🚨 Tariffs Were NOT Overturned! 🚨

At least, not in the way you think. Whenever we have a historic SCOTUS ruling like this, everyone on LinkedIn becomes a "legal expert."

99% of what you have read online is WRONG. I'm going to help clarify a few things so you can stay up to date and not fall prey to misinformation.

✅ Fact #1: The SCOTUS ruling was an extremely narrow ruling that ONLY affects Trump's IEPPA tariff authority. Guess how many other tariff authority tools he has left? 6.

✅ Fact #2: Trump signed an executive order yesterday to impose a global 10% tariff on every country that does trade with us. This one is legal because it falls under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This one will last 150 days or until the Commerce Department conducts unfair trade investigations to replace his IEEPA tariffs with similar rates under Section 301 and 232. This serves as a "stopgap." Congress can intervene on this one if they want to.

✅ Fact #3: The SCOTUS ruling does NOT decide whether similar ones can be reimposed under other statutes. This is where the media is silent right now because they know what's coming. This is why it was very unwise to pop the champagne yesterday. The ruling is not what you think.

✅ Fact #4: The White House has already confirmed that this was Plan B al along, and the US Treasury will see virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026. In other words, tariffs went from one bucket to another bucket. They never went anywhere.

✅ Fact #5: You are not getting any refunds on past tariff payments. The court's ruling does not mention refunds at all. To capture these, you will need to sue the Feds and become a plaintiff. 99% of brands obviously do not have the budget for this legal fight that will take up to 5 years.

✅ Fact #6: I saw premature celebrating yesterday about the supposed De Minimis suspension going away. I'm not sure why they posted this because it's still in full effect. The court did not mention this in their ruling, and the White House has issued a full statement online confirming that all duty-free De Minimis for all nations is still suspended.

💡 Justice Kavanaugh's dissent should clue you in: “although I firmly disagree with the Court’s holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forward … because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs at issue in this case.”

Goldman Sachs said much the same thing shortly after the Trade Court ruling that started all this: “This ruling represents a setback for the administration’s tariff plans and increases uncertainty, but might not change the final outcome for most major U.S. trading partners. For now, we expect the Trump administration will find other ways to impose tariffs.”

Welcome to a Constitutional Republic. It's messy, but it's still the best government structure known to man!
