And that would be the basis for another challenge because obviously, you know, there would be some sort of lawsuit challenging the statute as unconstitutional.
uh they ruled six three that the president cannot use the international economic emergency powers act to impose tariffs that's the extent of the ruling um and they didn't even agree on the reasoning right you had three justices uh chief justice roberts justice gorsuch and justice barrett using the major questions doctrine which is basically saying that for a major delegation of congressional power there needs to be a very explicit
delegation of that power, and they didn't find that in this case.
The three liberals just said the statute doesn't authorize the tariffs, and then Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas disagree with all that, saying pretty straightforward that the statute actually does authorize these tariffs, but they were the losing side.
So all these tariffs imposed under this particular statute are unlawful.
Well, it's about two-thirds of the tariffs were imposed under this specific statute.
I think the number I saw was something like $175 billion.
Everybody who paid a tariff is probably entitled to a refund.
The Supreme Court didn't really lay out the process here other than to strongly suggest that all this will go to the United States Court of International Trade.
But all the refund litigation, everything that happens there, that's to be decided later.
All the Supreme Court decided was that these tariffs were unlawful in the first instance.
No, it's going to be the actual people who paid the tariffs.
And remember, that's United States citizens and importers.
So when you import something from a foreign country, you, the importer, are responsible for paying the tariff.
The foreign country isn't.
The foreign manufacturer isn't.
So that's who ultimately will pay the tariff here.
I mean, I guess it's theoretically possible some foreign entity might make an argument that they were damaged by these tariffs because they sold fewer of the product than they would have otherwise, and maybe they'll have some claim against the United States for that.
I doubt it.
I think that the people who actually have a legitimate claim are the people who paid these tariffs and then are entitled to refunds.
