Appeals court rejects Democrats' emoluments suit against Trump

A federal appeals court has rejected a lawsuit from Congressional Democrats who accused President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution by receiving profits from foreign governments' spending at his luxury Washington hotel and other businesses.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision did not address the legality of Trump's business dealings, but held that the more than 200 Democratic senators and House members who banded together in 2017 to bring the suit against the president lacked legal standing to do so.

Last year, the Richmond-based 4th Circuit and the New York-based 2nd Circuit issued conflicting rulings on suits challenging Trump's profits.

The headline is misleading. He's not off the hook

Is justice even a thing now? Does the constitution even matter now ?

And meanwhile MoscowMitch keeps stacking court appointments

mterr337 Because this is ok now obviously as long as Trump says so.

Fascism is here folks!

Bet trump will chicken out on any debate with any dem. He still has not shown his taxes. We all know he must be washing drug money or he is hideing money with Putin somewhere, prove me wrong. No one can!

Not surprised. They may not have had standing.

Crook

“WINNING”!!

The left rages Trump but, they sue his administration at every turn and lose. A lot of this they bring on themselves. It’s just silly.

Time for a country wide class action brought by the people.

Narrator: Because apparently nothing matters anymore.

Never ever I saw something like this in the story of USA.

The Dems are such jerks

Why is there even an emoluments clause? It seems to be meaningless and unenforceable.

Refile the lawsuit, SpeakerPelosi

More election strategy harassment/hate speech from deranged do nothing democrats!

Yet another violation of process by the Dems.

Of course it did. Our constitution means nothing.

Another win by Trump, he wins at everything ! Making the Dems look like childish monkeys!

This needs to go to SCOTUS. Will the Emolument Clause in the Constitution be meaningless? If so, it would mean that the Constitution can be eviscerated bit-by-bit, with the consent of the SCOTUS.

Ruling is on standing, not the merits. Fix your headline.

Protest those judges! It is clear trump is guilty of benefitting monetarily personally from his POTUS office. Trump Hotel Washington is glaringly obvious. So these judges are corrupted too. The Law has been attacked by MoscowMitch

At this point, we can consider Trump to be the ultimate welfare recipient.

This headline is really misleading. Such a shame.

Our government is a fucking joke

Of course. The only courts with balls these days are for tennis.

Is tds real?

The Courts in America ARE also defending 'white supremacy' with actions that supports the INJUSTICES to the Constitution of the United States and Democracy. How can the legal establishment CONTINUE to make discriminatory decisions against the American people based on race/ status

More winning

TrumpDerangementSyndrome 😀

That’s ok, he’s got many others that are going through.
