I don't want to get my hopes up. But since this tariffs thing is the first "major" disputed Constitutional divide with respect to the "Unitary Executive" (as they still haven't dealt with the "Birthright Citizenship" thing) then just based on the types of questions, some of the vapid 6 are starting to "see" the attempt to eliminate the powers of the ~~Executive Branch~~ Legislative Branch (fixed) and that means they may be next.

The Appellate Courts have all said this but the SCOTUS "stays" have been helping to fuel that drive towards usurping the intentions of Congress (and it's not just with those 2 issues but now with the financial stuff - basically ignoring the "Budget Control and Impoundment Act" as well, by picking and choosing what to fund and not to fund, regardless of what Congress intended).
