“"Today, the U.S. Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people,” said Neal Katyal, who served as solicitor general under former President Obama, in a statement after the ruling.

“This case has always been about the presidency, not any one president. It has always been about separation of powers, and not the politics of the moment. I’m gratified to see our Supreme Court, which has been the bedrock of our government for 250 years, protect our most fundamental values.”

In an additional statement on the social platform X, Katyal made clear he viewed it as a complete victory."

Neal Katyal needs to be sitting on the high court bench.

I have made a few see the errors of their blind allegiance, that is once I can get past their blinders.

More than 2,000 companies, including well-known names like Costco (COST) and FedEx (FDX), have filed lawsuits seeking refunds for the illegal tariffs they paid. The ruling from Judge Richard Eaton offered some clarity on the murky process to recoup tariff costs, which could take years to play out.
