Federal court on CREW emolument suit against Trump: Come on, man..... Remember all that hyperventilating over the Emoluments Clause and Donald Trump’s business empire? Politically, it made good copy. Legally, however, the arguments fell flat, at least on their first deployment. Federal district court Judge George Daniels dismissed a lawsuit yesterday that argued Trump was violating the Constitution and conducting unfair business practices by refusing to divest his holdings after the election: In a legal victory for the Trump administration, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit on Thursday that accused President Trump of violating the Constitution by continuing to own and profit from his business empire. The second and more notable lawsuit came from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the left-leaning public accountability activist group, restaurant workers union ROC, and a restaurant owner. The plaintiffs prepared their case better and specifically rested it on the Emoluments Clause and allegations of unfair competition, with the latter allegedly causing real economic harm to workers in the hospitality industry. It also alleges that foreign governments using Trump properties amount to payments of emoluments, especially since his status as president makes those properties more attractive. Daniels concludes: If Congress wishes to confront Defendant over a perceived violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause, it can take action. However, if it chooses not to, “it is not [this Court’s] task to do so.” Goldwater, 444 U.S. at 998. This Court will not tell Congress how it should or should not assert its power in responding to Defendant’s alleged violations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. In short, unless and until Congress speaks on this issue, Plaintiffs’ Foreign Emoluments Clause claims are not ripe for adjudication......snip~ https://hotair.com/archives/2017/12/22/federal-court-crew-emolument-suit-trump-come-man/ Another Trump win and the left loses their Emoluments argument. Of course we should expect the Leftness to Appeal. But then they might not want that going to SCOTUS who will end up backing Daniels. What say ye?
Thas Right leftists.....time for you to run away and not use this failed lame excuse your kind uses and utters forth. Hows that feel?
I am impressed with this judge.. From the OP link...... This Court will not tell Congress how it should or should not assert its power in responding to Defendant’s alleged violations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. In short, unless and until Congress speaks on this issue, Plaintiffs’ Foreign Emoluments Clause claims are not ripe for adjudication.
In other words Drumpf can continue to violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution unless Congress acts to stop him.........and you folks are happy about that.............because you know a Repub lead Congress will not act...............making Don's admin one of the most corrupt in history from the top down........................so.................another loss for the country...................thanks for the update.
No, but renting rooms 'from the president' which fattens his wallet could be construed as a bribe. See the difference? Laughable at least.
Congress is the only ones that can per the Constitution not a judge accordintg to his ruling , Any one read the 1st lawsuit ? Only a lefty would file a frivolous lawsuit over a campaign promise. From the link... Daniels shot down two claims yesterday against Trump and his family. The first, filed pro se by someone named William Weinstein, didn’t take much effort to shut down. Daniels ruled that Weinstein doesn’t actually make any claims under the Emoluments Clause, that it doesn’t involve a breach of contract (rather, just arguably unfulfilled campaign promises),
Still dn't get it do you? You are attempting to build a mountain not out of a molehill but of the Qattara Depression

Daniels ruled that Weinstein doesn’t actually make any claims under the Emoluments Clause, that it doesn’t involve a breach of contract (rather, just arguably unfulfilled campaign promises), and in fact never asserts a justifiable legal cause of action. Daniels quickly dispenses with Weinstein’s nuisance lawsuit by granting the motion to dismiss......snip~ It was great.....this Judge told the leftist. Your nuisance lawsuit is dismissed.

Now that Trump is changing up the courts for decades to come. The left will be hearing that a lot.
Well what this Judge is saying.....is their Perceived Beliefs are just that. Their own Perceived Belief. Nothing that is part of reality.
