If there isn't a district court that's above it - which, granted, wouldn't surprise me, because international trade is a very specific area of law - I guess by default the only place Trump could appeal it to is his only-slightly-disobedient pet judges on the Supreme Court. (Not that they're all his pets, nor, obviously, can he appeal a ruling only to those members of the S.C. most likely to give him what he wants; nonetheless, he has sufficient obedience from a sufficient number of them that to an extent he can count on them to destroy the power of the legislative branch in his favour and at his demand.)
Very much agree about the necessity of banning shadow docket rulings. If a judge can't put their name to an opinion, there's a good reason they shouldn't be writing it!
Apparently the Supreme Court does have jurisdiction for the inevitable appeal, although maybe, just maybe, the second ruling that was just made against the tariffs will somehow prevent the Court from caving.
Who would he appeal to? Which court hears the appeals from the US Trade Court?

Thanks for your response. Let him appeal to his lackeys on the SC. Do they have jurisdiction? In our next life, we need to ban shadow docket rulings.
