Federal Trade Court Justices Elevate Themselves to the Presidency, Rule That Trump Doesn't Have the Power to Set Tariffs as Joe Biden and Barack Obama Did

On May 15th, Deb Heine wrote a story for American Greatness reporting that three judges had been "hand-picked" to hear the case on Trump's tariffs -- judges who were guaranteed to overrule the elected President.

According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett "fixed" the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would "overrule the president" and render his tariffs "null and void."

Source: The Fix Is In to Torpedo Trump's Tariffs in New York Trade Court

The fix appears to be in for two court cases against President Donald Trump's tariffs, according to a very knowledgeable source.

Last month, five domestic businesses filed a lawsuit in a little known trade court in New York challenging Trump's tariffs, arguing they have to rely on imported goods that are not reasonably available to them in the U.S.

In his April 2 executive order imposing a set of reciprocal tariffs, Trump declared a national emergency, calling trade deficits a threat to the nation's national security and economy.

Trump's tariffs are central to his economic agenda and designed to reduce the trade deficits between the United States and other world powers.

A three-judge panel at the United States Court of International Trade in lower Manhattan heard arguments in the case Tuesday, and reportedly "appeared skeptical" of the president's arguments.

If the panel decides that Trump's emergency declaration was unlawful, it would effectively block the president's global tariffs and upend his economic agenda.

The chief judge of the United States Court of International Trade is Mark A Barnett, who joined the court in 2013 after a nomination from President Barack Obama. He became chief judge on April 6, 2021.

According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett "fixed" the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would "overrule the president" and render his tariffs "null and void."

The source told American Greatness he was given this information by "very reliable people" who are "very close to the court."
