Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, βIdeally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.β

About the tariffs, good for SCOTUS but itβs not about law. The conservatives want a shield for their imminent destruction of the Voting Rights Act among other unpopular decisions they are heading towards. They also wanted to show the major question doctrine can lead to results the left likes.

I am sorry but this is still the core problem with trying to parse anything he says about tariffs.
