I Like Beer UPDATE: Boof Boy worries that paying back the tariff money Trump extorted from Americans might be hard

[Miles Archer]

Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee, wrote a dissent where he broke with conservative Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch and complained that the court did not consider the implications of how the Trump administration will refund the ill-gotten tariff money.

He wrote, “So the Court’s decision is not likely to greatly restrict Presidential tariff authority going forward. But the Court’s decision is likely to generate other serious practical consequences in the near term.”

+“One issue will be refunds,” he predicted. “Refunds of billions of dollars would have significant consequences for the U. S. Treasury. The Court says nothing today about whether, and if so how, the Government should go about returning the billions of dollars that it has collected from importers.”

Recalling when the case was presented to the sitting court, he added, “But that process is likely to be a ‘mess,’ as was acknowledged at oral argument.”

1. He just let the damage go on. He should've made his decision earlier.

2. Not likely to restrict going forward?...

Is he signaling Trump to ignore the ruling?

3. So an illegal application of a statute should continue because it would be too complicated

to fix the mess the illegal application caused in the first place?

5. Every crook has a new angle to plead in court

"It's too difficult to obey the law, your Honor. Can't we just ignore it for a little while longer?"

13. "Sure, my client shot somebody in the back ten times, but there's no way to undo that!"

4. Alcohol is another fat tariff that diminished trade

Now we can't sell whiskey in Canada because no consumer will touch it

6. "...going forward..."

The Extremes only look at the impact of their decisions when it suits their agenda. Did they look at the impact of Citizens United?

7. crying in his malt liquor.

8. So, when does the government cease charging the tariffs on incoming goods?

They have to be stopped before refunding can be addressed. It didn’t sound like Krasnov plans to stop the current tariffs, just change the authority he uses to charge them.

9. Judge worries that crook can't pay back money he stole.

I pretty much never expected to see that headline… Ever.

10. It's a pathetic whine for a so-called judge to make

"Oooh, fixing this crap would be haaaard!!! Why don't I just pretend my best pal The Rapist can get away with it, like he has so many times before, thanks to me?"

Whoever taught him ethics must be rolling in their grave.

[progressoid]

11. That's his "legal" argument?

Sound more like something one would hear on from the sofa bunch on Fox News.

12. We should pay for Trump's illegal tariffs?

Okay Brett. You first. You’re the one with the big salary and the lifetime appointment.
