I honestly don’t have a clue what SCOTUS will do. Like it seems very very clear that these tariffs are illegal, but there have been so many issues that seem clear cut and SCOTUS seems to feel differently. Like, the question “If Congress creates a department or agency by law, can POTUS eliminate the whole thing with a simple EO” seems like an obvious “No.” I mean that’s like an elementary school level civics question to me—yet SCOTUS somehow saw it differently. I dunno.
If they do rule these tariffs illegal, how the hell does the average citizen get their money back? That’s what I’m curious about. Businesses have records showing what they’ve paid, but what about us?
