I am not a lawyer. But I think cases need to work their way up to SC. Before today's ruling a Federal Trade Court ruled the tariffs illegal [1]. And later, a Federal Appeals Court did the same [2]

The process takes time.

I know how that works but the speed and process should reflect the severity of the issue.

Illegally taxing billions from we the people? Should be addressed immediately.

And they have done that before….

There are faster paths to the Supreme court, but it takes Congress, the President or multiple states to do so, generally.

SCOTUS can do so if they wish.
