Trump tariff lawsuit tossed, California says it will appeal
Trump tariff lawsuit tossed, California says it will appeal District Judge Jacqueline Corley ruled California should have sued in the Court of International Trade, which has jurisdiction over tariff disputes. Show Caption Hide Caption Donald Trump doubling tariffs on foreign steel President Trump, during a visit to a U.S. Steel facility in Pennsylvania, announced he will double tariffs on foreign steel to 50%. Judge Corley did not delve into the merits of California's lawsuit against Trump's tariffs. Legal experts expect the Supreme Court to ultimately decide the legality of the tariffs. NEW YORK − A U.S. judge dismissed California's challenge to President Donald Trump's tariffs, allowing the state to file an appeal over the court's ruling that the dispute should have been filed in a specialized U.S. trade court in New York. The ruling, handed down late June 2 by U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Corley in San Francisco, did not delve into the merits of California's lawsuit. Now, three separate U.S. appeals courts may simultaneously consider the legality of Trump's sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners and a separate set of tariffs targeting imports from China, Mexico and Canada. Since February, Trump has issued new tariffs, paused tariffs from taking effect, and raised and lowered rates as he attempts to negotiate new trade deals with other nations. The on-again and off-again tariffs have whipsawed businesses who work with international suppliers.

A panel of three judges in the Manhattan-based U.S. Court of International Trade and a federal judge in Washington D.C. have already declared that Trump did not have unilateral authority to impose tariffs without input from Congress. The Trump administration has appealed both rulings, in cases brought by 12 U.S. states and several small businesses. Corley's ruling is more limited than either of those decisions and does not address the legality of Trump's tariffs. Instead, Corley ruled California should have sued in the Court of International Trade, which has exclusive jurisdiction over tariff disputes in the U.S. California, which opposed the transfer, had asked the judge to dismiss its case rather than transfer it, which will allow it to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. More: Trump pushes countries for best offers as tariff deadline looms The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. has temporarily paused the trade court's ruling, which allows the tariffs to remain in place for now, while it considers whether to impose a longer term stay while an appeal of that ruling plays out. California argues that any federal court can hear the case because it raises constitutional objection to Trump's use of tariff powers that are reserved for Congress unless delegated to a president.

The Trump acronym about tariffs, explained The law that Trump has cited to justify the tariffs, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, does not authorize tariffs at all, so it can not force California to litigate in the trade court, California's Attorney General Rob Bonta said. "Our argument is straightforward. Trump doesn't have the authority to impose these destructive tariffs,' Bonta said in a statement. The lawsuits challenge Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs on imports from most U.S trading partners, as well as a separate set of tariffs levied on China, Mexico and Canada. The latter are related to his accusation that the three countries were facilitating the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., allegations the countries deny.

US judge dismisses California's tariff lawsuit, teeing up appeal
By Dietrich Knauth NEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. judge dismissed the state of California's challenge to President Donald Trump's tariffs, allowing the state to file an appeal over the court's ruling that the dispute should have been filed in a specialized U.S. trade court in New York.

'We built this off of the Cosmic Realms that we did earlier, that was West Virginias first sci-fi convention and it turns out that people really love this stuff,' Corley said. 'I mean, we knew that they loved this stuff and it's weird that nobody has taken the time to concentrate that love into a show. So we're just like, I guess it's us and we're just doing it now and everybody's had such a fun time this weekend. There's so much community building that's going on.'

Meet the University of Texas' oldest ever graduate, who earned his PhD at 78
AUSTIN (KXAN) — 'Don't quit.' That's somewhat of a life motto for Charles 'Chuck' Corley, who just became the oldest person to ever earn a Ph.D. at the Cockrell School of Engineering and The University of Texas at Austin. Corley earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in December 2024 and walked across the stage in early May to be hooded by his advisor, Prof. Earl Swartzlander. 'You think, 'why am I doing this?' If you just keep thinking, 'if I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, I will eventually finish,'' Corley said. 'You begin to realize, you know, 'I may not be first. I probably won't be first. I might be last, but if I just keep going, I will finish.' And that became kind of a model for the PhD is, you know, it's hard, it's hard to justify, but if I just keep going, I will finish. And there was satisfaction in that accomplishment.' It took him over a decade to complete the coursework for his PhD, and it was his fifth degree overall. 'After retirement, I thought, 'What am I going to do with a PhD?'' Corley said. 'And I thought, 'well, I could put the plaque on the wall,'' he joked. Corley said he probably could have done it sooner in life, but when he graduated from the Air Force Academy with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering in 1968, the Vietnam War was at its peak, and 'there was a need for pilots,' and 'less opportunity to go to graduate school,' he said. So, he went through pilot training and then onto Vietnam. When Corley returned from deployment, he became an instructor pilot at the old Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock. After that, the Academy sponsored his master's degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology so he could return to the Academy to teach. He taught four and a half years at the Air Force Academy. Before starting PhD coursework at UT, Corley studied computer programming at Austin Community College. He actually graduated from the program alongside his daughter in 2013. 'In the process, my granddaughter, as a high school student, was taking courses at ACC, so there was a semester in which we had three generations at ACC which, which was a lot of fun,' he said. 'And then my daughter and I graduated in summer of 2013, and I started University of Texas that fall.' Corley said UT was the logical choice because he was already in Austin, and it was local. But he said he's grateful for the experience. 'They were gracious to admit me,' Corley said. 'I had an advisor, Dr. Earl Swartzlander, who was very supportive and said, 'You know, I will sponsor you.'' 'So many other professors, you know, are kind of inclined to pick up younger students because there's more, more history to be earned being associated with the younger students. So I'm very grateful that I had that opportunity,' he said. Corley also expressed immense gratitude to his wife and family, who supported him through his education. 'The whole graduation experience from UT has been heightened by the presence and the support of my family,' Corley said. 'You know, everyone faces that question, 'Am I going to walk?' And the answer from my children and grandchildren says, 'Well, of course, you're going to walk,' and the celebration was all in their hands.' He said earning a PhD was a lifelong goal, and that 'don't quit' mindset — which he picked up through running and training for marathons — kept him going. 'Like I said earlier, I could have potentially done this a lot earlier in life, but for the intervention of the Vietnam War, I think it would have changed my life dramatically in terms of what I did and what I became, but I was just always desirous of kind of finishing the education to the point of having a PhD,' Corley said. Corley's favorite part of being a Longhorn? Sports. Specifically, the women's volleyball team 'has just been captivating' for him. 'We watch volleyball regularly, so that's been a lot of fun to be associated with the school that has such success in those athletic programs.' As for what's next, Corley isn't entirely sure. But he said he might finally get around to finishing some home projects he's been putting off. Corley also said it's 'tempting to think about possibly teaching again,' but he has no solid plans yet.

Women's athletics take center stage at Title 9 Sports Grill
If you're looking for a good spot to watch the Phoenix Mercury this season, the Valley's first sports bar focused on women's athletics might be right up your alley. State of play: Title 9 Sports Grill opened in March in the space previously occupied by Short Leash Hot Dogs in the Melrose District. The bar was opened by Audrey Corley, owner of Boycott Bar and Dahlia Tapas, Tequila and Wine, and Kat Moore, who owned Short Leash with her husband, Brad. Corley, who played and coached basketball at Phoenix College, thought about opening a women-focused sports bar for at least three years and was looking at locations. The perfect opportunity came along when Kat and Brad Moore reached out, she told Axios. She compared the new sports bar to the new-look Phoenix Mercury. "We're the new kids on the block and so is our whole team. I think we're going to grow up together." Why it matters: Title 9 came along as women's sports in the U.S. is in the midst of a major moment, which Corley called long overdue. "Basketball has been such an intricate part of my life," she said. "And right now I think the push and the energy behind women's basketball is just kind of where it's at." The bar is named for the 1972 federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education programs and activities, which opened the door to women's athletics as we now know them. Zoom in: Corley said Title 9 is off to a good start. The bar opened on the eve of the NCAA women's basketball tournament, and did great business during the Final Four and championship. Some customers have been older women who missed out on the benefits of Title IX themselves and relish the opportunity to relive the athletics of their youth. Plus, "You'd be surprised how many guys we get," Corley added.
