Here's more from Courthouse News Service on the divided panel of judges.
In a 25-page opinion, U.S. Circuit Judges Jay Bybee, a George W. Bush appointee, and Ryan Nelson, a Donald Trump appointee, concluded that courts lack authority to review the challenged rule changes.
They found a 1976 law, the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act, and its subsequent amendments forbid judicial review of State Department decisions on what is considered a "defense article" subject to regulation.
"Because Congress expressly precluded review of the relevant agency actions here, we vacate the injunction and remand with instructions to dismiss," Nelson wrote for the majority.
