A judge discarded the California case against President Trump’s tariffs this week, but the case will continue because the country itself demanded the dismissal.

The State Prosecutor’s Office Rob Bont said he would immediately appeal the Court of Appeal of the United States for the 9th round.

The Trump administration has requested the California case in April to be transferred to the US court of international trade. The judge of the Federal Court of San Francisco rejected the transfer on Monday, although she said she believes that tariff questions belong to the federal trade court.

“So managementS She also wrote that the Trump administration “cannot” formulate “why it would serve the interest of justice – in other words, to be fair – to transfer the case.

Bont said in a statement that he was “pleased” that the decision was given a chance for the state to bring the case to the 9th chain. Bont claims that Trump’s tariffs are illegal under the International Emergency Emergency Act, which the administration says gives the President the power to impose wide -ranging rates.

Trump has already lost two cases that have made the same arguments. Last week, the court of international trade ruled that the tariffs were illegal because Trump had exceeded his authority under this law. This decision, in a case filed by Oregon, 11 other countries and five businesses, was detained in anticipation of an appeal by the Trump administration. A Judge of the Federal District Court in Washington, Colombia District, also made a similar determination last week in a claim filed by several small businesses.

Tariffs – which have so far been affected California ports., Farming and other industries – Stay in force in the meantime.

Legal experts say that Bont is more likely to get a favorable decision in the 9th round of appeal, which has a reputation for liberal. But they differ whether the case belongs to this court.

“It’s hard to see how it belongs to the 9th round,” says Richard Steinberg, a professor at UCLA’s legal school. “This is a tariff case.”

Brian Peck, an assistant professor at the University of South California Gould the Law School, said that “the whole question is whether (the International Economic Forces Law on Emergency Situations) gives the President a power, which is a more constitutional issue, so it should be in front of the 9th round, not the court of international trade.”

The appeal of the commercial court will land before the Court of Appeal for the Federal Chain, which the Peck said could be more favorable to the Trump administration, since it was historically more awarded to the presidential powers.

Bont recently spoke of his rally rational case in San Francisco’s business leaders, and he noted that the act “does not mention the word tariffs”.

“Because the court of international trade deals with civil actions arising from US customs and international trade laws – which we claim does not include (the Emergency Economic Forces Act) – we believe that the 9th round has a suitable jurisdiction here,” writes Elisa Perez, a spokesman for the Prosecutor General.

The White House did not respond to Calmatters’ request for comment.

Peck and Steinberg said they believe that the issue of Trump’s powers will impose tariffs on the way he does – wide and without consulting Congress – he will probably end up before the Supreme Court.

Steinberg said the Trump administration may quote other statutes that give him the authority to impose tariffs, but they will be more restrictive. But he has no doubt that the president will continue to try.

“This is an endless game of Whack-A-Mole,” Steinberg said.
