The department has granted just 1 percent of the tariff exemption requests that were challenged by domestic steel producers.
Robert Wetherbee says steel tariffs might force his business to shutter. But instead of asking for the tariffs to be lifted, he wants special treatment.
Trump's trade war is failing to achieve its primary policy goals, but the really bad news is elsewhere.
Protectionism fails, even for those who were supposed to benefit.
The Commerce Department is a major dispenser of corporate welfare.
Trump's steel protectionism seems to have failed. Again.
Even if the president's motives were partisan, a more plausible cover story would have been enough to pass judicial muster.
Instead, the president signed an executive order directing government agencies to sift through documents and databases to determine Americans' citizenship status.
Did Trump change his mind about the citizenship question twice, or did his underlings ignore him? Which is worse?
The Court concludes that the commerce secretary's "contrived" explanation frustrated "meaningful judicial review."
The commerce secretary falsely portrayed the decision to include a citizenship question as a response to a Justice Department request.
The commerce secretary's phony rationale for adding a citizenship question is inconsistent with the rule of law.
The Trump administration can't ask about citizenship on the 2020 census, Judge Jesse Furman ruled.

Representatives of the auto industry are in Washington to deliver an obvious message to the oblivious Commerce Department.
None of his cabinet picks seem to think that man-made climate change is hoax.
Four federal departments and one agency that could be shut down first.
Donald Trump's pick to run the Commerce Department loves it when the government picks winners and losers.
She's still working for the federal agency, obviously.
The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration is a favor-dispensing machine.
