Federal judge okays Emoluments Clause lawsuit against Trump

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal district judge in Washington says a group of nearly 200 Democratic senators and representatives has legal standing to sue President Donald Trump to prove he violated the U.S. Constitution’s emoluments provision banning the acceptance of gifts from foreign interests.

The ruling by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan is the second decision by a federal court advancing such constitutional lawsuits against the president. A federal judge in Maryland ruled in July that a similar lawsuit against Trump by attorneys general for Maryland and the District of Columbia could proceed, but it only covered Trump’s earnings from his hotel in Washington.

More good news! No president should be allowed to profit from gifts or cash from foreign interests.

Gosh, what could happen with that and the House losing it's GOP leadership in January? Which brings to mind Nunes and his WH golf cart shuttle service? Can we say emoluments?

This is more trouble for your Daddy Trumpkins, probably starting next January!

"Almost 200 Congressional Democrats won a ruling allowing them to proceed with a lawsuit claiming that Donald Trump is violating a Constitutional ban on receiving benefits from foreign governments while president without their permission.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan denied a Justice Department request to dismiss the lawsuit, filed last year by Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal and other members of the House and Senate. The judge ruled they have legal standing to pursue their claim, while deferring his decision on other defense arguments."

More; ~~ Terms of Service Violation ~~

Geez . Every time the Obama’s went anywhere we were bombarded with stories on how much it cost the taxpayer .

President Trump could use pocket change buy some of those entire countries that are alleged to have given him "gifts". The allegations are ludicrous and it makes you wonder about the sanity of the "group of 200 democrat senators and representatives"".

Appeals court dismisses emoluments lawsuit involving President Trump’s D.C. hotel.

Unanimous ruling.

The decision also stops dozens of subpoenas to federal government agencies and Trump’s private business entities demanding financial records.

This Emoluments Case "is so attenuated and abstract that their prosecution of this case readily provokes the question of whether this action against the President is an appropriate use of the courts, which were created to resolve real cases and controversies between the parties,”

Trump has been able to prevent the release of any private business information to the courts, leaving Democrats to wonder whether he will be affected by any of the inquiries before he faces reelection next year.
