Appeals court rules Democrats can't sue Trump over emoluments claims

February 07, 2020 - 10:18 AM ESTAppeals court rules Democrats can't sue Trump over emoluments claims




A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., threw out a lawsuit accusing President Trump of illegally profiting off his private businesses while in office, ruling that the Democratic lawmakers who brought the suit lack legal standing.

A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday did not rule on whether the president was violating the Constitution by profiting off foreign governments' spending at his hotels. The judges unanimously said in a brief 12-page decision that the dispute centering around the Constitution's emoluments clauses has no place in the court system.

"The Members can, and likely will, continue to use their weighty voices to make their case to the American people, their colleagues in the Congress and the President himself, all of whom are free to engage that argument as they see fit," the judges wrote. "But we will not—indeed we cannot—participate in this debate."​

"'The Framers included the Foreign Emoluments Clause in the Constitution as the Constitution’s chief bulwark against the foreign corruption of America’s leaders, and for more than half of his term, President Trump has been violating this critical anti-corruption provision, accepting benefits from foreign governments without first obtaining Congress’s affirmative consent,' said Elizabeth Wydra, the president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, who is representing the Democrats in the case, in a statement.

"While we are disappointed in the panel's decision and are in active discussions with our clients as they consider their next steps, it is important to recognize that today’s ruling is not a decision on the merits.

"'The Court of Appeals did not in any way approve of President Trump’s repeated and flagrant violations of the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause,' Wydra added."

Why do you think a crony-capitalist who found a way to cut out the middleman is afraid to release his taxes and other financial documents?

Ralph Nader is calling on Democrats to initiate a second round of impeachment resolutions:

Ralph Nader: The vengeful, lawless, corporate toady Trump just exploded

"What Democrats have going for them is the certainty that Trump will continue to commit daily impeachable offenses, including defying Congressional subpoenas.

"Despite these daily offenses, Trump continues to mock the Democrats.

"He is practically begging them to pursue a second round of impeachment charges.

"They should do so just to defend the critical checks and balances required by the Constitution."

Ralph Nader: The vengeful, lawless, corporate toady Trump just exploded

"The egomaniacal Trump is inebriated with his disgraceful acquittal, convinced of his own innocence, despite the clear evidence of his guilt.

"No apologies, no remorse, since he never does 'anything wrong.'

"Trump’s petulant actions could make him an object of abject pity were he not in a position to start wars, shred the Constitution, repeal life-saving regulations, and turn the U.S. government over to avaricious giant corporations.

"In politics, the tactical question between the contestants is who is on the offensive and who is on the defensive. Trump knows this in his gut."
