There have been no decisions about refunds. The court avoided addressing that.

That topic will surely go back to the courts, kicking and screaming

Personally think it should not get refunded. There’s no sane way to get it back to its source. And no one group should be making profit from it. Best if it stays with the government like a federal forfeiture so in theory we all benefit from it as citizens , maybe it goes against the national debt or lessens our deficit next year.

Not a bad idea, but how do we prevent this from creating incentives to engineer similar situations in the future?

[hermanzegerman]

So illegal actions shouldn't have consequences for anyone?

That's a good way to deter such acts in the future

And help to prosecute those who broke the law and raised illegal tax /s

Government is a poor spender, we should not be handing them more money
