*Ambiguous.

Well, they're all disgusting, corrupt quislings.

I think Alito and Thomas at least claim to be originalists. It's kind of hard to claim to not understand Article 1, Section 7, Clause 1. It's not exactly ambigious. So I'm curious to know the pretzel logic in their dissent.

Kavanaugh just likes beer. I still want to know who paid off his debts.

How are the small businesses that went under going to be revived? (Hint: they're not. Lots of irreparable damage.)

You don't have a claim against the government (probably). The importer paid the government. You paid the importer or customs broker. You need to take it up with them.

I will note that the OBBB was passed based on fiscal scoring that assumed tariff income to offset the losses in tax revenue.

The USD is going to get hit so hard this year.

OBBB already created huge deficits so this is just added.

Actually most of the refund process will be very orderly. Wall Street investors bought up most claims greater than $10k. It's how many businesses weathered the largest tax increase in US history.

One reason for Kavanaugh's dissent, based on news reports, is that refunds will be next to impossible.

That may be true, but it's not a reason to allow the admistration to flout the laws.

This.

And if anything, the treasury should have isolated the money and not allowed anyone to access the funds until the Supreme Court ruled. They knew the tariffs would be challenged.

That tariff money is probably already spent. Now what?

This is MAGA universal income. Every US citizen files a lawsuit and gets a portion of all tariff revenue for life.

The issue is that Trump is notoriously tight fisted. He won't allow the US Treasury to issue refunds.

What did Trump do a businessman? He settled for pennies on the dollar with those to whom he owed money.

I suspect lots of litigation for companies to only end up getting a fraction of what they paid in tariffs.

Random question - what about tariffs that are in limbo?

I ordered something from Europe. It got delivered yesterday by Fedex. My understand with Fedex, is that they pay the tariffs on your behalf, and then send you a bill after the fact.

So... is Fedex going to still send me a bill? Do I tell them to get the government to reimburse them? Do I still have to pay them?

Which would have been a reimbursement for what you already paid in tariffs? No.

This is what happens when we don’t incarcerate presidents who lead insurrections. They just keep ruining our country until we stop them.
