1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Law with June Grosseo from Bloomberg Radio.

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: I have an open spot or the Federal Reserve Board.

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm very happy about that.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump suddenly has a chance to fill an

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: opening at the Federal Reserve earlier than expected, after FED

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Governor Adrianna Kugler announced her resignation on Friday. Kugler's exit

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: unfolds amid unprecedented political pressure from the White House on

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: the Central Bank over monetary policy, with Trump often launching

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: personal insults at your own Powell. The current chair joining

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: me is Catherine Judge, a professor at Columbia Law School. Kate,

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: what's your reaction to Kugler's departure.

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: I was surprised she is the next governor to leave. Naturally,

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: her term expires early in twenty twenty six, so it's

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: clearly a spot that President Trump is going to be

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: able to have available in the relatively near future. But

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: this short window of time changes dynamics in a meaningful way.

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: Among other things, her spot was seen as a like

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: b position for the person that President Trump would like

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: to bring in to be the next chair, So this

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: really potentially accelerates that process and could lead to even

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: more intense pressure on Powell to step down from his

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: position as chair.

23
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: When President Trump was leaving the White House on Friday,

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: he said that he was very happy to have an

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: open spot, and he told reporters that she was stepping

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: down because she disagreed with quote too late on the

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: interest rates. That's his derogatory term for Powell. But does

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: that align with her publicly stated views.

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: We have not seen anything to that effect in what

30
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: she has stated publicly. We have seen disagreement with Van

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: Koogler and Michael Barr on the one hand, and other

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: members of the board on the other hand. Are matters

33
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: of regulation, and it does look as though the current board,

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: under the effective leadership of a vice chare for supervision

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: Michelle Bowman, is going to engage in a deregulatory agenda.

36
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: So on that front, it does look like there was

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: a difference of opinion, But that's not necessarily a reason

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: for her to accelerate her departure. If anything, that's the

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: reason for her to stick around and to let her

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: voice and vote be heard.

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: Trump says he's going to appoint the next FED governor.

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Will you explain why he basically has to appoint the

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: next FED governor to fill her spot, so.

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: He has to choose the chair among the governors. Powell's

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: term as chair expires in May of next year. His

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: term his governor doesn't expire until twenty twenty eight. It

47
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: is possible that Powell stepped down as governor at the

48
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: same time he sets down share, but that is by

49
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: no means guaranteed, and because there are no other additional

50
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: slots open, Chris Waller, who's a Republican who Trump previously

51
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: put on the Board of Governors, is a possibility or

52
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: FED chair, as if he wants to promote Waller, then

53
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: he wouldn't need to use this slot for purposes of

54
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: introducing somebody who would then take over as chair. But

55
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: if he does want Kevin Hassett or Kevin warsh or

56
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: any of the other names that have been bandied about,

57
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: this slot might be his critical opportunity.

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Are there any indications as to whom he's favoring for

59
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: the role.

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: There's been rumors that hast has been taking over as lead.

61
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: Kevin Worsh's names has been around for a long time.

62
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: We have certainly seen both of them actively campaigning for

63
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: the job in their public statements have been very supportive

64
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: of the lower interesting streat policies that Trump would otherwise

65
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: like to see in place, But we have heard nothing

66
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: official from the White House the respect who's likely to

67
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: be the next comanee.

68
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: The Open Market Committee voted nine to two to leave

69
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: rates unchanged, so one more vote won't necessarily make a difference.

70
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: It's hard to know. I mean, then this is really hard.

71
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: So first of all, the site is already facing an

72
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: environment in which they might be changing course independent of

73
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: a new chair coming in. The most recent jobs numbers

74
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: look weaker than they expected, and there have been some

75
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: revisions for a variety of reasons to think that there

76
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: might have already been a modest changing course underway. But

77
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: you're right, I mean, one of the key things to

78
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: keep in mind is the Federal Open Market Committee is

79
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: a twelve member committee, and the chair or kind of

80
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: the expected chair, is only one of those votes. As

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: one of the things that Trump past to kind of

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: keep in mind, and that we all have to keep

83
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: in mind as we're watching, is how effective is the

84
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: new going to be garnering support for a meaningfully different

85
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: trajectory for policy. And that's going to be one of

86
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: the open questions as something new comes in, both what

87
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: is the interest rate corrector they want to see and

88
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: what are the tools they're going to use to try

89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: to convince fella members of the Federal Open Market Committee,

90
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: But actually a different policy courses for the best in.

91
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: The past have fed Governor's not been able to convince

92
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: the Open Market Committee to do what they want.

93
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: What we haven't seen in the past is quite as

94
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: clear of a mismatch between what the President wants to

95
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: see happen and what the current interust rate policy is.

96
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: So we've certainly seen nominees come in because they are

97
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: meant to kind of change the directory. Paul Volker famously

98
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: was appointed because there was suddenly an appreciation that inflation

99
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: and managing inflation had to be the priority. That being said,

100
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: that was an insight that the Board also shared and

101
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: that President shared. So we did have some struggle at

102
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: times with aspects of his policy getting the level of

103
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: support he wanted. On the other hand, he was actually

104
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: pushing against the president, pushing against short term political will

105
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: and pushing for kind of a longer term vision than

106
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: aligned with the core mission of the Federal Reserve, which

107
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: is fighting inflation and promoting maximum employment. So in that instance,

108
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: it was a very different set of dynamics. So this

109
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: is a different type of transition because we have a

110
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: president who had just been so outspoken for such a

111
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: long time about wanting monetary policy to look dramatically different

112
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: than it has.

113
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen this kind of pressure from the

114
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: White House on the FED.

115
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: Chair, No, No one has. We've certainly seen pressure from

116
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: the White House on the FED chair in the past,

117
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: and on the pig reserve in the past. The classic

118
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 3: concern is that the president always wants monetary policy to

119
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: be some more accommodative than the said oftentimes wants it

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: to be. There's certain times that those interests are allives.

121
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: During a depression, during difficult times, accommodated monetary policy is

122
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: the right policy given the FEDS du a manadate. But

123
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: in moments like now, where the Fed's looking long term

124
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: and trying to think about what does it need to

125
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 3: do to make sure that it successfully fights off the

126
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: reason bout of inflation, there's a possibility for conflict, and

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: so LBJ famously kind of pushed around William mcchezie martinin.

128
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: So we've certainly seen presidents in those past that have

129
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: pushed around FED chairs and pushed around the FED, and

130
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: that's because they oftentimes do want monetary policy to be

131
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: somewhat more commodative. Then is prudence given the medium to

132
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: longer term interest in trying to mainstain stable prices. And

133
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: that's when those conflicts have come into place. But what

134
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: we haven't seen is this type of continual pressure where

135
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: the FED chair is really targeted in an ongoing and

136
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: repeated way, and where the President isn't just suggesting that

137
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: rate should be a little lower or that monetary condition

138
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: should be somewhat more accommodative, but is really seeking but

139
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: seems to be a very different approach to monetary policy

140
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: than the current Federal Reserve is pursuing at a time

141
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: where there is still some reason at least to worry

142
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: about inflation.

143
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: The nominee, whoever Trump chooses, will have to be confirmed

144
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: by the Senate. But if that person is then chosen

145
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: as the chair that does or doesn't need Senate confirmation.

146
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: That also is a Senate confirmation process. And there's also

147
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 3: this additional oddity this person is going to face kind

148
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: of the ringer. There's a Senate confirmation to fulfill the

149
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 3: remainder of Coogler's term. But the way this sat a

150
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: reserve works oftentimes for agencies, once you are confirmed, you

151
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: have a period in office that dates from when you

152
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: are confirms You might have five years from the time

153
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: you actually take office. For example. The way the fatal

154
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: reserve works is there are these fourteen year terms on

155
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: a staggered basis, and they are fourteen year terms in

156
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: part to limit the ability of anyone president to appoint

157
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: too many different governors, but partly because of that distinct

158
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: staggered structure. When somebody is nominated to fulfill a seat

159
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: for somebody who's leaving before their end of the term,

160
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: as Cooper is, they only are confirmed to the end

161
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 3: of that term. So in theory, if this person manages

162
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: to go through hearings and confirmations in time to fill

163
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: the seat before it naturally become vacant, there might have

164
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: to be a nominal second process to have a person

165
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 3: actually confirmed again when the term expires.

166
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Trump on Friday call for the Board of Governors to

167
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: usurp the power of the FED chair. He said in

168
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: all caps, the board should assume control and do what

169
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: everyone knows has to do be done.

170
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of things to say there.

171
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: So first of all, as we were discussing earlier, each

172
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: member of the FMC is not just the board the FOMC.

173
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: The Federal Up the Market Committee, which determines monetary policy,

174
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: is a twelve member committee, so all seven members of

175
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: the board governors have votes on that committee, but so

176
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: do five presidents. So the policy makers involved are not

177
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: just governors, and the governors are exercising their independent judgments.

178
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: We saw two governors actually dissent and they did suggest

179
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: that more accommodative monetary policy was appropriate, but we saw

180
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: the rest of the governors go along and actually agree

181
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: with Powell that the preferred approach was the right approach

182
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: to take.

183
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court in a May decision suggested that Trump

184
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: couldn't remove Powell because of policy disagreements. Is there any

185
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: feeling for whether the administration is still trying to get

186
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: him removed.

187
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two different issues. So one we did to

188
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: be this effort with the renovations, which really looks pretextable. Right.

189
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: What we know is Trump wants lower interest rates. He

190
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: blames Powells for the interest rates being what they are,

191
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: and so he was looking at the cost overruns and

192
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: trying to use that as potentially a basist for removing

193
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: Powell for cause that has seemed to have passed at

194
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: least modestly passed. But it does suggest that Trump might

195
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: still be on the lookout for other pretextual grounds for removal.

196
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: The other issue that remains an issue particularly and actually

197
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: becomes more of a live issue since Coopler is stepping down,

198
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: is might he try to appoint somebody else as chair

199
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: and not remove Powell but merely demote Powell? And here

200
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: are the laws little tricky and the Supreme Court decision

201
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: which wasn't even really a decision as part of their

202
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: shadow docket, did it resolve the question of whether Powell

203
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: can be devoted. The statutory language is very clear governors

204
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: of the SUTA Reserve can be moved from the role

205
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: of governors only for cost, so there's very clear statutory protection.

206
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: There By contrast, the chair and the various vie chairs

207
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: have four year terms. The vote is to fourteen year

208
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: terms and there's no explicit four cause removal protection. There's

209
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: arguments that he can still be demoted only for cause

210
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 3: and not for policy. Differences, but there is a real

211
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: risk that that legal question will be tested in a

212
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: more pressing way now that the window of time between

213
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: when he can get a new nominee onto the board

214
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 3: and when Powell's terms chair comes to a natural end.

215
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: Now that the window is to come Bonger, this falls.

216
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: Into the more questions than answers category. Thanks so much, Catherine.

217
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: That's Professor Catherine Judge of Columbia Law School.

218
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: The US Treasury has taken in one hundred and fifty

219
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: billion dollars from tariffs, and we'll be adding about two

220
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars next month, four totals that nobody's ever

221
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: seen before.

222
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: Frankly, the challengers to President Trump's tariffs say they rest

223
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: on a quote breath taking claim to power that no

224
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: president has asserted in two hundred years, and a federal

225
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: appeals court appeared skeptical about Trump's authority to issue the

226
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: sweeping global tariffs under an emergency law that has never

227
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: been used for that purpose and doesn't even mention tariffs.

228
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: In May, the U s Court of International Trade ruled

229
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: that the vast majority of President Trump's levies were issued

230
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: illegally and ordered them blocked. The Federal Circuit Court of

231
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: Appeals gave the Trump administration a temporary reprieve, but during

232
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the high stakes oral arguments last week before the circuit's

233
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: entire slate of eleven active judges, it appeared that several

234
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: were skeptical of the government's arguments. A decision finding against

235
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: the tariffs will almost certainly be appealed to the Supreme Court.

236
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: My guest is Simmy Garula, a professor at Notre Dame

237
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: Law School and the former Undersecretary for Enforcement at the

238
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Department of the Treasury. Jimmy, will you start by explaining

239
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: what authority President Trump is using to impose these tariffs.

240
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: Now, President Trump is using a law called the International

241
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: Emergency Economic Powers Act, and it goes by the acrony

242
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: i EPA, and IIPA does authorize the President to impose

243
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: economic sanctions on individuals, entities, even countries in response to

244
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 4: an unusual and extraordinary emergency. So that's the precondition for

245
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: the exercise of these economic sanctions. The President has to

246
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: declare that there is an unusual and extraordinary emergency that

247
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: has its source in whole or in substantial part outside

248
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: the United State, and further that threatens national security, foreign policy,

249
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: or the economy of the United States. So that's the

250
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: statute that the president is relying upon. There's a couple

251
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: of very serious problems with using IIPA. First and foremost,

252
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: AIPA never mentions tariffs. The word tariff does not occur

253
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: even one time in the text of the statute. And second,

254
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: AIPA was enacted to Congress in nineteen seventy seven, and

255
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: no president in the history of AIPA has ever cited

256
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: AIPA as the authority to authorize the position of tariffs.

257
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: So this is the only president in the entire history

258
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,359
Speaker 4: of AIPA that's ever cited aipa's authority for imposing tariffs

259
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: on foreign countries.

260
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: The challenges here were a group of democratic led states

261
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: and small businesses. Is what was their basic argument.

262
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: Their basic argument was, first that a EPA just doesn't apply,

263
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: that it does not provide authority for the president to

264
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: impose economic sanctions. And again for the reason the basic

265
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: particulate character i'll mention of the statute, no president has

266
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: ever used a EPA to justify the imposition of terrorists,

267
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: So that's argument number one. Argument number two is that

268
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: even if AEFA did apply that there's some serious questions

269
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: about whether or not the president is properly using or

270
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: satisfied the requirements of a EPA. You know, for example,

271
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: what is the unusual and extraordinary emergency that justifies economic

272
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: sanctions in the form of terrorists? And here the president

273
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: has articulated many different so called emergency. On the one hand,

274
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 4: it's a trade deficit, you know, that's the unusual exurin

275
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: or emergency. On the other hand, it's the fetanyl crisis,

276
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: the importation of the fetanyl from Mexico, Canada and China.

277
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 4: And the third yes, and even cited immigration. You know,

278
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: the immigration is the emergency. But first there's a question about, well,

279
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 4: is a trade deficit really an unusual insternary emergency. We've

280
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 4: had trade deficits with countries around the world for decades.

281
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: I mean, that's nothing new. Trade deficit with China, trade

282
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: deficit with Mexico, Canada, with the EU, that's nothing new.

283
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: So what is so usual and extraordinary about trade deficits today?

284
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: That again triggers the application of a EPOS. And then

285
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: there's another problem with the actual application of the statute.

286
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: And when we look at the feedinyl crisis, for example,

287
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: approximately eighty eight percent of fetanol that consumed in the

288
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: United States comes to across the Mexican border, the border

289
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: with the US and Mexico. Only eight percent comes across

290
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: the Canadian board. So if AIPA is being used or

291
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: the emergency is fetnol involving the importation from Canada, Canada

292
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 4: is only responsible for a very small percentage of fetnol

293
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 4: coming across the US Canada borders. But there doesn't appear

294
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 4: to be a nexus or a close nexus between the

295
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 4: so called crisis and the targets of the tariffs and

296
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: the sanctioned They are being closed on various countries.

297
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: So what was the government's response to that.

298
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: One response is that, well, this involves foreign affairs, and

299
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 4: in the area of foreign affairs, the Supreme Court is

300
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 4: recognized that the president has sundery powers. You know, the

301
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 4: government needs to speak with one voice in dealing with

302
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 4: foreign affairs, and that one voice should be of them,

303
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, the executive branch. So it's again the president

304
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 4: has plenary, you know, virtually unlimited powers in dealing with

305
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: other countries. On the other hand, that argument runs into

306
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: a serious problem, and that serious problem is the US

307
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 4: Constitution itself because Article Launce, Section eight was one state

308
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: that Congress shall have the power to lay collect taxes. Duties, infosts,

309
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 4: and excises and tariffs are really a form of attax.

310
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 4: It's a form of attax. And therefore the power to

311
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 4: lay and collect taxes fall within the power of comus,

312
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: you know, not the present. And I think there's one

313
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 4: other very important argument, and I don't think it came

314
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 4: up in this recent argument before the US Court of

315
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 4: Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and it's a very basic

316
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 4: fundamental principle of our democracy and our founding fathers. We're

317
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: very concerned about too much power residing in the hands

318
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 4: of any one person or any one branch of government.

319
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 4: And that's why we have a democracy based upon separation

320
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 4: of powers. And here, if you follow the government, it's

321
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 4: all even reasoning. Then the president has this unwomaned power.

322
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: One person can decide to impose tariffs on any country

323
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 4: or every country in the world, can decide what the

324
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: percentage of the tariff should be, should be, ten percent,

325
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 4: should be, twenty and twenty five percent against what countries

326
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 4: and for what we And so it seems to me

327
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: that the president's position really flies in the base of

328
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: this very fundamental bedrock principle of separation of powers on

329
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: which are democracy is based.

330
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: So the panel of judges seem to sharply question the

331
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: government's position. One judge said, tariffs seemed to have no

332
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: friends in the text of the emergent see law. Do

333
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: you think that a majority of the judges might rule

334
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: against the tariffs?

335
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: I think, based upon the questions and the tenor and

336
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 4: some of the questions that were asked me the oral argument,

337
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 4: I think the Federal opelate Court is very skeptical of

338
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: the government's position that i provides authority from the President

339
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 4: to impose terriffs. So I'm cautiously optimistic that the appelic

340
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: Court will likely reject the government's argument and then find

341
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 4: that i APE has been in a supply here. So

342
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 4: then the credible next question, the credibal next step is

343
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: going to be before the Supreme Court, because if the

344
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 4: government loses, there's no question that they'll appeal the matter

345
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 4: to the United States Supreme Court, and there the outcome

346
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: is really up in the air.

347
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Because it's an on bank panel, the decision here can

348
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: be appealed directly to the Supreme Court.

349
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there. What we've seen is that, you know, historically,

350
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 4: just you know, the first six months of the Trump administration,

351
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: the US Supreme Court has been very differential to the

352
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: executive branch with respect to claims of executive authority or

353
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 4: Trump adminspiration. The Supreme Court determined, first and foremost, the

354
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 4: president is immutial from criminal prosecution excepting very very rare

355
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 4: limited exceptions, and the President can on his own dismantled

356
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 4: federalations without consulting with or attaining the approval of Commerce,

357
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: and with whole bonds that have been appropriated by commers

358
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 4: and fire Inspector General and fire other key government personnelities

359
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: without any consultation or approval from Congress. And so the

360
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 4: president might be a more favorable audience imported Supreme Court

361
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: than he received before the US Court of Appeals for

362
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: the Federal.

363
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: Circuit is Supreme Court president. On the Challengers, they cited

364
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: two of the Biden administration's biggest losses before the Supreme Court,

365
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: in fights over restrictions on pandemic era evictions and canceling

366
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: federal student loan debt to support their position that Trump

367
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: now can't try to read more power into the economic

368
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: emergency law than it offers on its face.

369
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 4: Well, here's a difference. I think the difference here is

370
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: that the Supreme Court again could focus on the fact

371
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 4: that these tariffs involve foreign affairs and the president's ole

372
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 4: oregon for the country on issues involving international affairs. The

373
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 4: cases that you cited involved domestic statutes, you know, domestic law,

374
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 4: not international foreign affairs. And so here the court might

375
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 4: seize on that recognized and the president has those plenary

376
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: powers in the field of foreign affairs, and again be

377
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: more pathetic, you know, to the argument. At the same time,

378
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: I mean, if the Court were to rule against the president,

379
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 4: I mean, just think of the repercussions of that ruling

380
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 4: with respect to the tariffs that the President has set,

381
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 4: the tariffs that have gone into effect, the tariffs that

382
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: are going to be going into effect in a few weeks.

383
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 4: I mean, they would have just literally global ramification of

384
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 4: the Supreme Court held that the President did not have

385
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: the authority to impose these tariffs foreign countries across across

386
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: the globe.

387
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: Could the US then be forced to refund duties that

388
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: have already been collected, Would the ruling be retroactive?

389
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 4: Would really just be you know, perspective, and so the

390
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 4: scope of the ruling we would have to see, you know,

391
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 4: what the application scope of the ruling would be. But

392
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 4: that certainly could be one of the one of the

393
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 4: implications if it rules against against the president. And so

394
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: maybe again the Supreme Court just doesn't want to take

395
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 4: that on. They don't want to rule in a way

396
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: it's going to create these kinds of political and economic

397
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 4: and you know, sea waves across the globe.

398
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: Does Trump have other tools to impose tariffs?

399
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 4: The tool would be the I think the appropriately too,

400
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: it would be just simply to build to Congress. And

401
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: so there's certainly nothing that prohibits the president from going

402
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: to Congress and actually Congress to enact legislation that would

403
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 4: authorize the president to impose tariffs of particular countries for

404
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: particular reasons. You would think, in light of the fact

405
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 4: that that both the House and the Senate are controlled

406
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 4: by the Republican Party, that he would receive a very

407
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 4: receptive audience there and they would respond accordingly. And the

408
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 4: legislation that the president has a question. But here I think,

409
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 4: you know, there's maybe something more you know, more fundamental,

410
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 4: more basic. That's that play here, and that's again the

411
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 4: power of the of the executive branch. And we've seen

412
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: a president that has been really pushing and stretching the

413
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: limits to his Article to powers. So maybe that's even

414
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 4: more important to the Presidence being able to say no,

415
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: I have it, or I don't have to go to confrege.

416
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: I can do this on my own. I don't need

417
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 4: Congress and support. But at the end of the days,

418
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 4: the pragmatic matter, he could accomplish what he's trying to

419
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: accomplish by going to Congress, the course and process would

420
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 4: be much slower in enacting the necessary legislation and procedurally.

421
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: This is an appeal from a decision in May of

422
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: the US Court of International Trade which struck down both

423
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: the April second Liberation Day tariffs and the migration related tariffs.

424
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: Was that a forceful decision from the US Court of

425
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: International Trade?

426
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: I think it was the written opinion articulated many of

427
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 4: the reasons and many of the arguments that will raised

428
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 4: again before the Pellet Court the Federal of Pelt Court,

429
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 4: and which the Federal of Pelt Coort seemed to agree

430
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 4: that those arguments also seem to resonate with the Federal Circuit,

431
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 4: and so I think I think the underlying decision is

432
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 4: sound based upon oral argument here before the Federal Circuit

433
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 4: Court of Appeals, it appears that they're probably going to

434
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 4: be incorporating many of those arguments and reasons that were

435
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 4: articulated below in their opinion if in fact they rule

436
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 4: against the President.

437
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: You dealt with tariffs when you work for the government,

438
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: what struck you about these?

439
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 4: I found it significant. I did a little bit of

440
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: due diligence on the opioid crisis in fetanol, and the

441
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 4: CDC in twenty twenty four reported there's been a twenty

442
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: seven percent decrease in overdoes death from fetanol compared to

443
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. And so even that that argument, the

444
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: unusual extraordinary emergency is the fedenyl crisis that has seemed

445
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: to have subsided or reduced significantly over the last couple

446
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: of years. Last year it is twenty twenty four, and

447
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 4: so I think it further under touch. The presidents claimed that,

448
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 4: you know, that's an emergency that justifies the imposition of

449
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 4: carols against Mexico, China, and Canada.

450
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: It will probably be several weeks before we hear a

451
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: decision from the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Thanks so much, Jimmy.
