(DCNF)—A federal appeals court has struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, ruling that his administration overstepped its legal authority by invoking emergency powers to impose duties on goods, according to the court filing.
A federal court blocked Trump’s emergency tariff orders in May, ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the sweeping reciprocal tariffs he imposed in April. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Aug. 29 upheld a lower court decision invalidating five executive orders that levied tariffs under the IEEPA.
Writing for the majority, the judges said that the IEEPA’s authorization to “regulate importation” does not grant the president the power to unilaterally impose taxes on trade. The dispute centered on two sets of tariffs issued early in 2025.
The first, dubbed the “Trafficking Tariffs,” followed Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the southern border. Citing the flow of opioids and criminal activity from Mexico, Canada, and China, Trump ordered 25% duties on nearly all Mexican and Canadian imports and a 10% duty on Chinese goods, later raised to 20%.
The second package, the “Reciprocal Tariffs,” was broader. In April 2025, Trump imposed a baseline 10% duty on imports from almost every U.S. trading partner, with additional duties ranging up to 50% depending on the country. China’s rate was ratcheted up as high as 125% before being rolled back during negotiations.
These tariffs were to remain in place indefinitely, subject only to presidential modification. The orders prompted lawsuits from both private companies and a coalition of 12 states. They said that Congress, not the White House, holds the constitutional power to impose tariffs, and that Trump’s actions far exceeded any authority delegated under IEEPA.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
This judge needs to be in the looney bin; the judge has clearly stepped over the line into executive power and SCOTUS needs to lock his heels this is ridiculous that we have so many utterly ignorant judges and they are destroying any trust there may have been in the judiciary!
YES, Free Thinker’s Comment is 100% correct
“This judge needs to be in the looney bin; the judge has clearly stepped over the line into executive power and SCOTUS needs to lock his heels this is ridiculous that we have so many utterly ignorant judges and they are destroying any trust there may have been in the judiciary!”
It’s not that the judge is ignorant or looney. These judges and Demoncrats are desperate to stop any Trump agenda, especially one that strengthens our economy through fair trade practices. Of course these judges should have nothing to say about an administration’s international trade practices.
These traitorous judges think they are the elected President. All of them need ptprosecuted. All of the financials need reviewed. They all need jailed or exiled. This is nothing more than democrat lawfare. The democrats are the domestic enemies that our Founders warned us of. They are a terrorist organization. The Trump administration and Congress need to grow some bales and arrest these judges. I am sick of this happening. START ARRESTING DEMOCRAT LEADERS AS TRAITORS NOW!
These tariffs are working so well that the communists….er…..democrats are going to get
CRUSHED in the mid terms. So, the wholly owned commie judiciary is trying desperately
trying to save the socialists from the looming disaster. It won’t work. We The People voted for this.
Exactly. Tariffs are working great and that is why this so-called judge wands them removed…
The only good judge is a dead one, apparently.
the TARIFFS are working the TDS is in full effect – GOD forbid he should succeed.
The judges have names.
Make sure they get their FAIR, 3 minute, single treason charge, tribunal.
And upon conviction for treason, let justice sting them before the sun sets that same day.
We would find a lot less judges willing to commit treason against the people for money.
Thanks to the Kenyan and Biden, the judicial system is infested with libtard cockroaches all the way up to the supreme court.
I had no idea when I voted that I was voting for judges. This is crazy how many presidents we have now…Looks like Trumps power has been taken away…This wont fix until these new presidents in black robes are put in prison.
Next, Democrat judges will probably say that President Trump is making NATO pay too much for their own defense, and that we have to pay them hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations and a deep apology for not letting them walk all over as like usual.
Clearly, if it’s good for America, it’s bad for Democrats.
I am so over these moronic judges AND over Trump obeying them even when they clearly are completely outside their constitutional authority.
Just ignore these bozos and keep moving on.
These judges have no power to enforce their illegal rulings. Unless they can convince the military to take action, that will never happen. Ignore their rulings and move on.
So what, it will be overturned just like all the other BS libtard judicial rulings.
So can anybody tell me what exactly the emergency is?
