A federal judge in San Francisco threw out California’s case against President Trump’s tariffs on Monday, saying there was a problem with the state’s authority.
Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who was chosen by former President Joe Biden, gave California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta some bad news after they sued Trump and several federal agencies in April.
The case was already in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, but the Trump administration asked the judge to move it to the U.S. Court of International Trade for New York. Instead, she threw out Newsom and Bonta’s whole case. This meant that the two Democrats could appeal to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is known for being very left.
