    1. It’s not the courts job to worry about the impact of policies it’s the court job to focus on legalities. If they don’t do that then there is no need for a Supreme Court.

      Can you imagine making a ruling at that level simply based on the difficulty of implementing the solution and completely ignoring the applicable law? WOW!

      Suppose that the tariffs are overturned and the tariff revenue collected has to be refunded. It would be a one-time boost for the companies in profits.

    4. Alright, if that’s the precedent they set, then if/when a Democrat gets into office, we cancel all student loans and burn the receipts.

      I use to admire her skills and ability to argue before the Justices. This comment coming from her about the non-legal rationale to rule one way is an incredibly stupid comment. Even when directed to this Supreme Court.

      Yet, the six on the bench do give a damn about what Trump thinks, but shocking to me is that this former beauty queen/solicitor is turning out to be not much different than Trump.

    6. We went from going to the moon because it was hard to not unfucking the economy because it might disrupt one of the President’s many tantrums.

      I love how “it’s hard” is a sensible reason to not do anything regardless of the benefit.

    8. So now laws exist only if you haven’t broken them so much that sorting out the ramifications would be…difficult?

    9. “Well, you can’t unkill someone so definitely not going to judge on that murder case” SCOTUS/s

    10. I will assure you that they will rule how Trump tells the to rule. If Trump needs an out, Roberts will make a big showing that he is standing up to Trump. If Trump doesn’t need an out, SCOTUS will rule in his favor.
