“The U.S. Court of International Trade recently made headlines by issuing an order voiding many of President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs. The case was V.O.S Selections v. United States. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the order pending appeal. When the news hit, many people, including many lawyers, were unaware that the Court of International Trade even existed. A one-time Justice Department lawyer, now a leading radio talk show host, admitted he’d never heard of the tribunal and then mistakenly suggested it was merely an administrative agency rather than a court created under Article III of the Constitution. But it is a real Article III court. Congress established it in 1980 as the successor to the U.S. Customs Court. Its decision in the V.O.S Selections case is worth attention.” (06/16/25)
