3 months after rapidly scheduled arguments, the Supreme Court has yet to decide on Trump's tariffs

WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Supreme Court granted an unusually quick hearing over President Donald Trump's tariffs, a similarly rapid resolution seemed possible.

After all, Trump's lawyers told the court that speed was of the essence on an issue central to the Republican president's economic agenda. They pointed to a statement from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warning that the “longer a final ruling is delayed, the greater the risk of economic disruption.”

But nearly three months have elapsed since arguments in the closely watched case, and the court isn't scheduled to meet in public for more than three weeks.

No one knows for sure what's going on among the nine justices, several of whom expressed skepticism about the tariffs' legality at arguments in November. But the timeline for deciding the case now looks more or less typical and could reflect the normal back-and-forth that occurs not just in the biggest cases but in almost all the disputes the justices hear.

Thomas and Alito are doing mental gymnastics trying to justify Trump's ability to unilaterally implement tariffs.

1. Probably allowing enough time for Trump to extort enough money so he doesn't expose secrets.

2. They are plugging different scenarios into

Grok and chatgpt. It will be an elegant AI solution. :/

3. It's like a job negotiation

Hold out for a bigger payoff

4. I've mentioned before here, that if they cannot rule for TSF, then they can

STALL for TSF. That's the gameplan folks.

5. You may be right

Or Alito and Thomas are still working on a theory of how Trump should be able to impose tariffs.

6. The Right Wingers are holding out for more brib...I mean tips

They figure they can juice their donors for an extra 25%.

7. I do suspect that the further misuse of tariffs

to extort European opponents of Trump's Greenland quest set back the publication of that opinion by weeks.
