JUST IN: Trump Appeals to Supreme Court to Overturn Ruling on Sweeping Tariffs

Published

on

President Trump’s DOJ appealed to the US Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling on his sweeping tariffs.

As reported last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected President Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs in a 7-4 decision.

“The Government appeals a decision of the Court of International Trade setting aside five Executive Orders that imposed tariffs of unlimited duration on nearly all goods from nearly every country in the world, holding that the tariffs were not authorized by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq. Because we agree that IEEPA’s grant of presidential authority to “regulate” imports does not authorize the tariffs imposed by the Executive Orders, we affirm,” the Federal Appeals Court said.

In May, The Court of International Trade in New York said President Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).

US Attorney General Pam Bondi last Friday said the DOJ will immediately appeal a federal appeals court ruling on Trump’s tariffs.

On Wednesday, the DOJ formally appealed to the US Supreme Court.

CNBC reported:

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday appealed to the Supreme Court a federal court ruling that said that most of his global tariffs are illegal, setting up a legal clash that could determine the future of his trade agenda.

While the formal appeal was expected and the court still needs to accept it, this likely now puts the fate of Trump’s sweeping “reciprocal tariffs” into the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The filing comes after a federal appeals court on Aug. 29 said that most of Trump’s April 2 “reciprocal tariffs” were illegal, throwing the central tenet of his economic agenda into limbo.

President Trump went off after the radical judges struck down his tariffs.

“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT! Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end. If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong. The U.S.A. will no longer tolerate enormous Trade Deficits and unfair Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers imposed by other Countries, friend or foe, that undermine our Manufacturers, Farmers, and everyone else. If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America. At the start of this Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that TARIFFS are the best tool to help our Workers, and support Companies that produce great MADE IN AMERICA products. For many years, Tariffs were allowed to be used against us by our uncaring and unwise Politicians. Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use them to the benefit of our Nation, and Make America Rich, Strong, and Powerful Again! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said.

WATCH: Somali Migrants in Minnesota FREAK OUT After Apartment Manager Lets ICE Agents Inside Building to Arrest Illegal Aliens

Criminal illegal alien Somalis are starting to get awfully scared now that the Trump Administration is laying down the law, after their grift made national headlines.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week, ICE has already begun making arrests in what locals call “Somali-land Minnesota,” a region with one of the largest concentrations of Somali immigrants in the United States.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that during Tuesday’s press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara warned residents that masked individuals detaining people in Somali neighborhoods were “possibly kidnapping people,” urging the city’s enormous Somali enclave to dial 911 if they encounter law-enforcement activity they “don’t recognize.”

On Saturday, a viral video emerged showing just how frightened Somali illegals are about possibly going back to their homeland.

After ICE agents were let into an apartment building, Somalis started freaking out and screaming at the agents.

“Why did they let them in?” one guy asks. “This is private property, we live here!”

“Chairman Associates are doing this to us?” he adds. “I will kill you! I will kill you!”

The man continued to melt down after ICE agents stood their ground.

“I’ve lived here 27 years, they’re letting ICE in to arrest us!?” he yelled. “They’re doing this to us after 10 years of living here?!”

WATCH:

Other Somalis in the building then spoke up to express their anger, before the man who had started the whole commotion began again.

“We are Muslim, is that the problem?!” the first man yelled.

ICE, of course, would not be inside the building if there was not a reason to believe there were illegals.

Immigration agents do not care about a migrant’s religion, which the First Amendment protects.

The only thing they care about is whether immigrants are here illegally, which this man apparently was, given his reaction.

President Trump Had Every Right to Pardon Tina Peters Because Biden’s Federal Agencies Were All Over the Tina Peters Case

Published

on

By

The Federal Government was totally involved in Tina Peters’ investigation and arrest, which is a key reason President Trump has the right to pardon Tina Peters.

Former Mesa County, Colorado Election Clerk Tina Peters broke no state or federal laws by backing up her Election Management Server (EMS) hard drive, having it analyzed, and even publishing the results.  If she had, the federal and Colorado state governments would have legally come down on her for doing so, especially during the Biden administration.

In other words, not one state or federal charge resulted from Tina’s actions backing up her county’s server.  Because they had NOTHING, Colorado (likely at the behest of the DOJ) had to manufacture imaginary felonies and misdemeanors against Clerk Peters and then prosecute her in the state courts.

President Trump pardoned Tina Peters on Thursday night. 

President Trump Pardons Tina Peters!

He had the absolute right and duty to do so.  There is ample evidence that the federal government under Biden was involved in the Tina Peters case, which supports the argument that, because the federal government led the effort, directed it, or was a large part of the effort to indict and imprison Tina Peters, President Trump can pardon her. 

The Biden Regime’s involvement in Tina Peters Case

The FBI issued a statement almost immediately after Peters came forward, stating that they would investigate her for potential violations of federal laws. The Biden regime never formally prosecuted Tina, but it appears that Biden’s Department of Justice was working closely with local Colorado officials who sought to put Peters in jail. (https://coloradosun.com/2021/08/17/tina-peters-replaced/)

The Mesa County District Attorney, Dan Rubinstein, included Matthew Kirsh, the United States Attorney for Colorado, in a May 17, 2022, email to multiple District Attorneys across Colorado. The email is titled “Rule 3.8 Meeting” which appears to reference the rules of professional conduct for prosecutors. (https://www.justice.gov/usao-co/meet-us-attorney, https://www.cobar.org/Portals/COBAR/Repository/12.1.22/Rule%203.8%20-%20Special%20Responsibilities%20of%20a%20Prosecutor.pdf?ver=h4k_BG_0T1kn7Rdgo8sLiQ%3D%3D )

Email from Dan Rubinstein to DOJ attorney and Colorado District Attorneys, apparently brainstorming how to appear legitimate and ethical while prosecuting Tina Peters

The email suggests that Rubinstein was having some trouble reconciling the prosecution of Tina Peters with prosecutors’ rules of professional conduct and had to call in the cavalry to help him brainstorm ways to avoid being “accused of wrongdoing.”

Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein

First, Rubinstein appears to recognize that there is no precedent for the prosecution he wants to undertake, as he expresses a desire that this group of legal minds start writing opinions and issuing guidance documents in the vein of the Colorado Bar Association (CBA) and the Colorado District Attorneys’ Council (CDAC). Without a coherent legal pathway for prosecution, it appears Rubinstein encouraged this course of action to give prosecutors cover.

Second, Rubinstein notes that it is problematic that they have no formal appointments from a government body to lay the groundwork to prosecute Peters.

Third, Rubinstein informs the group of their need to anticipate defending themselves as to why they didn’t seek an opinion on Peter’s case from the Colorado Bar Association Ethics Commission. Rubinstein and his cronies appear to have succeeded in giving their efforts the veneer of legitimacy because three months after this email was sent, Peters was indicted by a grand jury. (https://www.coloradopolitics.com/courts/tina-peters-arraigned-on-10-felony-misdemeanor-charges-in-case-alleging-election-equipment-breach/article_7ad92362-14ff-11ed-8571-7fe4f678dc82.html)

Another glaring piece of evidence that the Tina Peters case was led by the federal government is that if this was ‘only a Colorado issue’, why was US Attorney General Merrick Garland participating in initial Mesa County discussions via Webex regarding the findings of Clerk Peters and her actions related to those findings?

We also know that the full force of the federal government was directly applied to those associated with Tina’s situation, in that the FBI raided Tina’s home.

In addition, Tina’s associate, Sherronna Bishop, ’s home also raided by the FBI.

Also, ‘My Pillow’ CEO Mike Lindell was also targeted by the FBI, and they confiscated his phone while he was traveling in Minnesota.  These were federal actions.  He was communicating with Tina Peters and offered her his support.

Peters was convicted of first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and identity theft.

The official statement behind Tina Peters’ indictment included mention of the federal government,

 The Mesa County District Attorney’s Office and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office assisted the FBI in the operation, which was described by Mesa County spokesperson Stephanie Reecy as “federally-authorized law enforcement actions into potential criminal activity by employees of the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder’s Office and others associated with those employees.”  Read all about it HERE.

It’s easy to see that the federal government was involved in this case and that the federal actions noted above like the raids (that they conveniently ignore now), indicate that this was much more than a Colorado issue.  (See Tina Peters story and watch “Selection Code” at https://tinapeters.us/ (links from dropdown menu)).

Joe Hoft was on AON a year and a half ago with Dan Ball, and he mentioned that there is an avenue for President Trump to pardon Tina Peters.  If the federal government was behind her arrest and her indictments, or if they ran the operation against Tina, there is good reason to believe that this was a federal operation.  This would open an avenue for President Trump to pardon Tina Peters.

President Trump listened and pardoned Tina Peters.

Sen. Chuck Grassley and GOP Senators Force Esteemed Lawyer and Trump Pick Julianne Murray to Withdraw Her Name from Contention as Acting US Attorney from Delaware

Julianne Moore celebrates after she fought to ban mail-in ballots in Delaware.- With Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson

In 2022 the Delaware Supreme Court ruled that mail-in voting is unconstitutional in the state.
It was a unanimous decision!

Attorney Julianne Murray filed the lawsuit back in July 2022 over the new law that allows voters to request and submit ballots through the mail.

Julianne Murray is a Georgetown-based lawyer who challenged incumbent Attorney General Kathy Jennings in the Attorney General’s race in Delaware in 2024 where she sadly lost to the prominent Democrat.

Julianne Murray has always been a fighter. She has always stood up for what is right.

Julianne Murray was President Trump’s pick as US Attorney and she served Delaware with dignity and focus on one mission – taking down crime.

On Friday Julianne decided to step down as the acting US Attorney for the district of Delaware. She was forced to do this because GOP Senator Chuck Grassley refuses to get rid of the “blue slip” rule in the US Senate that allows Democrats to nullify President Trump’s picks for office.

This is a tremendous loss for the country and President Trump. Julianne is a star and decent person.

Here is her full statement. It is gut wrenching.

Statement from Julianne Murray, Acting U.S. Attorney for Delaware, discussing her tenure, challenges faced, and decision to resign, emphasizing commitment to safety and integrity in law enforcement.GOP Attorney Julianne Murray withdraws her name as Acting US Attorney for the district of Delaware.

This is a huge loss to the American public.

Chuck Grassley and Republicans refuse to get rid of this foolish rule that damages the country. Now we all suffer. What a travesty.

Here is Alina Habba’s reaction.

We have egotistical elected officials who don’t care about their constituents.

For the record – This is what President Trump was posting about this week.

President Trump on TRUTH: “Blue Slips” are making it impossible to get great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys approved to serve in any state where there is even a single Democrat Senator. If they say no, then it is OVER for that very well qualified Republican candidate. Only a really far left Democrat can be approved. It is shocking that Republicans, under Senator Chuck G, allow this scam to continue. So unfair to Republicans, and not Constitutional. I am hereby asking Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a fantastic guy, to get something done, ideally the termination of Blue Slips. Too many GREAT REPUBLICANS are being, SENT PACKIN’. None are getting approved!!! President DJT
