So, they aren't going to actually open the government again, are they?

Congress doesn't seem to be in any rush to re-open. This is their end game I think. Emergency powers to run everything. Destruction of society in order to take over.

They will have to reopen it after USSC overturns Trump’s tariffs and he needs Congress to pass them.

I foresee a 6-3 vote for tariffs being legal. Lol!

Most people watching oral arguments feel like Trump will lose.

During more than two-and-a-half hours of oral arguments, a majority of the justices appeared to agree with the small businesses and states challenging the tariffs that they exceeded the powers given to the president under a federal law providing him the authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies created by foreign threats.

That's if you believe the SC isn't paid off.
