Democrats "Emoluments Lawsuit" goes down in flames
A court dismissed the emoluments lawsuit filed by 215 Democrats in Congress against President Trump, ruling that the appellees lacked standing.
The emoluments clause is a provision that bars US presidents from accepting gifts from foreign governments without permission from Congress first.
The 2017 emoluments lawsuit against Trump was led by Stolen Valor fraud Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal (D-CT).
Da Nang Dick and the 200+ Democrats took another loss today!

The U.S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Friday dismissed an emoluments-related lawsuit filed by members of Congress against President Donald Trump, ruling that the appellees lacked standing. The three-part Article III standing test requires that the plaintiff demonstrate an “injury in fact” if a lawsuit is to move forward: 1) The plaintiff must have suffered an “injury in fact,” meaning that the injury is of a legally protected interest which is (a) concrete and particularized and (b) actual or imminent 2) There must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct brought before the court 3) It must be likely, rather than speculative, that a favorable decision by the court will redress the injury The court said that the 215 Members of the Congress failed that test. 2
