shaky footing.

It's supposed to deal with balance of payments deficits that the U.S.

The U.S.

does not have any balance of payment deficits with the rest of the world because that's just a broader concept of trade.

Yeah, the U.S.

has collected $170 billion through these tariffs that were just struck down.

Well, the Supreme Court just punted the decision.

They said, we're not going to deal with this.

Lower court, you figure out how this happens.

Kavanaugh called it a mess.

And even during oral arguments back in the fall when this was happening, all the justices said, yes, if we strike this down, it's going to be complete chaos.

That doesn't stop companies from trying to get to the front of the line to get tariffs or to get refunds if they do come down the pipe.
