We most unite to resist thIs corrupt administration. In the last 3 years, trump & the gop have been setting the foundation for an autoritarian russian-style america. They will stop at nothing to remain in power. Resist

History slowly repeating it self... Does Hitler ring any bells?

Are they trump loyalists too? Sad....

winning

ClassAction Lawsuit? from AmericanCitizens

Another win!!!!!

Man the Dems would lose on judge Judy. 😂

Will Democrats learn? No.

Where is an Avenger or the Justice League when you need them? Is there no hope for what’s right anymore?

We’re really now living in an autocracy. Time for hope is over. Time for action.

Oh no! More common sense! Not a good week for , I mean the democrats. Same thing.

I smell the stench of Barr

'By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end.

Unanimously..... in a notoriously liberal court. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

What?!?

Still winning.

The impeachment was unanimous. So what is your point. However, 67 votes needed for impeachment and there were how votes for impeachment? Is it MSNBC or MSLSD

Get f*****

He just keeps winning I love it

Once again the decision is based on the process and not the crime. How messed up is this? Witness 'I saw him shoot and kill this person.' Cop 'Is your name Bob?' Witness 'No.' Cop 'Sorry, only people named Bob can witness a crime. I will have to let him go.' Witness 'WUT!!!'

Lacks standing really I suppose the lawmakers are not taxpayers? As an attorney I don’t even want to read the opinion. Any citizen and taxpayer should have standing to challenge Trump personally profiting particularly in violation of the Constitutional prohibition of emoluments

That's not exactly what happened......

So who has legal standing, if not Congress

Wtf is going on

And the secret service had to pay over 6 hundred dollars a night to his clubs. Cha ching that's what Trump's bank account hears.

Basically this criminal has zero oversight now. What his court picks don't block, his DoJ will. And what they don't block his shuddering, cowardly, spineless senate sycophants will.

Ok, court. Who does have standing? It can't be 'nobody.' Crimes are being committed.

Good

Yay!!!So much winning!!!Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

WTF

Another win for realDonaldTrump more are coming

Members of Congress have legal oversight authority over the president. PERIOD - this judge was an appointee of trumps’ or a conservative ass

What happened to “no man is above the law”? He actually could get away with murder. Guess all those conservative judges are paying off and will continue to do so for many decades.

Another Reason To Vote in 2020!

Who the hell would have standing over the spending of taxpayer monies than Congress?

Great, America is f*cked forever b/c we let evangelicals and demagogues take over every branch of gov while we were all too busy shopping at Target & ramping up for the holiday season for a few decades. Whoooops! Shame on you . You have a part in this

Fuck.

WOO HOO!!! More WINNING🎉 KAG2020LandslideVictory

This is what 191 crooked and unqualified judicial appointees will buy you.

When you sue, you have to be the aggrieved or injured party. In an emoluments case, the injured party are the citizens of this country. Congress represents the PEOPLE and therefore has the legal standing to sue.

We have a dictator in the White House. Let's vote him out.

👏🏻

This is our new normal. Nothing matters, he will never be held accountable for anything. Sad we have to hope for a crisis to put an end to this.

Lol

He must be the Devil. Nothing sticks to him....nothing...

More winning. Y'all just need to give it up and join the right side of history! KAG

Of course they did. Repubics made sure he is above the law and the constitution.

Thanks too Barr!🤬

great, just another reason to fear the demise of our republic.

and another court loss. Are we ready to lose in 2020? You all know he will cheat and lie to win again. There has got to be something or someone to bring this criminal down. Put your thinking caps on and get busy! Vote blue!

I feel like we are living in a time where no consideration whatsoever is being given to the future. The rolling back on environmental protections, banking regulations, governmental checks and balances and general decency will profoundly affect this country's future.

So now, Barr is prohibiting any new investigations of Trump without Barr's okay and the President can continue to siphon Treasury funds into his pockets without scrutiny. I guess our future, then, is 4 more years of Donny and then 4 of Ivanka and 4 of Jr. I can't wait.

WINNING

More winning for R’s and just another loss for Ds who are still searching for a crime, any crime!

Rigged courts further the cause of totalitarianism

A win a day against the derainged democrats. 😂

any citizen should have standing.

We’ve designed a system where the president is too immune to consequences. It all weighed too heavily on the people not electing a tyrant.

CatSkoor Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.......

JFC IT’S LITERALLY IN THE CONSTITUTION

One of the best weeks trump has had in a while.

Outrageous! There is a mountain of evidence.

niiiiiice - basically because it's a load of horse sh!t

Winning!

Funny. The president's supporters will consider this a win but it is trump who is laughing all the way to the bank complements of the US taxpayers.

Damn if they not looking out for his sorry ass

MariBXBKgirl Well of course they did and why would you go after the King?

LibtardJesus1 So if Congress doesn't have standing to sue for emoluments violations, do businesses who are competitors of Trump's hotels? Probably, and the chances of them suing are nil since corporate America is full of cowards. On to the next fight on taxes and the myriad other scandals.

Never tired of winning

Who does have standing?

The ballot people in November 2020!!

So he really will get away with EVERYTHING! VOTE HIM OUT!

What will it take, literally a shooting on 5th Avenue? He will be President for ever as he will think he is unstoppable. The death of Democracy before our very eyes.

Begs the question: Who the hell does have standing?
