>> Then after letting the president have a free hand... now SCOTUS worries about "Wait what happens if we decide this is illegal and they have to give the tax back!?!?!"

+1 for catching the inconsistency in SCOTUS's argumentation, making themselves sound incompetent and sacrificing their credibility for the benefit of those they serve.

I've always thought of Trump's erratic tariffs as a trade-negotiation bluff and market manipulation in the wider sense. The market manipulation part did enrich him further along with the golden club that kisses up to him.

However, quite predictably, the bluff was called and the wider US economy got weaker. Now the club is deciding if it's time to unwind and they're having a hard time because they just love the "tough man" brand of political and economic BS which was engaged in justifying the lunacy. They love inflation too and they love Trump because he loves inflation (his words), but he isn't the only one who can deliver. When they make up their minds, the SCOTUS is going to tell us what they've decided.
