Trump Emoluments Case Goes Forward

[okfine]

Trump's lawyer Jay Sekulow cries foul.
Could be that the courts are actually right for denying a halt on the case.
It must be that violating the Constitution is not favorable.

Someone is not having a very good week lawyer-wise.

"The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals voted 9-6 to reject Trump’s motion to dismiss the case, which was brought by the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia, accusing the president of violating the emoluments clauses of the Constitution."

“It clearly held that he is not above the law — that like every other citizen he is subject to the Constitution and the laws of the United States,” he said."

Judge Diana Motz wrote that Trump had not shown an “indisputable” right to shut down the lawsuit, and the documents sought by the attorneys general in the case did not interfere with the president’s official duties.

Even now...




$179,000 for golf carts. You could hire a tractor-trailor to haul around golf carts and put a trucker to work.

Why should the taxpayers pay Trump to play at his own property?

Well, you see, after a court makes a ruling, the case is appealed to a higher court.

Or repurpose a trucker as a trailer-tailor to better decorate them with golf carts.

No, the first case WAS an appeals court case.

Different cases.

Both about emoluments.

He offered.. overstating the obvious..

No, the first case WAS an appeals court case.

So you mean, yes, an appealed decision was subsequently appealed?

WASHINGTON – A federal court on Thursday revived one of three lawsuits challenging the business dealings of President Donald Trump's luxury Washington, D.C., hotel with foreign and domestic governments.

The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit reversed a decision by a three-judge panel and restored a lawsuit filed by the District of Columbia and Maryland that contends government payments for hotel stays constitute unconstitutional gifts to the president.

That could set up a showdown at the Supreme Court next year, because a separate federal appeals court in February dismissed a similar lawsuit filed by members of Congress. A third challenge remains pending in New York. And the Department of Justice which represents the president in the 4th Circuit case said it intends to appeal to the nation's highest court.

The ruling may set up a showdown at the Supreme Court, because another court in February dismissed a similar lawsuit filed by members of Congress.

It has lots of appeal.

It’s a disgrace that it’s taken almost 3.5 years into his presidency* for this to finally get serious.

What's a disgrace is how the DOJ is acting as the presidents attorney.

Trump Emoluments Case Goes Forward

A lot of cases will be going forward after Trump loses the election - both state and federal. He will no longer have any protection from prosecution. Neither will Bill Barr.

If Trump is getting religious, praying won't help. He should never have run for office.

SC justices like Kavanough and Thomas will see this as a phony issue and they will put an end to it.

Fake News

Ding Dong The Democrats’ emoluments clause lawsuit against President Trump is dead

“The justices refused to hear an appeal by 215 Senate and House of Representatives Democrats…”

The Supreme Court has refused to take up an emoluments case filed by Democrats back in 2017. The lower court ruling that Dems do not have standing to bring the case, stands. This pile of resistance crap is dead and drawing flies.

One more little tidbit worth noting here. Guess which Leftwing Nut/Hack judge was all for letting this case go forward initially: Judge Sullivan, the same judge still refusing to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn.

3 1/2 years later and despite the best efforts of Fat Jerry Nadler, Sen. Blumenthal, Judge Sullivan and dozens of other elected Democrats, the Supreme Court just let the air out of this balloon once and for all.

The Democrats’ case is done.
