Well this will happen just in a different way. SCOTUS did Republicans a huge, massive favor by getting rid of tariffs. But it's just in Trump's nature to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

If you watch the video clip, the reason it is a huge part of his economic agenda is because he uses it as a cudgel for personal gain.

If only it had happened while Leavitt was doing her pitch on a day when Trump was in the room as well. Preferably bragging about the tariff income.

Correct, they’ve already said as much.


But that wouldn't save them from liability for how they were originally imposed.
Is it possible that courts would decide refunds are functionally impossible when balancing government burden against claims? Or that a special panel of judges would have to sort through refund demands?

Adam Kintzinger:

The best move for Trump would be to write checks to America for the tariff refund but then he has to admit we paid them

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 was the Supreme Court's reason for appointing GWB President: actually counting the votes would be a mess.

FITCH:

".. Call it Liberation Day 2.0—arguably the first one with tangible upside for U.S. consumers and corporate profitability. This is a material rollback: more than 60% of the 2025 tariffs effectively vanish .. removing more than $200 billion in expected annual tariff collections."

This also means the Voting Rights Act is likely gone too. It's how SCOTUS rolls.

Why are you smiling? Because we may start a war?

This is in no way funny. The Supreme Court ruled on what we already knew was unconstitutional. The damage cant be undone. The dollar is going down. What a $hit$how.


I think they are amused because he literally said this morning he is considering a strike. Gotta distract!

It was the only logical conclusion. It's a disgrace that there was any dissent at all. In what world does it make sense that a President could say "I'm going to tariff you 150% because I don't like the way you talked to me on the phone"?

What's going to happen to those trade agreements? it's all because of tariff, now tariff is gone, I guess so are those agreements.
