Short Circuit 198 | International Trade and Standing for Guns
Podcast (short-circuit): Play in new window | Download
Where do you go to challenge an illegal tax? Well, if that tax is a tariff your destination is the United States Court of International Trade. Learn all about this corner of the Article III judiciary, and how tariffs for once took a beating before it, from Eric Boehm, a reporter at Reason. Also, we return to a frequent subject on Short Circuit, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, with IJ’s Josh Windham. That court just made it a little easier to challenge restrictions on gun rights, although it really shouldn’t have been that hard in the first place.
