The court, however, did not say what should happen to the more than $130 billion in tariffs that has already been collected.

Further down:

As of December 14, the federal government had collected $134 billion in revenue from the tariffs being challenged from over 301,000 different importers, according to United States Customs and Border Protection data as well as a recent filing submitted by the agency to the US Court of International Trade.

That question will likely need to be sorted out by lower courts.

I mean, the US has accumulated $134bn in damages from the tariffs alone. The economic impact of those tariffs to US entities could be in the trillions of dollars.

I vote we make the people in charge of the decision personally liable.

If you or I did something illegal, we'd be held personally liable.
