A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously ruled that more than 200 Democratic congressional lawmakers do not have standing to sue President Trump over allegations he violated the Emoluments Clause over foreign payments to his businesses.
“Because we conclude that the Members lack standing, we reverse the district court and remand with instructions to dismiss their complaint,” the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said in its ruling.
quotes from a couple Dem congress critters makes it sound like they won’t appeal to the supreme court.
These are not gifts to the president, they are fee’s for a service.
So looks like Dem’s will need to try a different direction.
I have read the Opinion of the Court, which was a unanimous per curiam. The dismissal was purely for lack of Article III standing by the Congressmen Plaintiffs. NOTHING was decided on the merits.
Let’s say it’s a pretty nice room, and a fair market value, which is always charged to the regular folks, goes for $500 a night. But then someone says “Hey, I’ll rent it for a month, and pay $1,000 a night.”
