Tariffs might go away, but I doubt prices will go down.

The first two paragraphs, which are all that show up for me:

> Most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs were ruled illegal by a federal appeals court that found he exceeded his authority by imposing them through an emergency law, but the judges let the levies stay in place while the case proceeds.

> The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday upheld an earlier ruling by the Court of International Trade that Trump wrongfully invoked the law to hit nations across the globe with steep tariffs. But the appellate judges said the lower court should revisit its decision to block the tariffs for everyone, rather than just the parties in the case.

So, can companies begin suing the government? This seems like the only way. There’s no wiggling out of this, no? Unless the administration can re-appeal …

The legal system is crazy.

The Supreme Court still gets to weigh in before companies can start asking for their money back. From the decision:

> The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate through October 14, 2025, during which the parties may file a petition for a writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court. If, within that period, any party notifies the Clerk in writing that it has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, the Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate pending (1) the Supreme Court’s denial of certiorari or (2) a judgment of the Supreme Court if certiorari is granted. While the issuance of the mandate is withheld, the United States Court of International Trade shall take no further action in this case.

Do you think if the companies were allowed to sue, and did actually win, that they would give back the money to customers who were then ones who ultimately paid those tarrifs through higher prices?

I remember living in a country where that claim alone would be grounds for bipartisan impeachment. How far we have fallen.

He would cherry pick from a random branch that was never merged back in, add two commits of style changes inconsistent with the rest of the repo, then force push.

And use `push --force` all the time.

More like he'd just rebase confusingly then push --force
