Folks, I agree this is a piece of shit ¶ in a piece of shit "filing."

But then I remember that John Sauer convinced SCOTUS into immunizing Trump, and I worry maybe he knows how to work these people.

[This is still at the Circuit Court but it'll go to SCOTUS one way or another.]

John Sauer says that if the US had to pay back all the taxes it illegally collected from consumers, it might ruin the country.

There is no substitute for the tariffs and deals that President Trump has made.
One year ago, the United States was a dead country, and now, because of the trillions
of dollars being paid by countries that have so badly abused us, America is a strong,
financially viable, and respected country again. If the United States were forced to
pay back the trillions of dollars committed to us, America could go from strength to
failure the moment such an incorrect decision took effect.
