States should follow Cali's lead, file a lawsuit challenging tariffs to protect economy

You should take legal action against the President's unilateral tariff imposition to defend the economic interests of our state. The tariffs are inflicting severe harm on our industries, jeopardizing jobs, driving up costs for consumers, and destabilizing financial markets that fund vital state services. Like California, our state has a compelling legal argument that the President lacks constitutional authority to levy these sweeping tariffs without congressional approval. Challenging this overreach through the courts is necessary to uphold the separation of powers and protect our state's economy from further damage caused by the President's reckless trade policies. Judicial intervention can provide immediate relief by blocking enforcement of the unlawful tariffs while the legal case proceeds. I urge you to file suit promptly to safeguard our state against the tariffs' profoundly disruptive impacts.
