Lawsuit rebukes claim that president can arbitrarily impose tariffs based on act intended for emergencies

A dozen states sued the Trump administration in the US court of international trade in New York on Wednesday to stop its tariff policy, saying it is unlawful and has brought chaos to the American economy.

The lawsuit said the policy put in place by Donald Trump has been subject to his “whims rather than the sound exercise of lawful authority”.

It challenged the US president’s claim that he could arbitrarily impose tariffs based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The suit asks the court to declare the tariffs to be illegal, and to block government agencies and its officers from enforcing them.

Having a bunch of blue states be the ones to do this strikes me as a strategic miss. If it's not bad enough hert to get the red states aboard, federally not much will change it anything. If they had waited until the pain in red states had the Republicans ready to take steps it wouldn't allow it to be painted as partisan. Until Republicans for their party, their reps to demand change, blue states won't be able to hold insanity in check against them as we've seen.
