I see Breaking News on various news sites saying the President has been rebuffed, when it comes to tariffs, by SCOTUS. No details, yet. Questions coming to mind:
- Will currently collected tariffs be refunded? Will the Administration comply?
- Will Trump ignore SCOTUS? Will he denounce SCOTUS? I don’t know if there were dissents or not just yet.
- Will Trump demand Congress pass his tariffs, or even hand him the power he claimed to already have?
- Can Trump even continue to collect tariffs, or is the operation of tariff collection not under his control?
Might this big sign that Trump is not the strongman many want break him? I doubt it; indeed, it may save him as the economy will hopefully stabilize.
Still, there’s a lot of ways this could go, and they’re dependent on a President whose goals are not our goals.
