Yeah, because he's the son of the commerce secretary, so (supposedly) has access to the internal deliberations within the government.

And the en banc appellate court decision was split 7-4, with two republican and two democratic appointees voting to uphold the tariffs.

This was a very complex decision that ideologically divided the courts.

I'm shocked you can't see how this is a potential conflict of interest. You don't need to know the exact outcome of the SC decision to have confidence that things will land in your favor. There are certainly all kinds of high level discussions with legal experts in the White House that could have hinted this outcome as likely. The real question is whether there's any personal involvement still with Cantor or this was something launched without influence. If there was influence though, there will of course be denials and bold-face lying (just like with the Epstein involvement).

You don't need a crystal ball to understand a conservative supreme court would require the government to refund what amounts to an illegal tax on American businesses. If you stick your hand into a fire you don't need to speculate as to whether you'll get burned.
