As a recovering scholar of #trade policy and #tariffs, I was most struck by #ChiefJustic #JohnRoberts questions about the economics of the tariff yesterday.
1. Who pays the tariffs is a matter of #economics, not #law. He shouldn't be asking about it at all.

And of course CJ Roberts' irrelevant interest in "who pays" the tariffs. That's not a question of law, and he posed it incorrectly in any case.

#JohnRoberts majored in history at Harvard. That's great - but he should have taken some economics too. (If he did, he clearly didn't take enough economics.)
But really, he shouldn't be asking economics questions at all. The law is simple:

Since consumers are paying more, other first - domestic and perhaps some foreign - may move in, offering the good for (say) only 20% more.
Exporters see less demand, so their sales go down. They can make some of that up in other markets, which various reactions there.
Plus deadweight losses.

Example: an importer pays a 50% tariff. Suppose that because of market conditions (elasticities etc.), the importer can pass half of that tariff on to consumers.
So, consumers pay 25% more, and importer costs go up 25%.
But, wait! There's more . . .
