HUGH HEWITT (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): I read the opinion this morning by Judges Katzmann, Reif, and Restani. The trade court is just another district court, it just has three district court judges hearing this. They're very good at trade matters, not so good at con law. It will be appealed to the federal circuit, it will eventually end up at the Supreme Court. I understand their ruling on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act but they don't do a lot of con law, and I do not understand why they did not stay their injunction, because they are messing up a lot of ongoing negotiation.

So, I think it was reckless in the extreme for three district court judges to mess up all these international trade issues. And I do understand the China trade tariffs as being national security. I can even understand the 10% international, the global 10% tariff as being related to a sort of tax on our defense budget that we do for the rest of the world. So, whatever the opinion of these three judges, they're just district judges. They're not very self-aware.

It's got to get up to the federal circuit. I hope it's stayed immediately. It's got to eventually go to the Supreme Court, because the IEEP has -- it's a case of first impression for this kind of question, the IEEPA of '77. So, it will eventually get to the Supreme Court. So, I just wish they had stayed it. And I hope the federal circuit stays it today.
