The "we are not a person or organization" argument sort of breaks down once you file a lawsuit.

The argument made by the plantiffs is that they were harmed by the Treasury Dept's action. One of the plantiffs deposited funds into Tornado for personal privacy, and now cannot legally access these funds.

Is it possible the court will just say "Plaintiffs get a one-time opportunity to declare the source of and withdraw their funds from the contract"?

I don't know if this is the sort of thing a court can do but it seems like the obvious solution to eliminate the damages to the plaintiffs while keeping the sanction in place.

That would be a good outcome

Serious question: Why?

The suit doesn't represent that Tornado Cash itself is a legal person, in fact it represents the opposite. "Tornado Cash" is not the plaintiff.
