He's using different mechanisms for enabling these new tariffs. The supreme court only said that the way the tariffs were created was unconstitutional.

As I understand it, there are several laws that allow for imposing tarrifs, each with differing requirements for justification and how large the tariff can be.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is one that the administration has cited as the law granting the authority for many of the tariffs imposed by this administration.
The tarrifs imposed under IEEPA are the ones that the Supreme Court were addressing with this ruling. Basically saying that the law does not give the president as much authority as he claimed, making those terrifs illegal.
Tarrifs that the administration claims are authorized under different laws will have to be the subject of separate legal claims.

When it takes him minutes with an EO to make up a new reason for tariffs and it takes the SC months/weeks/days to undo them then the SC really doesn’t matter does it.
There's a mechanism in the law that allows for tariffs up to 15% for 150 days for trade deficits. So just wait 150 days for it to go away I guess.
So, all of the downside with disruption and loss of trade partners, with none of the upside?.sounds like trump.
Yes, he is really this fucking stupid. Thats all there is too it. He thinks he can puff his chest and they will back off.
