Increasing the uncertainty is not necessarily beneficial either. Businesses won't want to keep changing their pricing. People don't want to plan their purchases around whether tariffs are likely to change up or down in the future. Their instinct will be to wait.
The tariffs were illegal in how they were implemented but Congress could easily do it and would follow his instructions as they have done before.
It's a shit show, as expected.

Cool. Can other countries sue for the damage it caused to their industries as well?
It shouldn’t go back to businesses, it should be a tax credit (with documentation.)
Turns out either I can't read or can't math.
~~Funny how the refund works out to a total of about 60 cents per American, when I know I've paid WAY more than that in tariff-related bullshit.~~
60 cents? You may have confused "billion" for "million" somewhere, unless I'm misunderstanding you, in which case we'd be talking closer to $600
Whoops, you're right! Thanks :)
The money will go back to American businesses, which means American consumers. That means that's more proof that Americans are paying for the tariffs.

Don't worry, the supremes will make it all go away.
Or else what?
Can you imagine having to refund ~6 months of US Imports? The paperwork alone would take years. Each entry would have to be re-verified with customs. Not to mention the staffing increase for CBP to process the refunds. I don't see SCOTUS not enforcing this.
