President Trump has had a very good week, so good that even CNN’s Chris Cillizza noted the eight very good things. Those include acquittal from the Democrats made up impeachment theater, the State of the Union speech, Democrat disarray in Iowa, a 49% job approval rating, and a few others, including
Trump Beats Congressional Democrats’ Emoluments Lawsuit
Donald Trump beat back a lawsuit by 215 congressional Democrats who say he has been violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause by profiting from foreign government spending at his Washington hotel and other properties, capping a triumphant week for the president.
A 3-0 federal appeals court in Washington on Friday said the House and Senate members lack legal standing to sue the president because they had not been injured by his alleged conduct. None of the judges was appointed to the court by Trump.
The ruling is the latest victory for Trump, who was acquitted in the Senate Wednesday on articles of impeachment brought by the Democratic-controlled House and found his opposition in disarray following their botched Iowa Caucus.
Trump addressed the ruling as he departed the White House for a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina. “It’s another phony case and we won it three to nothing,†the president said.
Of course, Democrats most likely won’t give up, because they’re bat guano insane
The court left open the possibility that a congressional lawsuit might be able to move forward if a majority of either house authorized it. House Democrats are still reviewing the ruling and have yet to decide whether to hold a vote on a new suit, according to a senior aide. Nevada Democrat Dina Titus, one of the House members who participated in the dismissed suit, on Friday tweeted her support for such action.
They don’t know how to lose gracefully. They’d be best off not even starting. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome is too strong, though, to let them see clearly.
