How would there be any grounds for a lawsuit ? The browser is free to implement whatever set of features it wants. Not trusting a specific CA is just a feature (or a bug), whichever way you look at it. A CA is just providing a service on the web. A service can't sue a browser for not supporting the service. Symantec is free to create its own browser that trusts its CA.
