In a stunning twist of judicial gymnastics, a judge appointed by President Biden slapped down an attempt by California Democrats to challenge Trump’s tariffs. Governor Gavin Newsom and his Attorney General Rob Bonta tried to torpedo the tariffs Trump imposed during his presidency, claiming they violated the separation of powers. They were hoping that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act wouldn’t cover Trump’s savvy moves for addressing the trade deficit. But the judge saw through this thinly veiled attempt and dismissed the case.
Biden’s own judge in the Northern District of California recognized that this matter squarely belonged in the Court of International Trade. Conveniently, the Democrats were ready to scream victory, claiming they’re one step closer to getting their liberal allies at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals involved. The irony here is too rich; Newsom and his cohorts seem emboldened to spin defeat into some sort of incremental win. Skating on thin ice, they’re attempting to send this to a court known for liberal biased decisions.
California seems to thrive on wasting taxpayers’ dollars in a desperate bid to challenge effective policies. It’s breathtaking how these so-called leaders twist rulings to fit their narrative, parading their appeal plans like a flag of triumph. Why do they assume appealing to the Nanny State bench will bring them victory? Perhaps because it’s a court infamous for ignoring what’s best for hard-working Americans. The Democrats want control, and here is another shot at it.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration stands steadfast, arguing these tariffs are necessary for national security and economic balance. The tariffs are not some whimsy of power; they are part of a broader strategy to put America first, a concept seemingly foreign to the California politicians attacking it. Do the Democrats not see that these tariffs serve the greater American interest by addressing chronic trade issues? Or is seeking to undermine Trump a bigger priority than helping American industry thrive?
Patriotic Americans must ask: when will liberal leaders stop using the courts to dismantle progress? As California rushes to appeal, the rest of the country can only hope sanity prevails in the highest courts. The State of California might think they’re on the precipice of a groundbreaking legal victory, but it’s more like they’re setting America up for another ride on the roller coaster of leftist legal maneuvering.
