I wondered what their angle would be for the suit, and the author comments:
> They’re planning to file this week, and the lawsuit is primarily about the President’s power to create tariffs at whim. They’re specifically interested in any businesses directly impacted by the tariffs.
So it looks like it's attacking the way a (plainly, transparently bullshit) "emergency" is being used to invoke emergency powers to levy tariffs purely on the President's authority, including in ways that are totally unrelated to and not even justified in rhetoric by the "emergency".
IOW it reads like this is an attack on the core legal mechanism by which he's doing all this, not some narrower question.
