed because they thought

presidents were invoking too many emergencies. They thought this would limit the president's ability to declare emergencies.

Instead, there have been more emergencies than ever. But what you do, you declare an emergency

and you get to sanction various countries. Trump says this actually lets him declare an emergency

over the trade deficit and impose terrorists on every country on the planet, even though the word

tariffs is not mentioned in the law.

This court, for his part, is not buying it.

What do you make of it?

So it is a bombshell.

It would be a bigger bombshell if it suspended the tariffs, which it did not. They stay in place as

this continues to be litigated. But it, you know, and I don't want to step on Charlie's toes here,

as he's been emphasizing since the very beginning, that no, this authority rests with Congress.

Congress needs to weigh in here. If Congress wants to pass this, they can. Republicans control the House.
