The first two paragraphs, which are all that show up for me:

> Most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs were ruled illegal by a federal appeals court that found he exceeded his authority by imposing them through an emergency law, but the judges let the levies stay in place while the case proceeds.

> The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday upheld an earlier ruling by the Court of International Trade that Trump wrongfully invoked the law to hit nations across the globe with steep tariffs. But the appellate judges said the lower court should revisit its decision to block the tariffs for everyone, rather than just the parties in the case.

So, can companies begin suing the government? This seems like the only way. There’s no wiggling out of this, no? Unless the administration can re-appeal …

The legal system is crazy.

> The Trump administration contends...that his decisions cannot be reviewed by any court.

If Trump were a software developer, he would commit directly to main

More like he'd just rebase confusingly then push --force
He would cherry pick from a random branch that was never merged back in, add two commits of style changes inconsistent with the rest of the repo, then force push.
Tariffs might go away, but I doubt prices will go down.
