So i guess that means everyone in the public can launch lawsuits at the govt. too! We all paid higher prices to those corporations because of tariffs. Where's our refunds? Or do we sue the corporations?
And everyone is PISSED about it. I totally get it. The businesses get the refund, after raising their prices to cover it? This seems like a play to turn the people against the court. There is universal anger here. Either that or we were all just screwed.
This is great! Setting a public precedent that if some tax is deemed inconstituional then the victims can request refunds! Anyone want to get back the last 40 years of taxes they have paid to the governmwnt?
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump is now having to launch a $166 BILLION TARIFF REFUND program
The Supreme Court made an absolutely HORRIBLE ruling!
Businesses who paid tariffs can now re-claim funds:
"The Trump administration is scheduled to implement a refund system for businesses that paid tariffs, which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled were illegal."
"Refunds total roughly $166 billion. U.S. and Customs Border Protection says importers and their brokers were eligible to begin claiming refunds through an online portal."
The Supreme Court, as far as I can tell, didn't say WHEN the tariffs need to be "refunded". So they can be put in a terminal queue.
I am all for no taxation, however tariffs to me are something we can use to control and demand better of other countries. We can lighten our own tax burden. The SC is not for us. I don't know what is up with those idiots Trump got in during his first term... why did he put them there? Did they really become two faced? What is going on with that? The SC is supposed to uphold the constitution, not trample it. I have zero faith in them. I am disappointed they are deciding the immigration thing too... on whether people who are born here are legal citizens. I have a feeling they will decide they are and we are completely screwed.
I heard that Kavanaugh helped write the "Patriot" Act and Amy Coney Barrett covered for pedophile priests. And Ketanji Brown strikes me as a DEI dunce. So I share some of your sentiments about the Court we are stuck with. I can't fathom how a president doesn't have the right to impose tariffs in order to stop the "race for the bottom". It's how we avoid having to compete with slave labor pricing from the Third World.
Yes, this is saying that the Trump administration just opened a new online portal for importers to be able to file claims for refunds.
Per grok:
Importers and brokers can now file claims for refunds (plus interest in some cases) on roughly $166 billion in tariffs already collected.
This stems directly from the February ruling, with lower courts (like the Court of International Trade) ordering the government to set up the repayment system.
I thought this was old news, but then I thought maybe I just missed a new case going through. Here’s what grok says…
The Supreme Court ruling itself is not brand new—it happened on February 20, 2026 (about two months ago). In a 6-3 decision, the Court struck down key Trump-era tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), ruling that the 1977 law does not authorize the president to impose tariffs (that's Congress's power under Article I).
What’s happening now (the $166 billion refund program)The refund process itself is very recent and just launching.
On April 20, 2026 (yesterday, as of the post you linked), the Trump administration opened a new online portal (called CAPE) through U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Importers and brokers can now file claims for refunds (plus interest in some cases) on roughly $166 billion in tariffs already collected.
This stems directly from the February ruling, with lower courts (like the Court of International Trade) ordering the government to set up the repayment system.
The X post is reacting to this implementation step (the portal going live), not a brand-new Supreme Court decision. Many replies express frustration that businesses (importers) may get refunds even if they passed tariff costs on to consumers via higher prices—potentially allowing "double dipping" while taxpayers ultimately fund the payouts.
So i guess that means everyone in the public can launch lawsuits at the govt. too! We all paid higher prices to those corporations because of tariffs. Where's our refunds? Or do we sue the corporations?
Sue corporate. Since they got their money back, so should we. I know, trump should figure out a way to give that money to the people directly.
And everyone is PISSED about it. I totally get it. The businesses get the refund, after raising their prices to cover it? This seems like a play to turn the people against the court. There is universal anger here. Either that or we were all just screwed.

KAYFABE 101! Again . CLEARLY the World needs to LEARN that politicians and even Supreme Court Judges can be and have been corrupted.

Can we all get refunds for other taxes, too?
I thought it was struck down because of how it was done but Trump can just redo it another way?
Sounds like SCOTUs collects checks from globalist lobbyist too.
Yeah I was told the irs would be abolished
Calling a bailout by any other name doesn't really hide the fact that it's a bailout.

The WHEN made me think. I imagine the deep state made plans for that money once the govt took it. Now it's tied up again. What's the next move?

We have Paul Ryan to thank for KB. She is his "sister-in-law" if I remember correctly.

#winning... right?
But the economists told me I paid for tariffs, not the companies selling the goods.
Bunch of fucking backstabbers.
