For the record the government will have to reimburse the businesses that paid the tarrifs but the business will have to sue the government to get paid. I note several large retailers have already started the process months ago.
The cool thing is they don't have pay consumers that 90% of those costs that were passed on to meaning tax payers will be paying the tarrifs twice. The oligarchs will be getting a big windfall or as MAGA would say a win win. Everyone knows Jeff Bezos and the Walton family are barely getting by and need our money more than we do.
Oh, and the litigation itself will cost the government just as much as the refunds will. Not only do we have to pay the tarrifs twice but we will also be paying court costs and attorney's fees. This is one of the biggest CFs in US history.
The law is clear about tariffs and has been for a couple hundred years. Only Congress has the power to enact tariffs. Enacting them was the hight of stupidity as it violated the Constitution and this was the inevitable result.
