   a law that doesn't even mention tariffs is not an unconstitutional   
   usurpation of legislative power, I don't know what is," Somin said in   
   April.   
      
   Separately, and using similar arguments, twelve Democratic states sued   
   the administration in the same court for "illegally imposing" tax hikes   
   on Americans through the tariffs.   
      
   "We brought this case because the Constitution doesn't give any   
   president unchecked authority to upend the economy. This ruling   
   reaffirms that our laws matter, and that trade decisions can't be made   
   on the president's whim," Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in   
   a statement Wednesday.   
      
   The judges on the Manhattan panel were each appointed by a different   
   president. Judge Jane Restani was appointed to the US Court of   
   International Trade by President Ronald Reagan. Judge Gary Katzmann was   
   appointed to the court by President Barack Obama. Judge Timothy Reif   
   was appointed by President Trump.   
      
   The immediate higher court is the federal circuit, though it could   
   potentially go right to the Supreme Court.   
      
   The United States Court of International Trade is a federal court in   
   Manhattan that handles disputes over customs and international trade   
   laws.
