The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others. As was acknowledged at oral argument, the refund process is likely to be a “mess.”
在这句话中,前半句讲的是“兹事体大”——要退成百上千亿美元的税给进口商;后半句讲的是“一潭浑水”——最高法院千万别往里趟。而根据acknowledged at oral argument这半句话的字面意思,其他大法官显然听懂了他的弦外之音——最高法院是提纲挈领的,是把握原则的,千万别自降身价掺和进去。
