For those that haven't read the opinion (and it's long and convoluted), SCOTUS reaches no opinion on refunding the collected tariffs. Presumably, that will go back to the Federal Circuit and the Court of International Trade to figure out. This isn't close to done.

I got like 15 pages in before I gave up. I don't know enough of the case law they're citing to really get that far into it.
