Based? Need SCOTUS to hold this up and set precedence. We'll windfall every company 100% to reverse the tax cuts.

They've been doing some things by agreement with companies (like Paramount) and then there's just no one to challenge it.

Good point. But if Trump would not have made the licenses available absent the agreement, absent the illegal tax (or outgoing tariff) have they been harmed?

I'd say they have because it makes clear that the national security rationale for "not habing made the licenses available" in the first place was mere pretext.
