> What the court can’t do is then second guess that finding—analyzing it substantively to determine whether it is correct or not.

Asking weather if follows a.1 and a.2 does not seem 100% independent of asking if it is correct or not.

"I as president claim a.1, and a.2 are not being violated their for the law allows me to impose a tariff"

"I as president stubbed my toe this morning therefore a.1 and a.2 have been violated and I will be imposing a tariff."

"a.1 and a.2 have been violated, no I will not tell you how, therefor tariff."

You are saying it is black and white, but it does not seem so in the examples above.
