Did the government pass any laws to steal those 130 billion dollars from Americans? I can't recall that it did.

Are there any consequences for the people who did it?

The government has long ceased to govern by law. It now governs from the bench, and from executive order, because laws are too troublesome to actually pass.

America operates on a strong executive common law system not whatever system you are imagining.

I took business law more than a decade ago and the professor basically said do what you want (money wise) if you can pay for it. This is the English legal system and is how it's always worked. Liability is purely monetary and the law only applies to those who can show standing to do anything about it.

So no-one affected by illegal tariffs has any legal standing?
