The shutdown can and should be part of Democratic messaging from now until the next election:
“We fought for you. Republicans fought for tax breaks for the rich and powerful.”

This is just wrong. (I'm thankful that another country is helping our soldiers, but it is not their job to do what our country should be doing" There IS money for this. Call your congressperson, esp if they are Republican.

First take out of court: We could get as much as a 9-0 judgment against Trump; the only real question in my mind is whether the rationale is purely based on the statute or if it relies upon some major questions doctrine/nondelegation reasoning.

Questions at oral arguments can be misleading. Sometimes judges play devil’s advocate. This doesn’t appear to be one of those times.
If I had to guess right now (and it is premature!) I'd say the Supreme Court is going to strike down Trump's tariffs.
All three liberals are clearly against the government. Barrett too. Roberts leaning that way. And we haven't even gotten to tax-hater Gorsuch yet.
