When there is a split among Federal courts then the SCOTUS does often step in. The SCOTUS decision was that the interpretation of the First Circuit was wrong.

FWIW it says "the Congress shall have power..." not unelected bureaucrats of any stripe. In the event the issue about "unbiased experts" is raised, remember that the case is about "who should pay" not that there should or should not be monitors on the boat.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoA "split decision" is not the same as a "split among Federal courts". A split decision just means the appeals court (one Federal district) ruled 2-1 rather than 3-0. A split among Federal courts means that different districts ruled in different ways.
