A federal appeals court yesterday threw out the moronic emoluments clause lawsuit against Donald Trump. A three-judge panel of the 4th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals said unanimously that the federal judge who approved the lawsuit in the first place was a fucking moron who should be hung.
The state of Maryland and the District of Columbia both sued in 2017 asserting that the income Trumps might possibly personally derive from foreign governments for their flunkies staying at his hotels was a violation of the emoluments clause.
The 4th District ruled that they lacked standing, granted a writ of mandamus and ordered the U. S. District Court to shitcan the suit.
The court ruled that their "interest in enforcing the Emoluments Clause is so attenuated and abstract that their prosecution of this case readily provokes the question whether this action against the President is an appropriate use of the courts." The AG of Maryland and the AG of D.C. are both, as one might expect, Trump hater democraps.
This ruling also shortstops the attempts made by these asswipes to force Trump to turn over tax documents and business records.
There is a similar case in the pipeline, filed by 200 Democrat members of congress, which has generated 37 subpoenas against Trump demanding records. ON Monday the DOJ filed for a writ of mandamus in that case also, and asking for a stay on the suboenas.
