I won't hold my breath waiting for a refund check.

So no emergency tariffs. Ok.

All so that they could pass a tax cut package accruing hugely more to the rather wealthy.

Protectionism (much like communism) was a red herring.

That movie was how as a kid I learned what a 'red herring' was

The Court punted on refunds. Kavanaugh was on the wrong side of the decision, but he was right that determining rebates is a non-trivial problem.

It’s a problem he helped create by voting against a preliminary injunction for the obviously illegal tariffs

That refunding people is a problem shouldn’t determine that unconstitutional action by a wannabe monarch is OK.

Not sure why it took so long, but it was the right decisions, and frankly, it should have been unanimous.

If I can sue, I'm going to sue to get my money back. I've been paying more for everything since that POS started slapping tariffs on all the foreign goods I buy.

Yes, in an election year, let's vote to raise taxes on all Americans.

+1 Good luck in the midterms, Republicans!

So they are all going to be put on the spot to vote for unpopular tariffs or against Trump in about July, just three months before the election. Amazing!

It isn’t that hard, it’s all digital like customs. They just look up how much each company paid, then refund that.

It's "easy" only if all companies absorbed the entire cost of the tariff at the point the tariff was levied (and the tariffs didn't put the company out of business...), but, in fact, the actual tariff payees are everywhere. In most cases, some portion of the cost was passed on/paid by various intermediaries, incorporated in cost increases in downstream goods, exported/reexported, etc. with the remainder paid by the ultimate consumer.
