Yes, yes, we all know that Supreme Court decisions fundamentally pivot around sunk costs. 🤡 @acyn.bsky.social

Did SCOTUS receive their checks in advance?

Businesses can easily be made whole. Consumers, not so much. Tariffs are unconstitutional at, at least, should be injunctioned immediately.

Except the money rolling in is from American businesses and consumers paying sales taxes never approved by Congress as required by the Constitution.

WAPO had a good article today on the 'chicken tax'. It was a tariff on pickup trucks imported from Europe in retaliation for a tariff Europe put on chicken they imported from the US in the 1960s. These tariffs are still in place today. The point is that its very hard to get rid of these things.

I heard the judges in SCOTUS don't make that much money, so they'll feel the tariffs whenever they are not traveling with their emotional support billionaires.

Infuriating. A dem strategist posted the the tariffs will be hard to ever remove for a similarly argument. And it like no you can just lift them at any time. Congress could also stop them at any time. They are not legal policies regardless of the dollars.

The Supreme Court had the opportunity to uphold a lower court injunction which would have prevented the roll out of global tariffs. They chose to reverse the injunction and let the tariffs go forward. Now they will say that it would be disruptive to nterfere with the Executive Branch discretion.

They will figure out a way to let Trump do whatever he wants. They have so far. That is why packing the court should be job 1 for the next Democratic POTUS. This court is illegitimate.

Mystery Solved! Trump's America operates on the principle the longer you have been doing an illegal act the LESS the courts care if you continue. Bessent, again, said the quiet part out loud. 🙄

Yeah, the longer it's illegal, the harder it is to stop. Kind of like the richer you are and the more children you rape, the harder it is to send you to prison.

Wow, sounds like an excellent reason for the courts to *not* let the tariffs continue while the case works its way up to SCOTUS.

This Supreme Court has been mostly compliant to Trump. I don’t think they will consider sunk costs but they will put a heavy burden on any ruling that goes against him. Although obviously wrong, I think the Supreme Court will rule to keep tariffs as long as Congress doesn’t exercise their power.

It maybe shouldn't be this way, but it does seem to happen at times. I think John Roberts did not want Obamacare repealed in part because it would be a big headache if the healthcare system changed overnight.

So, in Bessent’s deranged mind, if Trump puts 500% tariffs on everything the Supreme Court wouldn’t dare rule his tariffs are illegal because they would bring in too much money. No facts and no law … just cash sways the SCOTUS.
