Doubtful

If the tariffs are ruled illegal, then the taking was also illegal.

Why would the government get to keep money it seized illegally?

Because the Judiciary never considers basic common sense in its rulings, much like you

He is though… he describing two different things… he believes the words “trade” and “tariff” are interchangeable or synonymous in the context of what he’s attempting to do

a. This isn't true. You're effectively arguing that if the government can create a policy/regulation/scheme so broad in scope, that even if it's illegal it has to remain in effect. frick all that.

b. You didn't answer the question. Do you support the government being able to keep property that it seized illegally? I don't. frick all that, too.

It's not a trick question or a framed question. It's the heart of the issue being discussed. If these tariffs are ruled illegal, then the seizure is also illegal (as the government has no authority from which to seize the property).

Two Justices said to call it a license and it is a done deal. So Trump will enact an EO as they suggested, to rename tariff to license and all is fine.

But until then Trump wants all to know it is ridiculous.

Why are you so ridiculously hostile to the rule of law?

I trust Trump about what policies would work. It's a tragedy that his Administration made this unforced error. It has the ring of a Stephen Miller too-clever attempt at a novel interpretation of the law.

If Trump had better lawyers...or asked any of a dozen of us on this Board...he wouldn't have stupidly tried to use IEEPA. Don't lash out at us, blame Trump's lawyers.

I see that you've completely abandoned your stance and are at the "ad hom" phase of discourse.

Ivory is a tad more reasonable than VOR but it is a thinly veiled disguise of being SFP combined with VOR.

Ivory posted an entire thread that Mamdani's winning speech was reasonable. When even the hacks of WaPo, CNN, MSNBC said it was far from reasonable.

Ivory isn't trolling-just like VOR, SFP is.

Multiple justices discussed other clearly legal avenues for collection. Hence, making them retroactive.

Im game. Since you say it is a "tax" on Americans, how would you ensure all 340 million got a refund proportionate to what they paid?

If Trump wouldn't have been advised to lie and declare that ALL these tariffs are for national security he wouldn't be in this spot.

For instance how is our national security threatened with our trade surplus with Australia?

How could that be retroactive?

Nobody disputes there were possible avenues for tariffs. In the scenario where the USSC rules this scenario illegal, why would the admin get to do it right and then get retroactivity back to a point where they acted illegally?

If the government indicts someone for the wrong crime, and the SOL runs, they can't go back and re-indict him for the right crime.

When Biden's SL forgiveness was ruled illegal, he had to go back and start over with possibly legal avenues. He didn't get to just have that $10k forgiven retroactively saying "oopsie"

It's going to be a shite show for the admin to work this out and it will likely face countless litigations across the country/world about it.

You're serious?

How many times have changes in tax law (good or ill) been applied retroactively?

It was legal, just not this way.

Okay, we'll do it this way and now it is (and was) legal.

I don't know of any following courts ruling an action illegal.

You're citing legislative or regulatory action, not judicial action, I reckon, which is completely different.

Which makes the entire scheme illegal.

Which means you start from square one
