A federal district judge in Washington ruled on Friday that a group of nearly 200 Democratic senators and representatives have 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 and domestic interests.
The U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan found that lawmakers have adequately shown that they’ve suffered harm from the president’s alleged violation of the emoluments clause, which bans benefits from foreign governments unless a majority of both houses of Congress consent.

An what is the lying Obama appointed Judges name...
Did Jimmy Carter and his brother sell peanuts to foreign buyers?
Over a soccer ball?
This will be fun.
No, they don’t have standing.
First off, that word doesn’t mean what they are trying to twist it into.
“they’ve suffered harm “
What harm??
Where did that jackass get his law degree, the Affirmative Action college??
Blood is thicker than water ...
A US District Court has no jurisdiction over the President.
This has to go to the US Supreme Court.
Now what are the odds of that?
LMAO
I don’t think Trump is steering business his way. Folks want to stay in a nice place, and he has them.
He’s not connected to the day to day operations now, so this is just silliness.
Just what TRUMP DESERVES for opening FAKE FBI investigation!! NO CORRUPT FBI is going to find CRAZY FORD GUILTY like she IS!!
Would you be so kind as to elaborate?
Most likely.
1. Look up the word ‘emoluments’.
2. Find how Trump having a business as a President violates that definition.
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
The Emolument’s clause is about foreign money, and the word ‘emolument’ is payment for office. In no way has Trump accepted payment for being President.
so running a business is not but Gifts now
Will be slapped down, as usual. We do need a better way to can judges like this one, though.
Can’t get Kavanaugh on quick enough.
