Congressional Democrats notch win in emoluments suit against Trump

“As we argued, we believe this case should be dismissed, and we will continue to defend the President in court,” she said.delves deeply into the arguments about how to interpret the so-called foreign emoluments clause and concludes that it prohibits all payments and benefits from foreign governments, not just extra money foreign officials might try to pay to a president on account of his office.

“The Court is persuaded that the text and structure of the Clause, together with the other uses of the term in the Constitution, support plaintiffs’ definition of “Emolument” rather than that of the President,” wrote Sullivan, an appointee of President Bill Clinton. “In view of the overwhelming evidence pointing to over two hundred years of understanding the scope of the Clause to be broad to achieve its purpose of guarding against even the possibility of ‘corruption and foreign influence’ … the Court is persuaded that adopting plaintiffs’ broad definition of ‘Emolument’ ensures that the Clause fulfills this purpose,” the judge added.“This decision is a tremendous victory and vindication of a common sense reading of the Constitution.

Yeah, they are doing their job. Spending every flipping minute of his 4 yr term bashing him left and right and under the table. Meanwhile, our health care suffers and any one in the world is welcome to come in. The more the merrier.

Is it just me or does anyone else have an issue with the DOJ defending Trump's organization in an emoluments suit? So if he's guilty then our tax$ were spent to defend his corruption? He's put us on new constitutional ground in so many ways, I just don't know if this works for me

But the trumps donate any money receive by foreign governments lol. Guess that case is dead on arrival.

Violation of the Constitution and a good reason to cancel Drumpf's lease.
