Court throws out dems asinine “emoluments” lawsuit

dw-

On Friday, President Trump scored another victory, as a three-judge panel ruled against congressional Democrats, dismissing their emoluments lawsuit, the first case where they sued Trump, that alleged Trump violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution, arguing he had done so because his ownership of certain businesses meant that he was receiving payments from foreign officials without approval from Congress.

The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution states, “no person holding any office … shall, without the consent of Congress” accept gifts or other benefits from foreign states.

Democrats had issued over 35 subpoenas demanding a response from the Trump administration by July 29 after Emmet Sullivan of the US District Court in Washington ruled in January that they could continue with the legal discovery process, but then the Justice Department asked an appeals court to block the lawsuit, which was first filed on June 14, 2017, writing that Trump was “likely to suffer irreparable injury” because of “intrusive discovery into his personal finances based on the public office he holds.”

  3. You’d think the Left would learn after a few years.

    Whatever they do against Trump ends up strengthening Trump.

    But no, they just can’t seem to understand what they are doing just works against them. They just do the same things over and over and somehow expect to get different results.

  4. What happened to you, SDNY? You even had your own T-shirt at the end of Mueller Time, but then the Dems decided to go for impeachment failure. And now that Muh Moluments is toast, you’re their last hope. Whatcha got?

  7. It really is a shame that we are brought to this…. we have seen it coming for more than ten years, but it is still hard to swallow (as it were) that we now consider some large percentage of Americans, enemies.

  8. These Democrats are major-league assholes (to paraphrase George Bush).
    All I know is that President Donald Trump is working for FREE, giving all his salary to various Federal Departments (Veterans Admin, National Parks, Dept. of the Interior, NASA, etc), and these major-league assholes (sorry for repeating myself) thinks that he is profiting from the Presidency ??

    He is working for FREE and all they do is harass him — reminds me of plantation overseers….
