We have been waiting on the SCOTUS ruling for months.

A lot of false alarms in terms of prepping the newsroom for it when it didn't drop.

What was your reaction when it finally came through?

I was surprised that the president didn't say more about it in the State of the Union.

So then in the decision itself, the justices' decisions, you said it was fractured, but what about it really jumped out to you?

So this is really interesting because this came up in our editorial meeting yesterday, this idea of all these costs that companies had to pay because of the tariffs that were not the tariffs themselves.

Like you talk to a customs broker all the time, right?

That person charges a fee for her services.

Yep.

That is probably much higher now that companies had to eat as they're navigating these tariffs.

So some of these costs are non-refundable.

That money is gone.

That money is gone.

On the other hand, from a consumer perspective, I ordered a whole bunch of tea from this place that I really, really like in Sri Lanka, right?

And then...

Yes, it is.

But then a couple of weeks after I get my tea, I get a bill from FedEx for the tariff on my tea.

And there's a little form and everything and document.

So I could, in a world, say to FedEx, okay, this was illegal.

Now I want my money back and here's the paper trail for it, right?
