If Donald Trump loses his Supreme Court fight over tariffs, the US may be forced to return “tens of billions of dollars to companies that have paid import fees this year, plus interest,” The Atlantic reported. And the longer the verdict is delayed, the higher the refunds could go, possibly even hitting $1 trillion.

    What happens when you preemptively comply:…. Also I hate that the courts are legislating since Congress is doing nothing. If the law was clear the tariffs would’ve never been a thing.

      The law is clear, we just have a POTUS who doesnt care what the law says, a congress refusing to act as a check on the executive branch, and the courts are mostly captured by Trump.

      Yup. Because the other two branches of government are ran buy the same money grubbing capitalist mind virus, the courts and legislators went along because of fear of the working class emancipation.
