Donald Trump vs. His Own Judges
President Trump is expert at downplaying his failures, but attacking his own success is something new. That's what happened Thursday as he lashed out at the conservative Federalist Society after a judge he appointed was part of a unanimous panel that struck down his tariffs. 'I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten!' Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social.

What Is the Obscure Trade Court That Blocked Trump's Tariffs?
The Court of International Trade is a New York-based federal court. It has nationwide jurisdiction over tariff and trade disputes. Currently it has 14 judges, appointed by six presidents. A single judge typically presides over a case, but a three-judge panel hears cases that raise constitutional questions or have significant implications—like the Trump tariff case. Congress created the court in 1980 as a successor to the U.S. Customs Court. The customs court had operated for decades in Manhattan—a legacy of when New York City was the busiest harbor for U.S. imports. The current court has largely operated in obscurity. 'Most lawyers will get out of law school without knowing that it exists,' says one specialist attorney. Go deeper:

Where Does Trump's Trade War Go With Tariffs in Legal Limbo?
By , Josh Wingrove, Shawn Donnan, and Laura Curtis Updated on Save The US Court of International Trade ruled May 28 that the vast majority of President Donald Trump's tariffs were issued illegally and ordered them blocked, which would deliver a blow to a key pillar of his economic agenda. A day later, an appeals court gave Trump's administration a temporarily reprieve from the ruling while weighing a longer-lasting hold. In a unanimous ruling by a panel of three judges, the New York-based trade court concluded that Trump wrongfully invoked an emergency law to justify the levies. It was a rare rebuke as the courts tend to defer to the president on trade matters.

Trump Officials Intensify Attacks on Judges as Court Losses Mount
Most Americans have never heard of the U.S. Court of International Trade, which has wide-ranging authority over trade matters. But after a three-judge panel ruled against the president's aggressive tariff regime Wednesday evening, the response from President Trump and his allies was both immediate and familiar. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, called the decision a 'judicial coup' on social media. 'We are living under a judicial tyranny,' Mr. Miller added on Thursday, reposting photos of the three trade court judges. Two of the judges were Republican appointees, one named to the bench by Mr. Trump. Even by the judge-bashing standards of the Trump administration, the White House's sharp reactions this week to court decisions curtailing its agenda appeared to intensify a strategic effort to undermine confidence in the judiciary. 'Trump's attack on the judges is an attempt to undo the separation of powers,' Ty Cobb, a lawyer who defended Mr. Trump in a special counsel investigation in his first term, said in an interview. 'It's an attempt to take what is three coequal branches and make it one dominant branch.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
