Assuming the SCOTUS rules the invocation of the IEEA as an excuse to toss off tarrifs sans-input/OK from Congress, then they’ll have to figure out how to give all that money back.

That said, you can be sure that the importers will keep every last goddamned penny. Not one red cent will ever come back to those who truly paid the tariffs: The US consumers.

Fucking greedy bastards.
