Trump gets sued over the Canadian tariffs, another legal challenge piles up
bbc.co.uk
There's a new lawsuit against Trump over the tariffs on Canada, which joins a growing list of legal challenges to his tariff policy. The big question with these cases is usually whether the president actually has the authority he's claiming, not whether the tariffs are a good idea. Do people think the courts will actually rein this in, or will it drag on until it doesn't matter?

these cases take forever. by the time there's a ruling the tariffs might have changed three times
