What are the consequences if Trump ignores the ruling, the Dems in Congress write strongly worded op-eds in the Washington Post?

Would the people who get charged them not be able to just tell the Customs to fuck off? Or does the stuff just get physically prevented from leaving ports until they pay?

From what I have read in American model railway subs* on reddit it's much like customs duty - the goods won't be released from the port of entry until the tariff is paid. Many Yanks were under the impression that the supplier would pay the tariff. They were not happy when they found out how tariffs work.


*Rails of Sheffield apparently does quite a lot of trans-Atlantic trade. Yank modellers love British steam.

The orange shithead has reacted thus:

Trump announces new 10% global tariff as he hits out at 'deeply disappointing' Supreme Court ruling

C'mon Mother Nature (or cholesterol), do your stuff...

I'm surprised as they're HO kiddies and we're OO, but then and again the HRCA has a lot of members in USAnia... and here's me, who's just bought a rather lovely Jouef SNCF 141R to go with his "HOrnby-acHO" SNCF carriages...

I see Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh has come out batting for Trump. I'm guessing that right wing rapists (allegedly) have to stick together.
