Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley (N.D. Cal.) on Monday ruled that the Court of International Trade has exclusive jurisdiction over the state of California’s challenge to Trump’s IEEPA tariffs and dismissed the case without prejudice. California noticed its appeal of the court’s decision to the Ninth Circuit. (Order and opinion.)
Steve Vladeck contended that criticism of district court judges that have ruled against the Trump administration does not consider the volume of its actions, the rulings it has chosen not to challenge, that much of the relief it has received has been granted on procedural grounds, and its defiant behavior toward court rulings and attacks on judges. (One First.)
