This is a no win outcome. If they rule for then all the talk about the role of the house is a lie and the president can apply them in any way he chooses, including revenge, personal attacks, extortion and regime change.
If they rule against then the economy may very well collapse as Trump says. In this I believe he's being honest for once as the debt rose by a trillion the last 3 months. Removing tariffs at this point is like pulling out the bottom card.
The choice for the Supreme Court is between corruption or collapse.

If they deny the tariffs, the collapse of the economy is solely on Trump and his political followers.

It wasn't some unknown thing that mass tariff implementation hasn't been legally tested.

A fun read about all of this and history with imposing tariffs.

Another update:

Based on the amount of amicus briefs filed to SCOTUS over this case against the tariffs(a decent number from right wing groups or politicians) it looks like the idea of the people supporting Trump isn't the case.

There's a sense that it's only a matter of time this government will ignore a Supreme Court decision. This may be the one. Incredible considering they have an overwhelming majority of judges, 6-3
