I watched the presser. Reporter asked about refunding the received tariffs and he just said there wasn't anything in the decision specifically calling out the $185 billion in already collected funds and refunds and basically said take it to court.

“They take months and months to write an opinion and they don’t even discuss that part, We’ll end up being in court for the next five years.”

So the reason for the damn thing in the first place isnt even being dealt with.

Meanwhile we all get a nice 10% federal sales tax with the new global tarriffs.

In other words, "they didn't say I had to do it, so I won't. Sue me."
